Marston’s had developed a comprehensive management reporting suite, with data ingested from various sources across the business. However, they needed to define and demonstrate the next phase of their data journey. After a competitive selection process, they chose Arreoblue to assist them in examining forecasting, AI, and leveraging Microsoft’s Fabric data capabilities.
Arreoblue employed its delivery framework “Assess, Accelerate, Amplify” to support Marston’s in their requirements.
Arreoblue conducted a rapid review of Marston’s current data capabilities and opportunities. The value-led work plan identified opportunities to reduce business costs and create new revenue streams. This process revealed the potential for integrating Co-Pilot-enabled reports in Power BI and leveraging data science methodologies to unlock actionable insights.
Building upon the assessment findings, Marston’s, guided by Jason Conway, BI Manager, initiated a project in collaboration with Arreoblue. This phase focused on constructing a demonstration system to showcase the envisioned data capabilities. With support from Microsoft and endorsement of the new Data Fabric solution, Marston’s accelerated its journey towards data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency.
The final phase, which is about to begin, will involve expanding the implementation of the demonstrated capabilities across Marston’s operations. Arreoblue will provide ongoing support and training to ensure that the Marston’s team can fully leverage the new tools and insights to enhance their data journey.
Arreoblue’s collaboration with Marston’s has yielded promising outcomes, demonstrating the tangible impact of enhanced data utilisation on the company’s operations and strategic objectives. The demonstrator developed during the project highlighted the transformative potential of the new data capabilities. Implementing Power BI Co-Pilot has provided Marston’s finance managers with valuable data analysis and reporting support, freeing them up to concentrate on value-added activities. By embracing cutting-edge technologies and innovative data solutions, Marston’s is poised to unlock new growth opportunities, drive guest satisfaction, and elevate its position in the brewing and hospitality industries. As Marston’s continues its journey towards data excellence, Arreoblue remains committed to supporting its objectives and delivering measurable outcomes.
