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.
- 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.
- To address the data management challenges of the client, PROLIM Digital AI deployed a Snowflake-powered solution using the Data Load Framework. Leveraging this framework, disparate data sources across regions—including NetSuite, Sage, IFS, FAAS, and custom applications—were unified to create a single source of truth for operational, financial, and regional analytics. This also enabled a 360-degree customer view and streamlined the client’s seafood supply chain.
- PROLIM Digital AI’s Snowflake-certified experts eliminated these challenges within just four months. Additional key implementations included:
- Centralized Data Integration
Using the proprietary Data Load Framework, data from multiple systems and flat files was successfully extracted and loaded into Snowflake. This included both historical and incremental data across global operations. - Standardized Data Foundation
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
Implemented a multi-layered data architecture, organizing raw, refined, and business-ready data. This made it easier to access, understand, and utilize information from various systems. - MIS Reporting Enablement
Developed 25 key MIS reports in Tableau, covering sales, inventory, operations, and region-wise performance. These reports enabled dynamic, cross-functional insights for leadership teams. - Secure Access and Governance
Configured role-based access control in Snowflake to ensure users could only access data relevant to their roles and regions. Established governance and monitoring processes to support compliance and long-term sustainability.
- PROLIM Digital AI’s experts helped the client successfully transition from a fragmented ecosystem to a centralized, real-time, governed, and unified platform. Key benefits achieved include:
- Improved data transparency and traceability: Teams can now clearly understand and validate master and transaction tables, enabling better decision-making and faster issue resolution.
