Challenge

Custom research studies were slow and expensive, which capped how far the business could scale and left small and medium clients out of reach. A syndicated brand tracking product had to reach MVP under a strict time-to-market constraint.

Solution

A platform on Azure PaaS built to Lakehouse and Medallion patterns: incremental ingestion, AI-based analytics and web access for clients. Self-service by design, and extendable to new data sources and markets without a rebuild.

Implementation

  • 01Batch and incremental ingestion from APIs, RDBMS and files
  • 02Brand equity algorithms and AI trend analysis integrated
  • 03Microservices-based web UI with fast charts and subscription models
  • 04NoSQL storage for read-optimized analytical output
  • 05Self-service BI access and data exploration tools
  • 06Secure SDLC with automated infrastructure and DataOps

Business impact

MVP delivered and clients onboarded within 6 months

A scalable post-MVP product, extended with new data sources and methods

Growth in client base and markets without performance loss
