Brooks Brothers BI

Brooks Brothers needed a custom Business Intelligence platform to replace expensive third-party BI tools that couldn't handle their specific retail analytics needs — cross-channel inventory visibility, seasonal demand patterns, and store-level performance comparisons. Off-the-shelf solutions required too much customization to be cost-effective.

Led a team of 4 developers to build a full-stack BI solution. The frontend used React with custom charting components for retail-specific visualizations (heat maps for store performance, waterfall charts for seasonal trends). The backend used .NET Core with OLAP cubes for multi-dimensional data analysis, optimized for queries across 500+ stores and 10,000+ SKUs.

Report generation time dropped 70%, data errors decreased 45%, and new analyst training time was cut by 30%. The platform paid for itself within 6 months by eliminating $200K/year in third-party BI licensing fees.
