Client Background and Business Context
A prominent global retail company, operating at hundreds of locations worldwide, encountered complex obstacles in effectively managing its master data. Their information was scattered across a vast network of local websites and Google Analytics properties.
This fragmented data landscape hindered their ability to gain valuable insights for business intelligence (BI) and optimize the customer experience. Additionally, implementing a new digital solution required a balance between leveraging a remote team and on-site expertise.
Project Overview
The project aimed to centralize data, optimize the customer experience, and achieve efficient remote implementation. Here’s a breakdown of the objectives:
- Centralize Data Integration: Unify data from hundreds of sources into a single platform for seamless BI analysis.
- Optimize Customer Experience: Leverage data insights to personalize marketing campaigns and enhance the in-store experience.
- Remote Implementation Efficiency: Deliver the solution with minimal disruption through a remote-first approach.
Challenges Faced
- Data Standardization: Data from various sources required cleaning and standardization to ensure consistency within the platform.
- Remote Collaboration: Effective communication and project management were crucial for a successful remote implementation.
Our Approach
To address the challenges, we implemented the following solutions:
- Data Aggregation Engine: Integrated data from various sources into a centralized platform.
