We're a growing startup in the Food & Beverage industry seeking to revolutionize our ingredient supply chain operations through real-time analytics. We aim to implement an advanced data engineering solution to ensure timely and effective ingredient sourcing, reducing waste and improving inventory management.

📋Project Details

In the fast-paced world of Food & Beverage, the ability to manage supply chain operations in real-time is crucial. Our company is looking to redesign our data infrastructure to enable real-time analytics for our ingredient supply chain. This project will involve setting up a robust event streaming platform using Apache Kafka to capture live data from our suppliers, warehouses, and production facilities. Additionally, we'll use Spark and Airflow for data processing and orchestration, ensuring seamless data flow and transformation. We plan to deploy dbt for data modeling and leverage Snowflake or BigQuery for scalable data storage and querying. The solution will enable us to track ingredient levels in real-time, forecast shortages, and optimize orders automatically. Our goal is to minimize waste, reduce costs, and enhance our ability to respond to market demands swiftly, ultimately sustaining our competitive edge in the industry.
