SOLUTION
In order to understand the challenges and business questions faced by the diverse stakeholders, numerous expert interviews were conducted. Having the most relevant business questions for Miele and for the industry in mind, TD Reply was able to connect the dots by developing a holistic KPIs set common to all 47 markets. In doing so, TD Reply could fill in the blanks between the data sources and drill down the amount of necessary data to the most important ones, facilitating the whole data collection.
Using Miele´s internal data and leveraging the powerful alliance of social listening, web analytics, search engines and data science via direct source connections, TD Reply could give context to the smart data to derive BIG insights.
