Paypal - Can real-time business insights be made better?
PayPal Holdings Inc. may be nearly one and half centuries younger than the likes of American Express, but its impact on the growth of the internet is undeniable. For millions of people around the world, PayPal is what helped them grow comfortable with eCommerce, particularly due to its tight integration with eBay.
With its core infrastructure powering billions of internet transactions everyday, PayPal’s global management team felt that waiting for historical reports (no matter how recent) to land in their inboxes was not good enough, especially if you’re one of the biggest players in the global payments space. With internal teams asking for months to complete this project, the company knocked on our doors and asked us to develop a bespoke business intelligence dashboard in a few weeks. The extremely tight deadline was a byproduct of the dashboard’s criticality, as it was to be used to keep track of PayPal’s key business metrics in real-time.
“Building a mission-critical internal tool that plugs into PayPal’s complex infrastructure and expansive APIs is not easy, but it’s a challenge that we relished. And being able to complete the project within a few weeks while PayPal’s own internal team projected a months-long timeframe, speaks volumes about our ability to compete at a world-class level.”
