Case Study: FatFace achieves a single, self-service data platform with Searchlight Consulting

FatFace unifies data across 200+ stores with Searchlight Consulting

FatFace, a high street retailer with over 200 stores and an online presence, faced the challenge of establishing a single view of its data to enable better-informed business decisions. They turned to Searchlight Consulting to help rationalize multiple data sources and reporting solutions and to move the business towards a self-service information management culture.

Searchlight Consulting implemented a Microsoft Azure Data Lake solution with Power BI as the reporting layer, creating a single data model. They automated data processes, delivered robust analytics capabilities, and provided user training. The results included enhanced data visibility, a secure modern architecture, and proactive alerting for data issues. Searchlight successfully established a single cloud-based data lake that removed legacy systems and provided a simplified platform for multiple business teams.
