The challenge
Upright wanted a centralized and user-friendly platform to analyze their business's performance. However, data spread across multiple sources, business units, and teams made it difficult to get a holistic view. To make matters worse, Upright didn’t have the bandwidth to create dashboards and the underlying data pipelines within the tight timelines set by the leadership.
The 5X solution
5X delivered a turn-key solution: Easy-to-use analytics dashboards that provided a holistic overview of Upright’s lending & borrowing business.
With zero bandwidth crunch on Upright’s team, 5X data engineers executed the project in 3 steps:
Current state analysis - Thorough analysis of their existing data infrastructure & immediate requirements.
Data platform build - They leveraged 5X’s data platform to power the analytics engine. Automated pipelines cleaned and integrated data from disparate sources.
Data adoption - 5X analysts empowered Upright’s business users to analyze data, leverage dashboards, and unlock valuable insights.
“5X’s data platform provided the capabilities we needed out-of-the-box. No resources or time wasted in stitching a platform together with multiple vendors.”
