Revenue analytics across 12 retail chains, refreshed hourly
global snack food company
Replaced a nightly Excel-and-SSIS revenue pack with a Databricks lakehouse serving trade-spend-adjusted net revenue to 400+ commercial users across LATAM and Middle East & South Africa.
Challenge
Sell-out data arrived from twelve retailers in twelve formats across LATAM and Middle East & South Africa. Finance and sales argued over net revenue every month, and the close took nine days.
What we built
- Landed retailer EPOS, distributor and SAP order feeds into ADLS Gen2 with Auto Loader and schema evolution.
- Built a medallion model in Delta Lake with a conformed product-and-customer hierarchy and Unity Catalog governance.
- Modelled gross-to-net: list price, trade promotions, rebates, returns and logistics deductions as auditable fact tables.
- Shipped a Power BI revenue cockpit with lineage back to source rows for finance sign-off.
