    Building a Single Source of Truth

    A South African retail group had data in 12 different systems with no unified view. We built a centralised platform that became their single source of truth.

    Retail analytics dashboard showing unified inventory and sales data

    The Challenge

    • 12 disconnected systems across stores, warehouses, and head office
    • Inventory data 48+ hours out of date, causing stockouts and overstock
    • Monthly reporting took a team of 3 people an entire week to compile
    • No unified customer view across online and in-store channels
    • Expansion plans delayed because systems couldn't scale

    The Solution

    • Designed and built a centralised data platform connecting all 12 systems
    • Implemented real-time inventory synchronisation across all locations
    • Created automated reporting suite replacing the manual compilation process
    • Built unified customer profiles merging online and in-store data
    • Deployed scalable architecture supporting their 5-year expansion plan
