Global consumer goods leader transformed its Easter operation with a unified Data Hub

Decision speed as a differentiator in seasonal dates

In high-volume, strongly seasonal markets such as chocolates and confectionery, decisions must keep pace with the consumer. Sales performance changes daily, and the ability to adjust strategies quickly determines significant gains in margin and market share.

The company faced a common obstacle in large field operations: data distributed across multiple channels — photos, emails, portals, and manual reports. With a presence in hundreds of supermarkets, the lack of integration slowed analyses and increased the risk of imprecise decisions precisely during the most critical period of the year.

The challenge: consolidate data and act on the same day

The commercial team depended on solid information to adjust prices, supply, and in-store display. However, data fragmentation generated rework, delays, and low visibility into what was happening at store level.

The company needed to centralize information, validate integrity, reduce processing time, and deliver actionable intelligence quickly — all in the middle of the Easter operation, where every hour influences the final performance.

The solution: a single Data Hub with automation and integrated intelligence

To meet the challenge, a Data Hub was created capable of consolidating all information sources in a single environment. The solution connected field data, automations, and intelligent validations to ensure precision and speed.

The implementation included:

• Unified Data Hub, consolidating information from 236 supermarkets;
• RPA + ETL, ensuring automated ingestion and standardized data processing;
• Integrity validation, eliminating duplicates and ensuring reliability;
• Same-day dashboards, providing instant performance visibility.

The operation gained fluidity, predictability, and the ability to react immediately to market movements.

The impact: doubled performance and intelligence for critical decisions

The transformation resulted in one of the company's most efficient Easter cycles, with direct gains in profitability and analytical maturity. Key results include:

• Twice the profit compared to the previous year;
• More accurate decisions, based on up-to-date and reliable data;
• High operational efficiency, with elimination of rework and manual processes.

The solution allowed the company to lead the seasonal period with data mastery and strategic agility — an essential differentiator in one of the country's most relevant consumer events.
