Client: Leading Lighting Manufacturer in Vietnam
Industry: Manufacturing (Lighting)
Challenge: Inconsistent data from multiple tools and delayed reporting processes
Solution Provider: Vada Analytics – Self-Serve Data Analytics Platform
—
Executive Summary
One of Vietnam’s top lighting manufacturers faced a significant challenge managing their data infrastructure, with billions of VND invested in a data lake and multiple analytics tools, including Power BI. However, discrepancies in numbers reported by various tools created confusion and distrust in the data. These mismatches, combined with time-consuming manual checks, affected decision-making and efficiency.
By adopting Vada Analytics, the company resolved data discrepancies, streamlined reporting processes, and significantly reduced the time needed to generate and customize reports for different teams. Vada’s high-performance platform allowed them to detect the sources of inconsistencies and quickly generate real-time, reliable insights.
The Challenge
The manufacturer had been dealing with a critical issue for over a year: the data produced by their existing data lake’s report service and tools like Power BI showed different results. This inconsistency made it difficult and time-consuming for the team to verify data accuracy. The ongoing problem diminished trust in the company’s data infrastructure and affected the quality of insights, as employees had to manually check and reconcile reports across systems.
Moreover, the company’s reporting process was slow. Generating a new report would take 1-2 months, and setting custom permissions for different teams would have required a significant 3-6 months and a few more billions VND for development. These delays were costly and limited the organization’s ability to respond swiftly to business needs.

The lighting manufacturer turned to Vada Analytics to address these data discrepancies and streamline the reporting process. Vada’s high-performance query engine, along with its flexible data model and user-friendly self-serve interface, enabled the company to quickly resolve its data challenges.
