The Customer
Daraz is the leading online marketplace across South Asia (excluding India). Daraz provides access to 10 million products and delivers more than 2 million packages every month. In 2018, Daraz was acquired by Alibaba Group.
The business covers four key areas – e-commerce, logistics, payment infrastructure, and financial services – providing sellers and customers with an end-to-end commerce solution. With access to over 500 million customers in various markets, Daraz strives to deliver on its promise of enabling easy access to a wide assortment of products. Together with its digitalized logistics business, it employs more than 10,000 people, helping to bring economic opportunities to communities in South Asia.
The Problem
Daraz was utilizing Microsoft Dynamics 365 but was experiencing significant issues due to the absence of Azure Data Lake. With millions of transactions occurring each month, the client’s database size was rapidly expanding, leading to various complications. To address this, the client resorted to archiving their historical data into a separate database at regular intervals.
However, the absence of Azure Data Lake posed a significant challenge for Daraz. The primary issue revolved around generating reports and effectively analyzing the archived data. The archived data served several critical purposes, including meeting compliance requirements, centralizing discovery processes, conducting trend analysis and reporting, as well as facilitating predictive analytics and forecasting.
In summary, the client’s current lack of Azure Data Lake significantly impacts their operations, as they struggle to effectively utilize and derive meaningful value from their vast amount of archived data.
