Business Intelligence Solution for Seamless Collaboration in USA’s Tech Provider Operations

About Client

Leading U.S. tech provider focused on data management for large-scale transit and transportation agencies.
The company serves over a million riders monthly and manages fleets of 500+ vehicles.
They offer solutions such as real-time performance dashboards, MaaS platforms, and traveler information systems to improve operations and commuter experiences across the state.

Problem STATEMENT

The company struggled with data management due to multiple, disconnected systems. Their main issues were:

No Unified Performance Tracking
Financial and operational data were spread across systems, making it hard to measure KPIs and track overall progress.
Manual Reporting and Communication Gaps
Dependence on manual reporting caused delays, inconsistent formats, and limited access to important data for teams and stakeholders.

Solution

To tackle these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive Business Intelligence Solution designed to unify and streamline the client’s data flow and reporting. Here’s what we did:

Centralized Data Warehouse
We set up a single data warehouse using Redshift to bring together fragmented data from various sources, including real-time operational metrics and financial reports. This gave the client a one-stop location to access their most crucial data.
Automated Data Flow for Access
We created an automated ETL process using Airflow, which handles data cleaning and transformation in the background. Now, data updates happen almost instantly, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual processing and ensuring fresh data is always available.
Tailored Data Views
We developed custom tables in SQL and visual dashboards in Tableau to make performance data easy to access and interpret for different teams. The client can now quickly track KPIs, financial trends, and operational metrics from a single, intuitive interface.
Proactive Error Monitoring
We added monitoring features in Airflow to catch any issues in data processing. When errors pop up, automatic email alerts notify the team immediately, helping them address issues fast and keep the data flow steady.

Technical Architecture
