Our enterprise seeks to streamline its warehousing and distribution processes by developing a robust, real-time data analytics pipeline. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Apache Kafka and Spark, this project will empower stakeholders with actionable insights, improving decision-making and operational efficiency.

📋Project Details

In the rapidly evolving landscape of warehousing and distribution, the ability to analyze data in real time is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Our enterprise aims to develop a comprehensive data engineering solution that integrates real-time analytics to optimize supply chain operations. By employing technologies such as Apache Kafka for event streaming and Spark for data processing, the project intends to create a scalable data pipeline that collects, processes, and analyzes data from multiple sources within our distribution network. This pipeline will be managed through Airflow, ensuring seamless orchestration of data workflows. Additionally, dbt will be utilized for data transformation, while Snowflake will serve as the central data warehouse. The project will focus on establishing data observability to ensure data quality and reliability. Through this initiative, we expect to reduce operational costs, enhance inventory management, and improve delivery times, ultimately leading to increased customer satisfaction.
