Personalisation at Scale

Right Arrow

We partnered with a leading Australian retailer to modernise their data and AI capabilities, addressing fragmented customer insights, inefficient supply chains, and outdated digital platforms.

By establishing an enterprise-grade data platform and embedding Generative AI across the value chain, we enabled hyper-personalised customer experiences, operational agility, and measurable cost efficiencies.

Modernised retail operations—achieving 30% cost savings while delivering hyper-personalised customer experiences and supply chain resilience with GenAI and data-driven insights.

The Challenge

The organisation operates under a highly autonomous, federated model with six diverse business units—ranging from engineer-to-order and process manufacturing to services and maintenance.

Business Challenges

  • Fragmented Customer Insights: Disconnected loyalty programs and siloed data made it difficult to understand the customer journey.
  • Operational Inefficiencies: Rising costs in logistics, store operations, and workforce management reduced profitability.
  • Intense Market Competition: Pressures from global e-commerce players and shifting customer expectations strained traditional retail models.
  • Inventory & Supply Chain Gaps: Stockouts, overstocks, and poor demand forecasting impacted revenue and customer satisfaction.

IT Challenges

  • Legacy Systems: Outdated POS, ERP, and CRM systems hindered scalability and integration.
  • Multiple BI Tools: Fragmented analytics platforms prevented a single source of truth for decision-making.
  • Data Silos: Customer, supply chain, and sales data were stored in isolated systems across Oracle, SAP, and Salesforce.
  • Limited AI Adoption: No enterprise strategy for leveraging AI, particularly in customer engagement, pricing optimisation, and demand forecasting.

Our Approach

  • Data Platform as a Service (DPaaS): Consolidated siloed data into a scalable, cloud-based data lakehouse, enabling real-time insights and advanced analytics.
  • Decision Science as a Service (DSaaS): Applied predictive analytics for demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, and optimised inventory management.
  • GenAI Services:
    • Hyper-personalised marketing campaigns with GenAI-driven recommendations.
    • AI-powered chatbots for customer service and post-sales engagement.
    • Generative AI solutions for supply chain planning, workforce rostering, and vendor negotiations.

  • Enterprise Architecture Uplift: Defined future-ready architecture and governance, ensuring alignment with retail business strategy.
