Success Story – Store Locators Sites

Key Business Challenges

The Organization was lagging in the capabilities to source the store locator’s details from multiple data sources with varying degrees of difficulty, geography, and data attributes. The critical challenge of the business was, as mentioned below,

• No central system of execution for data collection from various sources as the Client used multiple ready-to-use Scripts to scrape data from various websites.
• Unable to maintain the Scripts if the structure of any websites gets changed (Script ceases to function)
• Major Data quality issues were due to ready-to-use scripts not per the structure of the targeted websites.
• Unavailability of QA process to ensure correctness & completeness of location data
• Time-consuming data collection process to compile the data set from sources
• Poor management of all the data sources along with preparing them as per user need
• High Overhead Cost in terms of resource allocation
• Error-prone process due to multiple Human touches
