🍒 A global food retailer needed to improve decision-making agility for its business units by providing faster access to integrated and up-to-date data.

☁️ Closer implemented a centralized data pool in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) containing critical business information like sales, supply chain, inventory and e-commerce data. This near-real-time data pool empowers business units with instantaneous insights for informed decision-making.

As a result, the food retailer obtained:

  • 90 TB of integrated business data.
  • Marketing reports reduced from 3 days to near-real-time.
  • Massive reduction of shadow IT reports and supporting activities.
