The Challenge

As Strand embarked on their data-driven voyage, they encountered formidable challenges that threatened to undermine their journey towards success. This resulted in incomplete datasets, skewed analytics, and misleading insights that could sometimes hinder decision-making.

Inaccurate data
The first challenge was inaccurate data. Despite their efforts, the data collected often failed to represent real-world scenarios accurately. This discrepancy led to skewed insights, casting doubt on the reliability of their decision-making processes.

Missing data layers across the user journey
Another obstacle was the presence of missing data layers throughout the user journey. These gaps disrupted the comprehensive understanding of user behaviour, from initial browsing to final purchase. Without a clear view of the journey, Strand risked making decisions based on incomplete information.

Lack of centralised data
Adding to the complexity was the need for centralised data. With information scattered across their infrastructure, Strand needed help to create a unified repository. This fragmentation made thorough analysis and reporting challenging, leaving them without a clear direction.

Client-side tracking only, missing order data
Tracking mechanisms solely reliant on user interactions within the web browser (client-side) led to instances where critical data, such as purchase information, was overlooked or incomplete.
