Analytics focused data warehouse helped the client to take insights and thereby increased sales in a cost-effective way

Summary

E&I, the only member owned, non-profit sourcing cooperative serving the education community, sought to enhance its Member interactions and drive greater value from each Member relationship. They needed a robust data solution that would enable them to efficiently analyze Member data, gain valuable insights, and deliver personalized services. KASH Tech's data services were engaged to design and implement an analytics-focused data warehouse tailored to meet E&I's specific business needs.

The Challenges

The challenges facing E&I were diverse and systemic:

• • Data Fragmentation: E&I lacked a single source of the truth, with data dispersed across various systems and departments, making it challenging to derive comprehensive insights and actionable information from their Member interactions.

  • Limited Analytical Capabilities: The existing data warehouse had not been maintained or updated to support advanced analytics capabilities, hindering E&I's ability to uncover meaningful patterns and trends within Member data.

  • Inefficient Member Interactions: E&I struggled to provide personalized and timely responses to Member queries and requirements, impacting overall customer experiences.

  • Incomplete Customer Insights: The absence of an analytics-focused centralized data repository hindered E&I's ability to develop a holistic understanding of each Member's preferences, buying patterns, and pain points.
