Case Study: EREA Consulting achieves 10x faster reporting and scalable billion-row analytics with Sisense

Using Big Data Analytics to Produce Value in the Retail Industry

EREA is a Latin American management consulting firm that helps retailers and manufacturers improve sales, supplier negotiations, store operations and category management. Faced with explosive data growth (100% year-over-year) and clients still relying on Excel for billion-row datasets, EREA needed a scalable analytics solution that would let its data scientists and non-technical consultants rapidly turn massive, disparate data into actionable insights.

EREA implemented Sisense for its ability to handle billion-row datasets, seamless R integration, embedded analytics and flexible customization. The result: data discovery times fell from three months to three weeks, report development became 10× faster (saving thousands of hours), EREA scaled from supporting five large clients to dozens, and company growth accelerated from ~30% to 100% within months while delivering real-time “what-if” dashboards that uncover client cost savings.
