Lucy & Yak
Fashion brand saves hours weekly, builds custom retail reporting, and accelerates insights.
Business goals
Lucy & Yak, a fast-growing UK fashion brand known for sustainability, needed to bring data operations in-house to reduce reliance on contractors. Operating online and across eight stores, the team required better access to KPIs, inventory data, and customer sentiment. Key goals included:
- Full control over data pipelines
- Companywide self-service analytics
- Faster time-to-insight from new data sources
- Supporting growth without expanding the data team
The company sought a scalable platform to unify retail and marketing data for reliable reporting.
Integration Challenges
With only one data practitioner and heavy reliance on a contractor, Lucy & Yak faced major bottlenecks:
- Shopify, Klaviyo, and Peoplevox data took months to ingest
- Reports showed inconsistent metrics due to manual reconciliation
- Tableau dashboards became unusable from refresh limitations
- Stakeholder requests were difficult to fulfill
- Spreadsheet dependency reduced accuracy and availability
Growing data demands made it clear the team needed an agile, in-house solution that could scale without external support.
