Data preparation in two minutes, not eight hours
A hospitality point-of-sale and payments platform worked with monō to get its data ready sooner. Built around the systems already in place, the new preparation workflow is now in production and owned by the data team.
The workflow at a glance
Preparing data took hours, delaying when the business could use it. We focused on shortening that preparation step, working with the existing data systems and the team responsible for them.

StrategyRemove the wait before the work can begin
The starting point was data preparation, the step holding up access to usable information. By focusing on this specific bottleneck, we could address a clear time cost without trying to change every part of the data process at once.
TechnologyBuild on the systems already in place
We built a data-preparation workflow on the monō platform, working with the business’s existing data systems. The focus was on changing how the data was prepared, rather than replacing the systems underneath it.
DeploymentPut the workflow in the data team’s hands
We worked with the data team to move the workflow into production. The team now owns it, keeping responsibility for this part of the data process inside the business.
Results240× faster data preparation
Preparation time fell from 480 minutes to two minutes. A process that previously took the equivalent of a full working day is now completed in minutes, so the business can put its data to use sooner.
