Case Study: Online Commerce Group achieves fast, scalable big-data analytics and real-time reporting with Sisense

Sisense chosen to manage analytics challenges for custom furnishings and e-commerce

Online Commerce Group, a Montgomery, AL e‑commerce firm founded in 2004 that operates over 50 retail websites for custom indoor and outdoor furnishings, outgrew its reporting capabilities as data volumes and sources ballooned. Manual reports and a popular but overly complex BI tool were too slow, strained transactional servers, and couldn’t deliver the frequent, large-scale insights managers needed—prompting a search for a Big Data analytics solution that could quickly analyze diverse datasets, enable drag‑and‑drop dashboards, auto-publish reports, and require minimal investment and training.

The company adopted Sisense, which let the team import data models without scripting, build dashboards in minutes, and run large queries (hundreds of gigabytes) on standard hardware from day one. Reports are automatically published to the intranet without impacting production systems, managers can export to Excel or interact with richer, cleaner datasets, and visibility into integrated data has improved product and marketing decisions—delivering faster reporting, scalable analytics, and clearer business insights.
