How a cloud data platform accelerated product innovation at global scale.
A global FMCG group wanted to bring new products to market faster — but insight was trapped in regional systems and spreadsheets. Ju Group led the move to a unified cloud data platform so commercial, supply chain, and innovation teams could act on the same trusted information worldwide.
The challenge
Product launches, range changes, and regional promotions all depended on data that did not line up. ERP instances, local BI tools, and manual extracts meant teams debated numbers instead of testing ideas.
Innovation programmes — from demand sensing to personalisation — kept waiting on data readiness. Leadership needed a platform that simplified operations for plant and commercial teams, not another layer of complexity.
The group also had to migrate without disrupting manufacturing continuity: staged cutovers, clear ownership, and cloud spend that stayed predictable as adoption grew.
Ju Group helped us move from fragmented analytics to a cloud platform our commercial and innovation teams actually trust — and that showed up in how quickly we could act on insight.
The solution
Ju Group designed a lakehouse on a sovereign cloud footprint with automated lineage, role-based access, and FinOps controls in every environment — so cost and compliance were built in, not bolted on later.
Domain-aligned product teams — supply chain, sales, sustainability — each shipped curated datasets with SLAs the business could rely on for planning and innovation.
Migration followed business criticality: demand planning and finance first, then plant telemetry, then customer analytics — every wave with tested rollback before cutover.
The result
Planning cycles shortened and forecast quality improved. Teams moved from slide-deck prototypes to production analytics in weeks, supporting faster range decisions and more confident product bets.
Retiring redundant estates cut run-cost, and executives gained one view of data products, owners, and compliance — the base layer for the group's enterprise AI and innovation roadmap.
Ju Group remains the strategic partner for platform operations and the next wave of data-led product capability.
