Case Study: Contidis achieves faster retail insights and smarter operations with Microsoft Corporation

Contidis gets the business insight it needs to build Angola’s nationwide superstore chain

Contidis, the Angolan retail company building the Candando superstore chain, needed faster, more flexible business intelligence to support expansion and manage operations. Its existing SAP for Retail setup in AWS could not deliver the detailed reporting, analytics, and security its managers required, so Contidis turned to Microsoft Corporation’s Power BI and Azure-based tools with help from partner DevScope.

Microsoft Corporation implemented a BI solution using Power BI, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Analysis Services, first connecting data through Excel and later unifying it in Azure for better performance and mobile access. The result was a scalable, secure reporting platform used by more than 100 employees, helping Contidis spot fraud and inventory errors, measure promotion effectiveness, compare competitor pricing in real time, and save an estimated 3,600 euros per year by scaling services down overnight.
