Challenges – Before DataChannel

• Scattered data over multiple sources resulted in the classical data silo issues ,  hindering smart decision-making. The need of the hour was to aggregate multiple data sources across various marketing platforms, business systems, device storage, and centralize them into a single source of truth.

• Lack of fresh data for various KPIs such as ROI, CTC, ROAS, CPC, etc. Their requirement was a robust ELT solution that facilitates trustworthy, timely, automated, and granular data access for effective reporting.

• The focus was divided between core business functions and data aggregation / management. This called for a cloud-based solution for integrating their data into Google Bigquery data warehouse , which then drove their entire downstream reporting & BI functions.
