As a retail company, the client was reliant on exports to do their weekly reporting. This leads to confusion in metric definitions and multiple versions of the truth as well as an excessive amount of manual effort. To achieve the required reporting, strengthen data security, and improve analytics and visualizations, KPI Partners performed a key integration between Tableau and Azure which provide a comprehensive business intelligence solution that helped to turn Williams-Sonoma sales data into actionable insights.
KPI Retail Analytics made it possible for Williams Sonoma to gain the benefits of centralized data and eliminating manual effort.
KPI Retail Analytics is putting data in the hands of business users for more agility and transparency and a self-service approach with IT governance to ensure data is trustworthy.
KPI uses Microsoft Azure services such as SQL Data Warehouse, and SQL Database which allow client to deploy at scale and with elasticity while allowing IT to maintain data integrity and governance. Tableau provides a fast and scalable enterprise analytics platform for the Azure data services which enables client to analyze and share their data. KPI created a data warehouse that leverages data from many sources to allow ease of data blending (such as store traffic data to demand to map)
By hosting the reporting environment, KPI enables the client to focus on growing its business instead of data validation, security, and infrastructure maintenance.
