About the Client
Our client is a tech-enabled B2B marketplace that specializes in sourcing and distributing seafood and other animal proteins through a farm-to-retail model. Our client connects producers directly with businesses across 30+ global markets, leveraging technology to ensure transparency, quality, and efficiency in the supply chain. With a strong presence in regions like the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, our client is rapidly streamlining protein access while empowering suppliers and ensuring sustainability across the supply chain. They wanted a better and optimized supply chain with a 360 degree customer view, inventory, and financial data.
Business Challenges Faced by The Client
As our client acquired different companies from France and Poland, they faced challenges in gaining a 360 degree customer view, inventory and financial data. The team largely depended on report outputs as references but lacked proper documentation detailing the underlying data structures. This created uncertainty around which tables were being used, and whether they represented master data, transactional data, or a combination of both. As a result, data mapping efforts were prone to inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
Another significant challenge was the absence of report-level definitions in the available Sage documentation. Although our client had access to the system technical documentation, it failed to capture the structure, dependencies, and logic behind specific reports. This made it difficult for business and technical teams to trace how reports were built, which tables and fields they pulled from, and how the data was transformed. This lack of transparency not only slowed down reporting efforts but also made it harder to validate insights and ensure consistency across the board.
Our client wanted a well-structured, scalable, and centralized data foundation, one that could streamline reporting, improve data visibility, and support cross-functional analytics across global operations.
Kasmo’s Solutions
To address the data management challenges of our client, we deployed our Snowflake-powered solution: Data Load Framework. Leveraging this framework, we unified disparate data sources across regions, including NetSuite, Sage, IFS, FAAS, and custom applications, and created a single source of truth for operational, financial, and regional analytics. We also helped them get a 360 degree customer view and helped them streamline their seafood supply chain.
Our Snowflake-certified experts at Kasmo were able to eliminate challenges in just four months. Here are some more ways we helped our client overcome their business challenges:
Centralized Data Integration
Using Kasmo’s proprietary Data Load Framework, our experts extracted and loaded data from multiple systems and flat files into the unified platform of Snowflake successfully. This included both historical and incremental data across global operations.
Standardized Data Foundation
Kasmo standardized currencies and languages, built a harmonized data model, and developed over 50 transformation jobs to ensure consistent and accurate reporting across regions.
Structured Reporting Layers
A multi-layered data architecture was implemented, organizing raw, refined, and ready-to-use business data. This made it easier to access and understand information from various systems.
MIS Reporting Enablement
Kasmo developed 25 key MIS reports in Tableau, covering areas like sales, inventory, operations, and region-wise performance. These reports enabled dynamic, cross-functional insights for leadership teams.
Secure Access and Governance
Role-based access control was configured in Snowflake, ensuring that users only had access to data relevant to their region and responsibilities. Governance and monitoring processes were also set up to support compliance and sustainability.
Benefits Achieved by The Client
Our experts at Kasmo helped the client successfully transition from a fragmented ecosystem to a centralized, real-time, governed, and into a unified platform. These were some of the benefits achieved by the client:
- Improved data transparency and traceability: Teams can now clearly understand and validate master and transaction tables, enabling better decision-making and faster issue resolution.
