The challenge

The client’s data was spread across multiple systems (e-commerce, POS, supply chain, and finance), making it difficult to get a unified view of the business. Reports were inconsistent across teams, data pipelines were slow and unreliable, and decision-making was delayed due to lack of real-time visibility.

What Everest delivered

The engagement included data architecture design, pipeline development, data governance setup, and BI enablement, delivered by a team of 26 data engineers, analysts, and architects over a structured rollout.
