Data-driven company
Being a data-driven company means using modern data technologies, such as big data and small data, to solve traditional problems. In other words, the management of a data-driven company does not deal with problems intuitively or based on their experiences (guesswork).

And the good news is that, today, new data technologies are increasingly accessible and uncomplicated .

How Essential Nutrition became a data driven company
Essential Nutrition is a food supplement company that has been growing and becoming a global reference in this market. Being a data driven company was an obvious necessity, precisely because of the staggered increase in information generated every day with the rapid increase in demand.
Faced with this challenge, Essential turned to the Indicium team to be able to “better organize the house” in terms of data, after all, it is very easy to get lost in the midst of so much information, and this is a great risk for the future of an organization.
This was Essential's first step towards starting its successful Data Driven-Journey.
Then, in order to orchestrate this growth, our data team began the first stage: the discovery phase . We carry out an in-depth analysis of the company's processes until we obtain an x-ray (step two) and are able to form a business diagnosis (third step).
With this in hand, it was possible to develop a personalized data strategy (fourth step). This primarily involved implementing a data warehouse to organize all of the company's data.
With everything available to provide easy access to data within a DW, and aiming to further facilitate the control and optimization of everything that teams need to manage on a daily basis, we developed a complete web app accessible from any device by several people users.
Discover some of the benefits of this data-driven transformation, which were many!
The planning process previously involved many people and took more than a week. Now, just one person alone can do this job in a few minutes and a few clicks.
Finally, with our partnership, the company reached the third stage in its Data-Driven Journey , and we continued to work together on its culture, involving people and reviewing its processes to advance even further.
