Context
A leading French retail group with 300+ stores and €1.2B revenue was operating with 12 disconnected data systems, making cross-functional reporting nearly impossible.
The Challenge
Finance, operations, and marketing each maintained their own data repositories with no single source of truth. Monthly reporting took 3 weeks and still contained errors. Leadership could not get a unified view of store performance in real time.
Our Approach
- 1.Conducted a full data audit across all 12 systems over 4 weeks
- 2.Designed a centralized data architecture with a cloud data warehouse
- 3.Built a unified KPI framework aligned with the executive committee's priorities
- 4.Developed executive dashboards with daily automated refresh
- 5.Trained 40 business users across finance, ops, and marketing
