Client Background
As a globally recognized leader in ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances, and home accessories, this European retailer operates with a strong presence across international markets.
Client Need
Despite having access to vast amounts of customer data ranging from website clickstream analytics and social media interactions to in-store transactions, the company faced several challenges, including:
Data Fragmentation: Information was scattered across numerous platforms such as relational databases, brick-and-mortar sales records, and different social media channels
Scalability Issues: Their existing system couldn’t efficiently manage or process the increasing volume of data
Limited Data Utilization: Without a unified data strategy, it was difficult to gain meaningful insights and personalize customer engagement
Solution
Our team designed and implemented cost-effective, high-performance data architecture to streamline data processing, storage, and analysis, including:
Data Lake Integration: A data lake built on the Hadoop cluster enables consumption across multiple applications
Data Lake Security & Access Control: Kerberos authentication secures data while Apache Ranger establishes comprehensive authorization rules to manage user access and auditing
Multi-Format Data Processing: The Hortonworks Data Platform 2.4 pulls and stores data in HDFS as ORC files from semi-structured, unstructured, and relational formats
Low-Cost, High-Availability Storage: Storage solutions built on a Hadoop environment ensure cost-effectiveness and high availability
Real-Time Analytics Data Pipeline: A real-time data pipeline incorporates Oozie, Pig, Hive, and Python for data cleaning, storage, and notifications
