The Challenge
BrightStar Care faced challenges in visualizing large volumes of data spread across multiple systems, including their home-grown application ABS, accounting software, help desk software, survey systems, and Microsoft Dynamics. They needed a solution to quickly answer business questions without rebuilding the entire pipeline for each new analysis. Additionally, they wanted to distribute their dashboard solution globally, allowing franchisees to access and visualize their own data easily. The complexity of the data and relationships between sources made it tedious to analyze, and they required a BI tool that offered self-service capabilities, agility for ad-hoc queries, visually attractive presentations, and a low cost of ownership.
About The Customer
BrightStar Care is a leading homecare and medical staffing company with over 14 years in business and 10 years of selling franchises. They have 340 locations throughout the United States and have been named by Forbes Magazine as one of the top ten best franchises in America for three consecutive years. BrightStar specializes in providing quality service at reasonable rates, and their success is heavily reliant on collecting and understanding data to optimize their performance. They aim to measure their IT processes, monitor franchise performance in scheduling and budgeting, and provide franchisees with the ability to monitor their own systems and reporting through embedded analytics.
The Solution
BrightStar Care implemented Sisense at every level of the company to gain insights and optimize their IT processes. Sisense was chosen for its simplicity, ability to be tested on their own data, and alignment with their criteria for a BI tool. The free POC and scalability of Sisense made it an ideal choice. Initially, BrightStar analyzed the usage of their internal reports to understand franchisee behavior and optimize report processing times. They discovered that Fridays were the highest traffic days for report usage, allowing them to plan for outages and load balance batch reports effectively. By evaluating report processing times and usage frequency, they identified problem areas and optimized report execution, resulting in a 10x performance improvement. This internal usage led to valuable insights and development ideas for both BrightStar and their franchisees.
