GUESS: Unlocking Precise, Data-Backed Insights with AI Bots
Struggling with bottlenecks, delays, and time-consuming data processes?
Discover how GUESS unlocked data analytics to better understand customer needs and market trend insights.
GUESS is a global lifestyle, clothing, and accessories brand serving wholesale and online channels plus 1,500+ stores in more than 90 countries worldwide.
With a mission to deliver products and services of uncompromising quality, GUESS prioritizes data analytics for customer-driven decision-making.

The Challenges
Their process of merging and visualizing data for stakeholders across 90 countries was ineffective and time-consuming.
Employees translated complex, location-based metrics into company-wide key performance indicators (KPIs), resulting in constant miscommunication and human errors.
This overburdened subject matter experts (SMEs) who were tasked with interpreting and validating data, creating bottlenecks. Any delays or constraints in the SMEs workload had an impact on the overall reporting timeline.
By the time a stakeholder received the first version of a report or dashboard, a significant amount of time had passed. This caused further delays or impacted critical decisions due to outdated data.

The Issues faced by GUESS
Multiple Data Silos
Each store’s data was collected and managed in isolation, creating a fragmented workflow.
Lengthy Data Wrangling
Data engineers had to conduct lengthy critical analysis and data translation, adding to overall project timelines.
Costly Analysis
GUESS relied on outdated BI tools, attributes and filters, which were resource-intensive and expensive.
Delayed Feedback Loops
The feedback data wrangling process resulted in multiple cycles of refining reports and dashboards, causing extensive delays.

The Solution
GUESS integrated Strategy One, the AI-powered BI platform designed to simplify data management and enhance decision-making.
The retailer leveraged Strategy One’s AI capabilities to create custom Auto Bots that were tailored to understand the context of its business.
Auto Bots allowed non-technical users to conduct analysis using natural language queries, reducing reliance on data engineers.
They streamlined the data wrangling process and minimized the need for multiple cycles of report refinement.
Strategy One’s AI-powered analytics improved understanding of customer behavior and preferences.
Strategy One ensured real-time, accurate data responses to user queries, significantly reducing delays caused by human error.
The Impact
With AI natively built into Strategy One, GUESS uncovered insights, created sophisticated dashboards, and unlocked the ability to build custom solutions for each department.
The Auto Bots offered precise, data-backed responses that GUESS used to investigate changing trends and formulate long-term strategic decisions.
