Problem Statement
The client, a growing technology company, was struggling with scattered data systems and limited visibility into critical business metrics. Their fragmented approach to data analysis led to inefficiencies in generating reports, delaying decision-making and hindering their ability to track performance effectively.
Approach & Solution
To tackle the inefficiencies, we introduced a robust backend data system, leveraging the power of Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Built a centralized BigQuery data warehouse to consolidate information from multiple data sources, ensuring seamless data flow and storage.
- Implemented SQL transformations to harmonize and prepare data for efficient querying, enabling faster data retrieval.
- Developed 10+ custom dashboards using Looker Studio for real-time reporting, providing easy access to key metrics across departments.
- Configured Looker to allow advanced analyses, supporting the client’s need for in-depth performance tracking and reporting across their business units.
Results & Outcomes
Consolidating the data sources reduced data fragmentation and processing times by 60%. Automated dashboards replaced manual reporting, saving the team around 30 hours per week. With improved data visibility and access to real-time insights, the client was able to make faster, more informed business decisions, leading to enhanced operational efficiency.
