Case Study: Sky IT Group achieves 28% client revenue increase with Vertica Analytics Platform

Vertica delivers faster insights into consumer sales trends, resulting in 28 percent revenue increases for Sky IT Group clients

Sky IT Group, developer of the SKYPAD web-based reporting suite used by more than 50 global fashion brands, faced scaling challenges as data variety, velocity, and volume grew. Managing each client separately made it difficult to deliver timely, high-performance analytics and actionable insights into consumer behavior for merchandising, planning, and sales teams.

By moving SKYPAD to the Vertica Analytics Platform (with QlikView) in a cloud environment and treating data vertically by client, Sky IT dramatically improved performance while keeping the same UI. The change produced big efficiency gains—70% faster data-load times, 90% less disk storage, much faster queries—and delivered better inventory allocation and decision-making that clients say increased revenue by an average of 28%.
