Case Study: Casting Networks achieves real-time reporting and saves 40 man-hours per week with Sisense

Casting Networks Sees Eight-Hour Reports Turn to Real-Time

Casting Networks, a technology provider for the entertainment casting industry handling more than 160,000 projects a year, was collecting over a billion rows of data from dozens of sources (Google Drive, multiple QuickBooks files and 35 SQL databases) but had no easy way to view or analyze it. Reporting required one-off queries run by IT, was slow and error-prone, and left sales and business development teams tracking KPIs manually—so CEO Glen Ward tasked Senior Business Analyst Nitika Singh with finding a BI solution.

They implemented Sisense, using web-based dashboards and an Elasticube to combine disparate data sources without custom code. The platform delivers real-time, 360° visibility into KPIs—turning 6–8 hour weekly reports into on-demand dashboards—saving about 40 man-hours per week, improving sales visibility into bookings and agent activity, and enabling faster, more accurate strategic and market decisions.
