Anomaly detection
Challenge
Weekly trading reports took two full days to assemble across eleven brands, leaving little time for analysis.
Solution
We consolidated data sources, automated the reporting pipeline and added anomaly alerting for the trading team.
Objectives
- Eliminate manual report assembly
- Surface trading anomalies within hours, not weeks
- Create a single version of commercial truth
Strategy
- Data audit across eleven brands and four platforms
- Common metric definitions agreed with finance
- Automation prioritised by hours saved per week
Execution
- Warehouse and pipeline build with automated validation
- Executive dashboards with drill-down by brand and channel
- AI-assisted anomaly detection with weekly written summaries
Results
Reporting time fell from sixteen hours a week to under one, and margin erosion is now identified within days.
