Previously, Shazam relied on spreadsheets for internal reporting and managing sales to advertisers. This meant the organization lacked a single source of truth, with siloed data from various geographies scattered across multiple spreadsheets. Additionally, its analytics team faced a continuous backlog of time-consuming requests for reports from executives and sales teams.
“Einstein Analytics offers out of the box capabilities that empower sales users to get up and running quickly with advanced analytics. Shazam has made analytics a front office imperative and not a back office function. When every employee in your company is empowered with actionable insights, they become trailblazers they do their jobs better, provide more personalized customer experiences and in turn, take the company to new heights” said Ketan Karkhanis, GM of Salesforce Analytics.
“Shazam needed a solution that would help increase efficiency and reduce requests for reports from the core analytics team. Nucleus found that Salesforce Einstein Analytics helped increase productivity for the chief revenue officer (CRO), the sales VPs, and the analytics team. In addition, the deployment helped Shazam maintain clean data for improved customer segmentation and more effective sales efforts,”said Barbara Peck, principal analyst, Nucleus Research.
