Unlocking real-time customer insights at scale for a large bank
12 August, 2025

The business challenge
The Large Bank faced significant challenges due to their inability to obtain near real-time customer insights at scale. Their existing systems were outdated and lacked the capability to process and analyse large volumes of customer data quickly and efficiently. This deficiency hindered the bank's ability to understand customer behaviour, preferences, and needs in a timely manner.
As a result, the bank struggled to personalise their services, respond to customer inquiries promptly, and make data-driven decisions that could enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. The fragmented data sources and the lack of integration between different systems further exacerbated the problem, leading to inefficiencies and delays in accessing critical customer information.
To address these challenges, the bank needed to modernise their data infrastructure, integrate disparate data sources, and implement advanced analytics capabilities that could provide real-time insights into customer interactions and trends.
The solution
To address the challenges faced by the large bank's Marketing department, we provided them with the capability to analyse all the bank's data on a daily basis. This involved implementing a robust data analytics platform that could handle vast amounts of data from various sources. The platform integrated data from multiple systems, including customer transactions, interactions, and feedback, into a centralised repository.
Advanced analytics tools were then applied to this data, enabling the Marketing department to uncover significant insights. These insights helped the department to better understand customer behaviour, preferences, and trends. By leveraging these insights, the Marketing team could create more targeted and effective marketing campaigns, ultimately enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction.

The business outcomes
By implementing the solution, the large bank is able to drive significant revenue growth, amounting to hundreds of millions of rands annually. This impressive increase in revenue is achieved through the enhanced capability to analyse all the bank's data on a daily basis. The insights gained from this comprehensive data analysis allowed the bank to identify new opportunities, optimise their marketing strategies, and tailor their services to better meet customer needs.
The ability to make data-driven decisions in real-time enables the bank to respond swiftly to market changes, improve customer engagement, and ultimately boost their financial performance. This substantial revenue growth not only strengthened the bank's competitive position but also provided a solid foundation for future expansion and innovation.
