Case Study: a UK building materials retailer achieves £1m in new revenue with Beyond's GCP-native data platform

UK Building Materials Retailer generates £1m net new revenue with Beyond

The UK building materials retailer faced significant challenges with its outdated data platform. Manual processes meant it took approximately two weeks to onboard new data sources, creating bottlenecks and slowing decision-making. The system suffered from poor data quality, duplication, and inadequate security controls, which undermined trust in reporting and raised serious GDPR compliance concerns. To address this, the retailer partnered with Beyond for a data modernization solution.

Beyond designed and delivered a new GCP-native data platform that automated data onboarding, reducing the process from weeks to hours. They integrated robust data quality controls and governed access to ensure security and achieve 100% GDPR compliance. The implementation of Looker provided real-time business intelligence, which was later developed into a monetization program. This transformation enabled real-time insights and generated £1m in net new revenue for the retailer.
