Challenges

‍Before implementing Grow, Williamsburg Learning struggled with significant data management issues. Data from various source systems were disjointed, leading to inaccurate reporting and difficulty in evaluating overall business health. The company had to deal with mismatched information across systems, hindering their ability to understand key performance indicators (KPIs) and monitor business performance. High costs associated with other BI vendors further complicated their efforts to find a solution. Additionally, the team faced challenges in sharing metrics and visualizing performance goals versus actual outcomes, which slowed decision-making and efficiency.

Without real-time data insights, Williamsburg Learning was unable to proactively identify issues or spot opportunities, which created a reactive, rather than strategic, approach to decision-making. As the possibility of a recession loomed, the need for an affordable and comprehensive business intelligence solution became more critical.

Solution and Results

‍Grow's cloud-hosted platform helped Williamsburg Learning solve these challenges by providing a centralized data solution that integrated all of their sources into one place. The platform's ease of use allowed the company's IT team to create customized dashboards and reports, which executive leadership, managers, analysts, and even non-management staff could access to monitor performance against goals.

Grow provided actionable data insights that allowed Williamsburg Learning to spot potential problems early and avoid them, make better-informed decisions, and significantly improve operational efficiency. The ability to blend data from multiple sources and track KPIs in real time saved the team valuable time in data analysis and empowered the entire organization to analyze data relevant to their roles. In addition, the affordability of Grow, paired with the unlimited users feature, made it an attractive solution compared to other costly BI vendors.

Use Case

‍Williamsburg Learning uses Grow primarily for business intelligence, dashboarding, data visualization, and reporting. The company’s IT team is responsible for building and maintaining metrics and dashboards, while executive leadership, managers, analysts, and other employees across various departments—ranging from service and support to marketing and accounting—regularly use the dashboards.
