Case Study: Specsavers achieves up to 4 hours saved per learner per week with DataCamp for Business

How Specsavers Achieved 4 Hours Time Saved Per Learner Per Week with DataCamp for Business

Specsavers, a leading provider of optometry, audiology and healthcare services, faced heavy reliance on Excel and significant skills gaps in Power BI and Databricks that left the central analytics team overwhelmed and delayed data-driven decisions. To decentralize analytics and build data literacy across roles, Specsavers partnered with DataCamp for Business to upskill employees in Power BI, PySpark, SQL and Python.

DataCamp delivered tailored learning paths, custom DataCamp Workspace projects, assessments, hackathons and hands‑on support from a Customer Success team. As a result, 115 employees were upskilled, Specsavers completed hundreds of courses and projects, and teams report up to four hours saved per employee per week after moving routine work from Excel to Power BI and Databricks—reducing pressure on central analytics and improving internal mobility.
