Transformed AML Foods with a Scalable Data Warehouse Solution
AML Foods, a leading retail and food services provider in the Bahamas, needed a modern, high-performance data warehouse to enhance analytics and business intelligence. With data stored in a highly normalized, in-house Sybase database, AML Foods aimed to move beyond its existing ZAP BI platform to unlock advanced analytics capabilities, including Recency, Frequency, and Monetary (RFM) analysis, market basket insights, and customer behavior tracking.
The Challenges in Data Scalability & Analytics
- Limited Scalability: The in-house Sybase database struggled to process large data volumes in real time.
- Lack of Advanced Analytics: Existing tools could not support RFM analysis, market basket modeling, or customer insights.
- Manual & Inefficient Data Pipelines: The absence of an automated ELT process made data synchronization slow and unreliable.
