Leading Retail Enterprise Builds a
Customer 360 Platform Using Databricks
Client Overview
A global retail enterprise serving millions of customers across multiple regions operated through a complex ecosystem of CRM platforms, eCommerce applications, loyalty programs, point-of-sale systems, marketing platforms, and customer support solutions.
As the business expanded across markets and business units, customer information became increasingly fragmented across systems. Multiple versions of customer records existed across departments, limiting visibility, impacting reporting accuracy, and making it difficult to deliver personalized customer experiences at scale.
Business Objective
The organization wanted to establish a modern Customer 360 platform to unify customer information across multiple enterprise systems into a single trusted source of truth.
The objective was to improve customer visibility, eliminate duplicate records, enable real-time insights, strengthen data governance, and build a scalable data foundation to support advanced analytics and future AI initiatives.

Challenges
Fragmented Customer Data Across Business Systems
Customer information was spread across CRM, eCommerce, loyalty, marketing, customer service, and point-of-sale systems. Each platform maintained its own version of customer records, making it difficult to establish a complete view of customer interactions and behaviors.
Duplicate Customer Records and Data Quality Issues
Customers frequently existed across multiple systems under different identifiers, contact details, and account records. This resulted in duplicate customer profiles, inconsistent reporting, and reduced confidence in business insights.
Limited Visibility into Customer Behavior
Customer interactions were processed independently across operational systems, preventing business teams from accessing timely and complete customer insights needed for engagement, personalization, and decision-making.
Lack of Historical Customer Intelligence
The existing architecture primarily focused on current customer data and lacked the ability to track historical profile changes, limiting the organization's ability to analyze customer trends and long-term behavior patterns.
Scalability Constraints for Analytics
As customer volumes and digital interactions increased, the legacy reporting environment struggled to support growing analytics requirements and future data-driven initiatives.
Disconnected customer data can limit personalization, reporting accuracy, and AI initiatives. We can help you design and implement modern Customer 360 platforms that unify customer information, improve data quality, and enable real-time analytics across the enterprise.
