Enabling Musgrave to meet its digital transformation goals

DOWNLOAD

Musgrave is Ireland’s market leading food retail, wholesale, and food service company. 

They came to us with a clear challenge: they wanted to implement a data strategy which outlined explicit deliverables that would result in a tangible impact on the company’s bottom-line earnings and better service to their customers. Additionally, their overarching goal is to instil a data-first culture which requires data democratisation throughout its workforce. We worked collaboratively with key members of the Musgrave executive team to design a comprehensive strategy with distinct initiatives and action plans that would be required to deliver the key objectives.

What our customers say:

“We found Idiro very good to work with on the development of our data strategy.  They shared their expertise and brought fresh eyes and good challenge to us, all the time working very collaboratively with the team.”

Mobile phone operators know better than anyone else that social influence is a huge factor when consumers decide what to buy. Social influence/Viral Marketing is impossible to control, but what we discovered is that if we can understand how information spreads in a network, we can target customers in the right way, increasing NPS, without disrupting brand or relationships. Our targeting delivered a 230% increase in campaign success at a major European telecommunications provider. Find out how.

The Pensions authority: Data audit

Idiro were engaged by The Pensions Authority to carry out a range of analytics, reporting and data auditing functions.
The outset of the project required an overall exploration and auditing of the data currently held within The Pension Authority’s data warehouse to identify anomalies, inconsistencies or duplication. From there, specific areas of focus were identified for further analysis, updating of existing reporting processes and development of new reports.

Exploring a wealth of data

The Pensions Authority holds many years of data on trends in citizens’ retirement ages, contributions and payments

Ensuring data quality and reliable analysis

This project brought clarity and the ability to improve services for people and planning for regulatory procedures

Data analytics for government services

The Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation (DBEI) required a forecast model to identify the staffing levels that would be required in the childcare and early childhood education sector, year on year to 2030.

35 days

This project was an urgent requirement, and was turned around extremely quickly.

Sophisticated forecast capability Achieved

Ireland’s government can now accurately estimate the needs for childcare and education and take into account trends that arise on an ongoing basis.

We coordinated across multiple stakeholders from DBEI as well as the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, the Department of Education, the Central Statistics Office and the Economic and the Economic and Social Research Institute. The core factors that needed to be considered in calculating the future needs of the sector were:

  • Current Demand & Supply
  • Forecasted population change
  • Changes in level of education or training required by staff
  • Changes in Staff:Child ratios

Data came from the various government departments and organisations to feed into a comprehensive calculation on future demand. Our expert analysts were onto the data immediately. There were significant challenges in the data availability, format and completeness,  and we called on extensive expert advice from stakeholders to correctly mitigate problems and appropriately apply assumptions.

Output

Idiro delivered a thorough report on the factors that will affect the sector and staffing levels over the years of interest. A required deliverable was also an Excel based calculator that would allow for various conditions to be adjusted and updated forecasts created. We also delivered data visualisation showing the change in demand over time given the set of conditions specified.

The Catholic Primary Schools Management Association (CPSMA) provides advice and support for Chairpersons and Principals of Boards of Management in over 2,800 schools. It collaborates with other management bodies and negotiates on behalf of these schools with the Department of Education and Skills and other education partners. They decided to seek Idiro’s expertise in customer data analysis.

Analysis of a large volume of call records

Data analysed:

  • School location
  • Gender of pupils (All boys, All girls, mixed)
  • School size
  • Deis or Non-Deis
  • Gaelscoil or English
  • 5 years worth of data

Our project was to discover the core drivers of contact the organisation receives and identify any insights that would help to better manage and inform their members and thus reduce the volumes of calls received. To do this, we examined records of calls over a five-year period – approximately 35,000 calls. Summary notes and details of each call (date, time, duration, etc.) were stored in a Microsoft Access database. Idiro took an extract from the database and performed an in-depth data analysis.

Trends and comparisons were made under a variety of headings:

  • School location
  • Gender of pupils (All boys, All Girls, Mixed)
  • School size
  • Deis or Non-Deis
  • Gaelscoil or English
  • Year on year

Output

Idiro conducted customer data analysis and delivered a comprehensive report highlighting key findings in relation to reasons for contact and giving solutions to reduce contact volumes within certain categories. An interactive dashboard was also delivered providing the ability to drill into the detail of the analysis and examine data right down to the individual school level.
