Data Engineering: Scalable Data Engineering for a Leading Retail Enterprise

A leading mid-to-large-scale retail enterprise struggled with fragmented data systems, slow analytics, and costly data processing across its e-commerce, in-store, and supply chain operations. With multiple legacy databases, unstructured data, and disconnected analytics, they faced challenges in inventory forecasting, personalized customer engagement, and real-time sales tracking.

Our Global Data Engineering Team was engaged to design and implement a high-performance, scalable, and cost-efficient data architecture to unify their data, accelerate insights, and optimize decision-making.

Challenges & Client Pain Points: 

  • Disparate Data Sources – Siloed data across POS, e-commerce, and warehouse systems causing inefficiencies.
  • Slow & Costly Analytics – Legacy infrastructure unable to process real-time data for fast decision-making.
  • Inefficient Inventory Forecasting – Lack of predictive insights leading to stockouts and overstock issues.
  • Customer Engagement Gaps – Limited personalization due to fragmented customer data across platforms.
