Company Overview
TOWA Data Systems is a prominent provider of point-of-sale (POS) software and hardware solutions tailored for retail and hospitality businesses. Established originally as S. A. Cash Register in 1972, the company has evolved significantly over the years to become a key player in the industry. TOWA specializes in cloud-based POS systems that streamline operations for various business types.
Challenges Faced
TOWA encountered several challenges with their existing analytics processes, which relied heavily on transactional systems.
Limited Analytical Insights: Hindered strategic decisions and forecasting.- Historical Intelligence: Difficult accessing data for trend analysis.
- Performance Limitations: Slow execution times for real-time analysis.
- Scalability: System faced difficulties with growing data and transactions.
Values Delivered
To address these challenges, Xenovex implemented a comprehensive solution that separated analytics from transactional systems by establishing a data warehouse with data marts. This approach provided several substantial benefits
Customizable Dashboards: Xenovex introduced PowerBI-based and Angular dashboards for TOWA, enabling What-If Analysis, Forecasting, and Budget & Planning. Tailored to TOWA's needs, these dashboards offer comprehensive data visualization for deeper insights and efficient KPI monitoring.
Historical Analysis: Accelerated access to historical intelligence and trend analysis allows TOWA to make proactive decisions and stay ahead of competitors.
Minimal Setup Time: Xenovex ensured swift deployment, allowing TOWA to derive immediate insights without disruptions.
Enhanced Performance: Scalable data warehouse and Talend-driven optimization enable real-time, context-specific analytics.
Scalability:PostgreSQL-based solution handles growing data volumes seamlessly, maintaining performance and reliability as TOWA expands.
Approach and technical info
Our team worked over six months on this project, providing the expertise of one BI/Analytics architect, two Talend/SQL experts, and one QA engineer to ensure the successful development and implementation of the solution.
Talend was used for ETL processes. PostgreSQL was utilized for Data Warehouse & Data Marts. Power BI, SSRS, and Angular based dashboards were employed for visualization
Summary
Through partnering with Xenovex, TOWA successfully overcame the challenges posed by their legacy analytics infrastructure, transitioning to a robust, scalable, and performance-driven solution. By leveraging advanced analytics capabilities, TOWA is now equipped to derive actionable insights, drive informed decision-making, and maintain a competitive edge in the dynamic POS industry landscape.
