Our client, a retail company, needed a solution to centralize and analyze massive amounts of sales and marketing data from various regions, improving decision-making and uncovering valuable insights. They required Data Engineering support and dynamic dashboards to visualize KPIs and monitor performance.
Data was scattered across multiple platforms, making integration complex
Inconsistent data accuracy hindered reliable reporting
Business decisions were delayed due to the lack of real-time, unified dashboards that provided all the necessary insights
To address these challenges, we designed a comprehensive Data Engineering and data visualization solution. Multiple teams collaborated to implement the system, ensuring seamless data integration and insightful visualization.
Requirements Gathering: Collaborated with key stakeholders to outline the technical requirements, ensuring the solution addressed all pain points and streamlined their existing processes.
KPI Definition: Worked with the client to define the essential KPIs that would be tracked on the dashboards, including:
Data Integration: The team integrated data from multiple sources, such as transactional systems and third-party services, into a centralized data warehouse.
Data Aggregation: They aggregated data across different departments, ensuring all relevant metrics were accurately represented.
Data Cleaning: The team ensured data consistency and accuracy by performing rigorous data cleaning, eliminating errors, and addressing inconsistencies, etc.
Dashboard Design: The team developed intuitive dashboards that visualized the client’s KPIs, focusing on accessibility and ease of use.
Interactive Visualizations: They built interactive visualizations, enabling real-time filtering and drill-downs to support more detailed data analysis.
Predictive Visualization: Incorporated predictive analytics to show future trends based on current data, such as expected sales growth by region and forecasted marketing ROI.
KPI Alignment: Key business KPIs were organized into the dashboard, making performance metrics accessible across departments and facilitating data-driven decision-making.
The project was executed in the following phases
Discovery & Planning: The Business Analyst held workshops to identify the client's KPI requirements, existing data gaps, and key details of their current solutions
The Data Engineering and Visualization teams collaborated to design a scalable solution with as few changes as possible to the customer’s existing system
The Data Engineering team integrated various data sources and ensured data accuracy through cleaning and aggregation
At the same time, the Data Visualization team began developing interactive dashboards, taking into account the new requests the customer wanted to implement
The visualizations were thoroughly tested to ensure they provided accurate and timely insights. The Business Analyst validated the dashboard’s effectiveness in reflecting the client’s KPIs.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) was conducted with the stakeholders to thoroughly validate the data integration, cleaning, and visualization results
We established ongoing support to monitor and maintain the system’s performance and correctness.
Additionally, we incorporated new data visualization requests from stakeholders, including integrating new data sources, developing new dashboards, and adding reports for new KPIs to further optimize business decision-making processes
