The Challenge
Signol reached out to DEUS with the request for a scalable and robust platform that accommodates the company’s evolving needs in data access, management and governance by integrating complex data workflows into a cohesive system. This platform is essential to achieve speedy customer onboarding and to provide easy access to historical data from raw files for advanced analytics and modelling of potential savings in fuel consumption and reduction of environmental impact.
Our Solution
We developed and deployed a scalable Lakehouse environment leveraging AWS Databricks. The solution was designed to support both Data Engineering and Data Science teams with streamlined, modular, and reusable workflows that can be adapted and employed across different client projects, maximising efficiency and scalability. Moreover, our modular design ensures component reusability, significantly reducing development time for onboarding new clients and increased adaptability to evolving business needs.

The Lakehouse we built leverages a medallion architecture and infrastructure-as-a-code approach with Terraform to optimise data management and processing. This multi-layered approach supports data quality and accessibility, as well as a variety of analytical applications by providing a scalable, ACID-compliant environment optimised for efficient data analytics and reporting. It also facilitates rapid deployment of new data models and analytics capabilities.

Finally, creating the foundation for more sophisticated data-driven decision-making processes based on advanced analytics and machine learning models, enabled Signol to elevate and scale their product offering in a robust and reliable manner.

The Impact

Robust Data Governance

that streamlines data management, democratises data access, and improves system flexibility and data reliability

Scalable Foundation for Growth

that enables Signol to quickly leverage workflow customisation across different client projects, facilitating the company’s growth

Modular and Reusable Component Design

that accelerates development and project timelines by enabling quick adaptation and deployment across projects.

Efficient Data Processing

that automatically scales with data volume and complexity, ensuring optimal resource utilisation.

Enhanced Data Quality

that provides robust foundation for improved decision- making accuracy and easy utilisation of historical data for analysis and model building. A data quality framework was built for this purpose
conclusion
We provided Signol with a competitive advantage by transforming its data infrastructure into a scalable, efficient, and flexible Lakehouse architecture. This foundation optimised not only Signol’s operational processes, but also its ability to quickly innovate and respond to market changes due to reduced client onboarding time, our robust data governance, modular design, democratised access to high-quality data and efficient data processing. In our continued collaboration with Signol, we will continue to strengthen and optimise the infrastructure we built and provide the client with an SDK for local development.
