Ometis & Tahola: Red-Engine Data Transformation Case Study

About Tahola and Ometis

Ometis recently welcomed Tahola to its family of data experts. This case study showcases Tahola's work with Red-Engine, demonstrating the high standard of data solutions that Ometis continues to deliver to hospitality operators today. By combining our expertise, Ometis now offers even more comprehensive data solutions across multiple industries.

The challenge

Before working with Tahola, Red-Engine faced significant data management issues that directly affected their ability to make informed business decisions.

Their sales and bookings data existed in multiple systems across their UK and USA operations. This fragmentation created a bottleneck for their reporting processes:

"With our data coming from different systems in the UK and the USA, we needed a way to bring everything together into a single, scalable platform. Reporting was taking too long, and we lacked the flexibility to dig deeper into revenue and sales trends."
Jason Dale, Technical Director, Red-Engine

The company needed a solution that would not only address their immediate reporting needs but also support their ongoing growth and future analytical requirements.

The solution

Red-Engine engaged Tahola to design and implement a comprehensive data solution. Our approach focused on building a solid foundation rather than simply implementing another reporting tool.

We created a data lake in Microsoft Fabric that:

1. Consolidated data from multiple sales and booking systems into a single location
2. Established a unified data structure for consistent reporting across all markets
3. Provided the flexibility to incorporate additional data sources as the business grows

The company appreciated our methodical approach to their data challenges:

"Tahola concentrated on getting the core infrastructure right first. They didn't just plug in a reporting tool; they built a proper data lake that would serve us now and scale with us in the future."

Jason Dale, Technical Director, Red-Engine

Red-Engine selected Tahola because of our expertise in hospitality data management:

"Tahola really understood what we were trying to achieve. They weren't just implementing a tool; they were building an infrastructure that gives us flexibility, control, and deeper insights into our sales and revenue."

Jason Dale, Technical Director, Red-Engine

The results

With their new data lake infrastructure in place, Red-Engine now benefits from:

• A unified view of performance data across all venues in both the UK and USA
• Faster, more accurate revenue reporting for timely decision-making
• Detailed sales mix analysis with the ability to examine regional and venue-specific trends
• A flexible platform that will adapt to their needs as they continue to grow

The solution has transformed how Red-Engine uses data to drive their business:

"We now have a unified, structured data platform that gives us the ability to analyse revenue and sales mix across all of our venues, no matter where they are. This is a huge step forward in how we use data to drive the business."

Jason Dale, Technical Director, Red-Engine

"Working with Red-Engine has been a perfect example of how getting the data foundation right transforms a business. By taking the time to understand their unique challenges across multiple markets, we've built a solution that delivers immediate value while setting them up for future growth.

This project shows what's possible when you focus on building proper data infrastructure rather than quick fixes."
