Optimized Databricks Implementation Drives Nationwide Growth for Pharmaceutical Distributor

To maximize the value of their existing Databricks platform, Analytics8 implemented several key optimizations:

• Automated data ingestion and transformation processes from a legacy mainframe system, reducing manual handling, increasing efficiency, and enabling consistent, accurate data models for enhanced Power BI reporting and analysis. This allowed for aggregate views that were previously difficult to achieve.
• Unified disparate data sources into a centralized platform, providing visibility into data that can enhance product profitability through accurate purchasing, pricing, and sales insights.
• Implemented Unity Catalog for comprehensive data lineage and metadata management to improve data understanding and trust, ensuring consistent and accurate data across the organization.
• Harmonized diverse data sets within Databricks to lay the foundation for machine learning and predicative analytics, enabling the company to accurately forecast changes in the pharmaceutical product market and customer demand.

Analytics8 continues to provide ongoing engineering support and expertise, enabling business users to handle complex data sets independently and engage both power users and analysts across the organization to better utilize data within the platform.
