Case Study: Streamlining Customer Data for Enhanced Analysis

The Challenge

Colonnade Advisors, an M&A investment bank, faced a significant data challenge when a client provided customer data in an Excel file and CSV format. The data was disorganized, with customer information spread across multiple rows—sometimes as many as ten per customer. With hundreds of thousands of rows, the fragmented data made it nearly impossible to efficiently manipulate or analyze the dataset.

The Solution

Dark Sky Data stepped in to address the issue swiftly. Our team developed a custom program designed to consolidate the scattered data, merging all relevant information into a single row per customer. This transformation enabled Colonnade Advisors to work with a clean, structured dataset that was ready for in-depth analysis.

The Result

By organizing the data into a user-friendly format, Dark Sky Data empowered Colonnade Advisors to efficiently analyze customer information, saving valuable time and resources. The streamlined dataset allowed the firm to focus on delivering insights and driving value for their client, rather than wrestling with disorganized data.
