EdgePreso: Revolutionising data insights for a major supermarket
19 Jan 2024
In the dynamic realm of data analytics, EdgeRed proudly introduces EdgePreso, a groundbreaking solution engineered to tackle the prevalent challenges faced by data analysts: the time-consuming and repetitive process of manual report generation.
1. Context and Background
Picture this scenario: analysts supporting diverse business units, tasked with producing a myriad of reports to distill insights from complex data sets. This not only proves to be a repetitive and mundane activity but also becomes a substantial roadblock to dedicating quality time to interpreting data and making insightful decisions.
This is the problem our client is currently facing. Preparing a single report takes days, breeding frustration and inefficiency. Adding to that, high risk of manual human error.
2. The EdgePreso Advantage
User-friendly Interface
Enter EdgePreso – a user-friendly interface where analysts effortlessly input parameters, triggering the magic that automates Google Slide or PowerPoint creation with dynamic charts and tables.

Rebalancing an Analyst’s Role
EdgePreso isn’t just an automation tool; it’s a game-changer in reshaping the analyst’s role. By streamlining the tedious tasks, it liberates analysts to concentrate on what truly matters – interpreting trends and offering actionable insights. Say goodbye to the days of laborious manual data extraction and presentation crafting.
Direct Data Integration
To keep insights fresh, EdgePreso seamlessly connects to the data source such as Google BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake or Excel. This integration ensures that analysts utilises the latest data without the fuss of constant manual updates.
3. Approach
Beginning with an understanding of our client’s data architecture and business processes, we tailored a version of our EdgePreso tool to seamlessly integrate with their existing ecosystem. This customised solution was not just about managing large datasets but also about transforming them into actionable insights, with over 800 packs and more than 200 slides, created to cater to a variety of data cuts and business queries.
Our team was deeply involved in an iterative process of development, working in close collaboration with our client stakeholders. This ensured that the slide packs we produced were not only informative but also intuitive, allowing for easy digestion and decision-making. This evolution was marked by a commitment to enhance user experience and the introduction of ‘smart’ automated insights with the use of Gen AI and advanced LLM techniques.
4. Business Outcome & Client Testimonial
The impact of EdgePreso resonates through the corridors of our supermarket client, where four distinct business units seamlessly embraced the tool into their workflows. This retail giant astoundingly ran 500 reports, translating into a staggering 72,000 slides, over the past 12 months.
A Senior Strategy Manager shared insights, noting:
“EdgePreso frees up time for us to dive into the analysis. It slashes weeks of effort previously spent on pulling and presenting information, ensuring a concise, consistent, and visually appealing outcome. The automation not only saves time but significantly enhances quality and accuracy.”
