Case Study: Sky IT Group achieves 28% client revenue increase with OpenText Vertica Analytics Platform

Vertica delivers faster insights into consumer sales trends, resulting in 28 percent revenue increases for Sky IT Group clients

Sky IT Group, a leader in global sell-through data collection and the creator of the SKYPAD self-serve reporting suite, faced scaling challenges as its client base grew to 50+ major fashion brands. The company needed to handle increasing data variety, velocity, and volume while delivering high-performance analytics and visualizations so retailers could understand consumer behavior and make faster decisions.

Sky IT implemented the Vertica Analytics Platform with QlikView in a cloud environment, adopting a per-client “vertical” data model that accelerated processing without changing the SKYPAD UI. The solution delivered near-real-time sales visibility and improved inventory allocation, driving a 28% average client revenue increase, a 70% reduction in data-load time, a 90% cut in disk storage, much faster queries, fewer markdowns, and stronger supplier collaboration.
