[Case Study]: Bond Brand Loyalty Engages CRGroup For Data Centralization & Power BI Reporting
Bond Brand Loyalty integrates data from disparate sources in a data warehouse and uses Microsoft Power BI to increase pipeline and project delivery efficiency and effectiveness.
Overview
Bond Brand Loyalty, a marketing agency, wanted an Integrated Decision-Making Platform (IDMP) to get continuous insights across its entire client project journey, from bidding to project delivery, to billing.
