Becoming data-driven
In less than six months, PrestaShop managed to get the entire data stack up and running, build over 30 data models and engage over 120 employees with a small team of only two Data Engineers.
“Data is now accessible to every stakeholder within the company, regardless of their technical abilities,” says Paulin.
PrestaShop has already seen much progress in its shift to a more data-driven company and is excited to roll out more self-service intelligence capabilities in the future.
“Google Cloud drives home a culture of simplicity around our data stack, which is essential for us, especially given the small size of our engineering team,” says Paulin. “Fivetran and Hightouch share this culture of simplicity. Together, they offer strong foundations to support our data needs.”
Dashboards, which the company had always had an appetite for, are seamlessly created today. Before moving to Looker, a full-fledged dashboard would take an average of six weeks to develop. Now, it takes less than two days – and a simple dashboard can be created autonomously by business users in as little as 15 minutes.
Furthermore, data usage goes beyond dashboards. Thanks to Looker’s self-service exploration capabilities, many stakeholders can now glean insights surrounding product issues and business opportunities. Thanks to Hightouch, teams can activate their data to make better and smarter operational decisions.
“This is a big leap forward and one of many to come as we continue to add new models, activate our data, and onboard more users,” says Paulin. “Given our global reach and unique approach to e-commerce enablement, we know this is just the start of the great things we can accomplish with Google Cloud, Fivetran, and Hightouch.”
