Unlocking Digital Menu Intelligence for Coca-Cola

Unlocking Digital Menu Intelligence for Coca-Cola

Situation

Coca-Cola experienced a significant decrease in in-person dining habits across the globe, prompting leadership to better understand customer behavior and product positioning within digital delivery platforms. The organization had strategically purchased a third-party dataset containing web-scraped delivery menu data with over 50 million records across major services like DoorDash, GrubHub, and UberEats to analyze digital marketplace trends. However, due to the complexity and massive scale of this dataset, the client lacked visibility into delivery service customer offerings and could not identify which specific customer groups they should strategically target for improvement. The company needed sophisticated analytical capabilities to derive actionable insights from this complex data in an automated manner while building scalable infrastructure for ongoing digital marketplace intelligence.

Our Solution

Thought Logic served as the primary execution team for development and discovery of delivery menu insights, leveraging our Data Analytics & Insights practice area to transform complex data into actionable business intelligence. We helped develop the scalable architecture for ingesting large delivery menu trend data sets into the client’s existing PowerBI infrastructure, then developed over 11 dashboards analyzing delivery menu data at various levels of granularity including Location, Customer, Product Group, and Delivery Service perspectives. Our approach included gathering input from various stakeholder groups to identify and document business use cases for incorporation into the comprehensive Business Intelligence dashboard suite, creating self-serve analytics capabilities that would empower decision-makers across the organization.
