When legacy systems stall retail intelligence
A global fashion brand was growing fast—but its data systems weren’t keeping pace.
Teradata-based ETL pipelines slowed down real-time reporting. Metadata was scattered. Governance felt like guesswork. Integration with BI tools was patchy at best.
The retailer needed a solution that could process fast, scale effortlessly, and adapt to evolving business demands.
That’s when they embraced a modern lakehouse architecture with Netscribes.
From outdated to future-ready
We built a modern lakehouse architecture on Azure Databricks—designed for speed, simplicity, and scalability.
Our medallion layer approach (Landing > Bronze > Silver > Gold) ensured clean, traceable data progression. Delta Live Tables replaced legacy ETL with real-time pipelines. Unity Catalog brought centralized governance and seamless access control.
With CI/CD pipelines and cluster tuning in place, performance became a strength—not a struggle.
What changed with a modern lakehouse architecture
- Real-time ingestion and transformation streamlined decision-making
- Governance was centralized and simplified across users and systems
- BI integration became smooth, consistent, and scalable
- Operational costs dropped as infrastructure got leaner
The retailer now runs on data that’s fast, trusted, and ready for growth.
Why this worked
The transformation wasn’t just technical—it was strategic:
- A modern lakehouse architecture enabled real-time analytics at scale
- Delta Live Tables automated ETL for faster, cleaner data flows
- Unity Catalog centralized metadata and permissions
- Medallion layers created structure without sacrificing agility
Every step was designed to help the client build a data foundation that grows with the business.
