Case Study: Pianoforte Group achieves real-time retail insights and greater agility with Oracle Cloud

Pianoforte gains real-time insights with Oracle Cloud

Pianoforte Group, the retail fashion group behind brands like Yamamay and Carpisa, needed faster, more accurate decision-making across stores, headquarters, and its supply chain. Its legacy on-premises data warehouse and outdated BI tools caused slow, inconsistent data and made it difficult to analyze sales, stock, promotions, and store profitability in real time. Pianoforte chose Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to support 24/7 operations and reduce IT overhead.

Oracle implemented Oracle Analytics Cloud with Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse to unify data from ERP, POS, and other sources, giving teams real-time access to insights across 1,300+ stores. The results included a 30%+ boost in analytics performance, report generation time cut from 5 seconds to 2, and support for more than 2 million queries per year. Oracle also helped Pianoforte reduce ETL work, maintenance, hardware costs, and improve reliability and security.
