Project Summary

A real estate project management company engaged Valor Software to optimize an underperforming data pipeline and warehouse. Valor implemented a cloud-native solution on Google Cloud Platform, using Dataflow for real-time ETL and replacing Redshift with BigQuery, and built a custom TensorFlow ML pipeline on GCP’s AI Platform. These changes reduced operational costs, improved analytics speed and accuracy, and produced more accurate recommendations that increased customer engagement and conversion rates. The team communicated effectively and delivered on schedule.

Key Challenges

  • Inefficient data pipeline and warehouse causing slow reporting during peak loads
  • AWS Lambda functions and Redshift were not scaling and increased operational costs
  • Generic ML model produced inconsistent predictions
  • Global teams faced communication challenges due to time zone differences

Project Deliverables

  • Cloud-native data pipeline on GCP
  • Real-time ETL using GCP Dataflow
  • BigQuery as primary data warehouse
  • Custom ML pipeline using TensorFlow on GCP AI Platform

Project Solution

Valor designed and implemented a cloud-native data pipeline on Google Cloud Platform. They moved the analytics stack off AWS, implemented Dataflow for real-time ETL processing, replaced Redshift with BigQuery as the main data warehouse, and developed a custom ML pipeline using TensorFlow on GCP’s AI Platform. The team followed agile methodologies and used tools like Jira and Slack to coordinate across time zones.

Project Outcome

  • More accurate, tailored recommendations from the custom TensorFlow ML pipeline
  • Improved customer engagement and conversion rates
  • Reduced operational costs and improved analytics speed and accuracy
  • Deliverables provided on time with strong communication
