Data is key to gaining new insights within organizations and offering businesses the opportunity to further develop their capabilities. However, data handling is no mean feat, seeing many companies struggle with their reporting processes.
One such company that found itself in need of a transformation to facilitate efficient data integration and improved query speeds is US-based company, Chewy, one of the leading online retailers of pet food and products.
With approximately 18,000 employees, serving about 20 million pet parents, Chewy faced a significant challenge with its user-friendliness of BI Publisher Admin, a tool used for data consolidation, reconciliation and reporting.
This left it with a hindered ability to efficiently query data from various systems and extract meaningful insights. The challenge then prompted Chewy to seek a solution that will enhance its data querying and reporting capabilities.
Reforming querying and reporting processes
In its pursuit to streamline data querying, Chewy decided to incorporate the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tool by SplashBI, SQL Connect, created to bridge gaps left by Oracle’s standard tools or similar offerings.
Aravind Chencharapu, lead software engineer at Chewy, shared that “SQL Connect has greatly simplified the integration of Oracle ERP with other microservices and Warehouse Management System (WMS) systems at Chewy”.
This contributed to seamless data consolidation and reconciliation, efficient query execution, data validation and report generation.
Chencharapu shared: “SQL Connect has reformed our data querying and reporting processes at Chewy. Its user-friendly interface and powerful features have significantly improved our efficiency” as the team also found SQL Connect to be an invaluable tool for quick data analysis and information extraction.
A “positive impact” on decision-making processes
By leaning on SQL Connect, Chencharapu’s team of 11 successfully addressed the challenges with data querying and reporting as the team benefited from executing tasks with increased efficiency.
“With SQL Connect, we can now analyze data and retrieve information quickly, which has had a positive impact on our decision-making processes,” Chencharapu added.
SplashBI’s case demonstrates how receiving help with organizing data and leveraging its abilities can positively contribute to the success of serving millions of its pet customers.
