Coffee Chain Data Unification.
Unifying operations across 200+ outlets by consolidating 5 different POS systems, multiple accounting databases, and marketing data into a single BigQuery data warehouse with advanced Looker Studio analytics.
Project Overview
This major Vietnamese coffee chain faced the challenge of managing operations across 200+ outlets with fragmented systems. Five different POS systems, separate accounting databases from multiple entities, and disconnected marketing platforms created data silos that hindered decision-making and operational efficiency.
Our solution consolidated all data sources into a unified BigQuery data warehouse, enabling real-time analytics through Looker Studio dashboards. This transformation provided unprecedented visibility into operations, sales performance, inventory management, and customer behavior across the entire chain.
Key Challenge
The client struggled with data fragmentation across 5 different POS systems, multiple accounting databases from separate business entities, and isolated marketing platforms. This created blind spots in operations and made strategic decision-making nearly impossible.
