A famous chain of shops has planned an investment to open a new store in an expensive but potentially profitable square.
For this reason he decided to downsize the number of stores by closing two.
Thanks to the BS4 technologies and all-in-one solution, it was possible to bring together a team of Business Intelligence and create a model for big data analysis, on the data obtained from the devices, combined with those provided by the customer himself.
The customer was also provided the necessary training to use the BI platform and was supported for 4 days a month by BS4 analysts.
Through the examination of the model obtained, it has been possible to reduce the awareness by which the company has obtained a good increase in profit.
The system was then maintained for the analysis of the KPIs of the individual stores and the constant monitoring of the offices in support of the decision-making process.
