Case Study: Briscoe Group achieves faster automated retail reporting with Google Cloud Platform

Briscoe Group Unlocking retail data insights with on-prem data piped to cloud analytics

Briscoe Group, one of New Zealand’s leading retailers, needed more flexible and agile reporting than its on-premise SAP business warehouse could provide. Working with Google Cloud Platform and its partner CDP/Mero Group, the company wanted to connect its data warehouse to a cloud data service to combine internal and external data feeds, improve analytics, and maintain strong standards for integrity, security, and privacy.

Google Cloud Platform helped Briscoe Group build a hybrid data platform using BigQuery, with a one-way pipeline from SAP Business Warehouse and controlled access for production and development. The result was highly automated daily reporting in under 3 minutes, 75% time savings on manual sales reports, improved standardization across the business, and new insights from combining data sources such as store traffic and weather data.
