Our SME shipping and freight company seeks a data engineering solution to optimize shipping routes in real-time. By leveraging a data mesh architecture, we aim to decentralize data ownership and improve data accessibility across departments. This project will implement real-time analytics, reduce operational costs, and enhance service reliability, leading to improved customer satisfaction.

📋Project Details

As a growing shipping and freight SME, we face challenges in optimizing our shipping routes due to siloed data and delayed analytics. Our current approach leads to inefficiencies, increased costs, and suboptimal customer service. We aim to transform our data infrastructure with a data mesh architecture, enabling decentralized data ownership and seamless data accessibility. We seek an experienced data engineer to design and deploy a solution using Apache Kafka for event streaming and real-time data integration. The project will also utilize Spark for data processing, Snowflake or BigQuery for data warehousing, and Airflow for orchestrating data workflows. By implementing real-time analytics, we can dynamically optimize shipping routes, reducing transit times and operational costs. This project will empower our teams with accurate data insights, driving informed decision-making and fostering a culture of data-driven operations. With a budget of $25,000 to $75,000 and a timeline of 12-16 weeks, we aim to position our company as a leader in efficient and reliable shipping services.
