When smaller companies try to capitalize on the promise of data and analytics, they face some key challenges. They often confront resource constraints and lack the necessary in-house expertise to manage and interpret data. They may also have the inability to centralize data in one location with appropriate tools and system.

On the enterprise side, organizations can struggle with responding to internal demand — trying to service multiple stakeholders (making hundreds of requests per day) with consistently-defined and accurate data. So how do you transition from an organization urgently putting out data fires to cultivating a user experience that gives users data at their fingertips at any given time?

EAT Club spent a lot of time solving these very issues, and in tomorrow’s webinar, they’ll share impressive results, and how they got them. The innovative online catering disrupter now uses analytics in every part of their organization — enabling them to anticipate customers’ needs, manage inventory, keep operational partners happy, and predict with surprising precision customer response to marketing promotions.

EAT Club will be joined by its data analytics partner Looker, who will talk about the kinds of systems that can be put into place to facilitate data work flow and empower users to turn data into actionable insights that lead to growth.

What you’ll learn:

• How to ensure efficient operational forecasting for production
• How to cover purchasing patterns and adjust product assortment based on customer preferences
• How to optimize customer experience by quickly understanding behavior through self service analytics
