SUMMARY:How SPAR Created a CPG Sales Data Exchange with Data Preparation
DESCRIPTION:SPAR is one of the world’s largest food retailers operating more than 13\,000 stores in 48 countries across the globe. To understand sales trends\, market conditions and the performance of different promotions\, SPAR relies on data shared by their retailers and their own ability to analyze that data. You can imagine this isn’t easy! \nComparing data across their vast network of retailers means that SPAR’s analytics team has to standardize data across different languages\, currencies\, formats and product hierarchies. Talk about a data wrangling challenge! \nJoin this webinar to learn how SPAR utilized Trifacta’s data preparation platform to turn this massive data headache into a competitive advantage for their business. SPAR’s Head of International Operations\, Tom Rose and Lead Data Analyst\, Dharshini Manoharan will dig into the following topics during this webinar: \n● How SPAR created a strategy to turn data bottlenecks into analytic opportunities\n● What technology\, people and process components were required for success\n● Who utilizes data preparation within SPAR and where it fits in their tech stack

SUMMARY:The power of open data: improving experiences for operators and public transport riders - WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Creating a more connected\, collaborative and open approach to transport data will be essential to supporting the long term recovery of public transport across the globe. However\, a barrier often associated with the sharing of any form of data is the concern from the information source as to how data consumers will use this data. \nZoning in on the United Kingdom\, this webinar introduces the Department for Transport’s Bus Open Data Service (BODS)\, the new UK regulation that requires Bus Operators to provide timetables\, real-time vehicle locations\, and ticketing/fare information in a central data depository. \n\nBODS is a real-world case study of a transparent approach to sharing transport data in partnership with mobility services and trip planners for the benefit of riders and agencies\, and enables developers to use that data to improve passenger information through different tools and applications. \nIn the session\, Moovit will highlight how it uses open data from source through to public transport users\, and West Yorkshire Combined Authority will talk about the benefits their local riders already experience from their approach of embracing open data. \nKey learning points\n\nWhat is the UK Bus Open Data Service (BODS) and how will it help data publishers\, data consumers\, and operators?\nWhat are the current and emerging needs of riders and how can operators use open data meaningfully to benefit users of public transport?\nHow can sharing transport data change the rider experience now and in the future?
