Food solutions manufacturer improves business insights with a cloud data architecture
Is your data platform designed for your needs and built to grow with your business?
Overview
A single source of truth with accurate and timely data insights across the company is critical for manufacturers.
Our client, a fine food manufacturer that provides protein and meal solutions for customers ranging from national restaurants to food service providers was utilizing a legacy data platform that relied on a difficult-to-maintain database and business intelligence solutions requiring heavy technical coding skills.
The existing process was very manual and prone to errors, sometimes delaying turnaround time in responding to customers’ data requests. This process impeded the client’s ability to create new reports or aggregate reports across multiple programs for each customer. The current reporting could represent a point in time but did not easily allow for trending over time.
Our solution
Improved Reporting and Data Analytics
OneSix presented a case for a modern cloud data architecture that would reduce maintenance overhead as well as the ability to scale in size and volume as their data needs continue to grow. As a decision was solidified, an end-to-end Data Lake and Data Warehouse solution was created with an initial set of analytics reporting that provided full visibility into the P&L and Balance Sheet for the finance executive team as well as a visual view of their labor data for operations leadership.
