CLIENT CHALLENGE
The owner of a prominent restaurant and entertainment group faced challenges in managing their business. They were overwhelmed with the task of compiling reports from various sources, including QuickBooks, restaurant point-of-sale (POS) systems, and Excel spreadsheets. These reports, essential for assessing the financial health of the business, evaluating employee performance, and preparing for investor meetings, were time-consuming and prone to errors.
OUR SOLUTION
Bear Cognition developed a custom Unified Reporting System solution to streamline the report compilation process for the client. The solution incorporated the following key components:
-
Seamless Data Integration:  Our DISC System (Data Integration, Storage, and Curation) integrated data from multiple sources - QuickBooks, restaurant POS systems, and Excel spreadsheets - into a unified warehouse eliminating data silos.
-
Automated Data Aggregation: Professionals in the Data Lab built custom API pipelines and RPAs (Robotic Process Automation) automating the data collection and transformation processes.
-
AI/ML-Driven Error Reduction:  AI/ML algorithms were implemented to detect and correct errors in the data aggregation process, ensuring more accurate and reliable reports.
-
User-Friendly Interface:   A tailored, user-friendly interface was developed through Perceptivity to facilitate easy access to and interaction with the compiled reports.
RESULTS
The implementation of Bear Cognition's Unified Reporting System resulted in improvements for the restaurant and entertainment group owner. The time spent on manual report compilation was reduced, allowing for more efficient operations and timely access to critical data. The advanced AI/ML-driven error reduction contributed to an increase in data accuracy, ensuring reliable reports for financial oversight and investor relations. Additionally, Bear Cognition successfully merged data from financial software, POS systems, and spreadsheets into a single, cohesive interface within Perceptivity, streamlining the reporting process and enhancing user experience.
