Translating raw data into actionable insights

Prodrive is a highly digital company, which comes with a huge amount of data spread across many different applications. At Advanced Analytics, we use our in-house data science platform to combine, process, and visualize our company data. We do this to generate actionable insights about virtually every aspect of the company - this includes our manufacturing processes, finances, supply chain, human resources, and so on. In order to make the best decisions, we need the best possible insight into our (digital) facts.

The first thing that I do on a typical workday is to check the finance dashboards  – besides that it is interesting to see how the company is doing on its revenue targets, I also get to fix bugs early in case they pop up. Since a lot of my Python scripts run nightly, a quick check for error notifications is always a good idea. Luckily, issues do not pop up often, and if they do, they can normally be fixed quickly with the help of our data infrastructure team.

I usually spend the better part of the day on activities related to dashboard development: analyzing data, programming data processing scripts, creating reports with business intelligence tools, writing documentation, etc. However, I never have a workday that only consists of solo development work: there’s always a lot of interaction with end-users, be it in the form of answering questions, brainstorming new features, or getting feedback on a new report. However, I also collaborate a lot with colleague data engineers, for instance by reviewing their work or sharing handy new shortcuts in our IDE.

When late afternoon comes in, I often feel like it is high time for some physical exercise. So, I then go for a workout in the Prodrive gym to clear up my mind. After that, I might call it a day and go back home, or I might eat a nice evening meal at Prodrive and work for a few more hours. Never because I really have to, but always because I like my work and because I really want to make an impact with the stuff that I am building. I really like the freedom of working at Prodrive – you can pursue your data-heavy ideas to improve the company as much as you like and at the time of the day you like.

The value is not in the dashboard itself, but in the impact of the insights on the company.
