The right use of data changes everything. <\/em>Disrupting Markets<\/em><\/strong> is your window into how companies have digitally transformed their businesses, shaken up their industries, and even changed the world through the use of data and analytics.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When Jerry Baldwin, Gordon Bowker, and Zev Siegl opened the first Starbucks store in 1971 near the historic Pike Place Market in Seattle<\/a>, they couldn\u2019t have known that their small, local coffee shop would turn into a worldwide empire. Following a localized expansion, stores started springing up outside North America<\/a> and, by the late 1990s, Starbucks became the largest coffee-house chain in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today the business boasts over 31,000 stores worldwide and over 400,000 employees, serving 100 million customers a week. And these aren\u2019t the only figures that have grown over the years: in 2019, the firm recorded its highest-ever revenue, having generated over $26.5 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Invest in data, invest in your company<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s no coincidence that this recent growth has come alongside a huge investment in data analytics. Recently described as \u201cnot a coffee business, but a data tech company<\/a>,\u201d the firm now has a dedicated team of data scientists, led by Jon Francis, Starbucks\u2019 senior vice president of enterprise analytics, data science, research data, and analytics. This team is committed to understanding the huge amount of data produced by the company on a daily basis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\u201cBecoming data-driven has always been about more than just convenience, and \u2018how do we sell more product?\u2019 It\u2019s about using these digital tools to elevate the analog human experience.\u201d<\/p>\r\n– Jon Francis, SVP Data Analytics, Starbucks<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cEvery store has its own personality,\u201d Francis said recently<\/a>. \u201cEvery store has its own set of customers and its own set of characteristics, and artificial intelligence (AI) can help us understand those individual store characteristics better. If you try to run one algorithm for all stores, you\u2019ll make progress. That\u2019s kind of what we\u2019re doing now. But to really breakthrough, you have to get down to the individual store level, and making sure we\u2019re making it as easy as possible for each store manager to create the culture and the kind of human connection we aspire for where they are, because when we are able to do that \u2014 wow, we are at our best.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Francis said this is about more than asking his data scientists to push the envelope to the bleeding edge. \u201cIt\u2019s always going to be bigger than that. It\u2019s always going to be about more than just convenience, and \u2018how do we sell more product?\u2019 It\u2019s about using these digital tools to elevate the analog human experience.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To this end, the firm now collects and processes information from customers, stores, and even its coffee machines using advanced technologies ranging from cloud computing to the Internet of Things (IoT), AI, and blockchain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Delving deeper into the in-store experience<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The firm\u2019s internal AI platform, which is called Deep Brew, is at the crux of Starbucks\u2019 current data strategy. The software\u2019s capabilities include tracking the inventory that moves through its stores and automatically calculating replenishment orders. This frees up a huge number of hours for store staff, who previously counted everything by hand. Deep Brew is also used to predict staffing requirements so Starbucks can add workers where and when needed. This has massively improved scheduling processes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Deep Brew will increasingly power our personalization engine, optimize store labor allocations, and drive inventory management in our stores.<\/p>\r\n– Kevin Johnson, Starbucks CEO<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Deep Brew was something that Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson was keen to discuss during his presentation at the National Retail Federation\u2019s annual show in January this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cDeep Brew will increasingly power our personalization engine, optimize store labor allocations, and drive inventory management in our stores,\u201d said Johnson, a tech industry veteran who spent more than three decades at firms including IBM, Microsoft, and Juniper Networks. \u201cIn many ways, Deep Brew, and the focus on machine learning and AI, is all about finding ways to help humans have more time to be human. It’s not about robots replacing humans. It’s about technology that frees up our baristas to better connect with one another and connect with customers.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To this end, Starbucks is also looking into the potential of using voice technology so that baristas can look their customers in the eye and take their order via a mic which transmits information to Deep Brew through natural language processing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Making new connections with data<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Starbucks isn\u2019t only using data in its stores. Thanks to the IoT, the coffee giant is able to securely connect all of its coffee machines using a guardian module which is connected to the cloud. By separating the device from the network, a guardian module can protect equipment from attack, ensure data is only transmitted between trusted cloud and device communications partners, and ensure the software of the module and the equipment remains intact and secured. Starbucks can use this technology in its new equipment and retrofit it into existing machines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a result of this, data is collected about every shot of espresso pulled, the type of beans used, the coffee\u2019s temperature, and even about water quality. This can generate more than five megabytes of data in an eight-hour shift.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Starbucks can also use this connectivity to send new coffee recipes directly to machines in the click of a button\u2014something that in the past could only happen via the manual delivery of USB sticks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThink about the complexity\u2014we have to get to 30,000 stores in nearly 80 markets to update those recipes,\u201d said Jeff Wile, senior vice president of retail and core technology services for Starbucks Technology in a recent interview<\/a>. \u201cThat recipe push is a huge part of the cost savings and the justification for doing this.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The connectivity also allows Starbucks to remotely diagnose potential problems, reduce maintenance costs, and achieve higher customer satisfaction by freeing up time to allow their partners to connect with their customers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Improving traceability<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As if this wasn\u2019t enough, Starbucks has also put Big Data at the heart of its mission to connect its entire supply chain\u2014a move which has helped to improve transparency and traceability. The firm\u2019s \u2018bean to cup\u2019 pilot used blockchain technology to enable customers to use their phones to scan a code on a bag of coffee to see where the coffee beans were grown. According to another recent Starbucks story<\/a>, it\u2019s hoped that this will help to create a one-to-one connection between farmers across the globe and someone drinking coffee at, say, a Starbucks in Seattle or Shanghai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cCoffee producers continue to embrace tools that equip them to be more sustainable in an ever-changing environment,\u201d said Jean Nkunzimana of the MISOZI Coffee Cooperative in Rwanda. \u201cFrom unpredictable climate changes to commodity price volatility, farmers continue to face multiple challenges in a global marketplace. With identity being the foundation of traceability, farmers have been able to leverage the value of being identified to create a credit history of the value of their production, as well as an acknowledgment of their self-worth.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While all of these efforts are proving incredibly beneficial, there\u2019s one more very important area that Starbucks is putting front and center of its data strategy: the need to build more personal connections with customers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIn thinking about the two transformative elements of modern-day retail, it begins by creating unique and relevant experiences,\u201d said Johnson<\/a>. \u201cIf you can\u2019t create a customer experience in your brick-and mortar store, an experience that goes beyond convenience, you\u2019re just another node in the supply chain. And that in-store experience must then be extended to a digital mobile relationship.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Going big by going mobile<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Starbucks mobile app is the perfect example of an extended digital relationship. The app, which is built and hosted in the cloud, uses reinforcement learning technology \u2014 a type of machine learning that uses insights from data to make decisions in complex, unpredictable environments based upon external feedback.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a result of this technology, 18.9 million active Starbucks Rewards members now receive personalized recommendations from the app for food and drinks based on local store inventory, popular selections, weather, time of day, community preferences, and previous orders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe know from experience that when customers join our rewards program, their total spend with Starbucks increases meaningfully,\u201d Johnson said in the firm\u2019s Q1 2020 earnings call. Johnson also went on to reveal that the Starbucks app now drives 17% of sales. \u201cOur industry-leading digital platform will further differentiate us from the competition over time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Building a better future with data<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the firm approaches its 50th<\/sup> anniversary next year, it wants to push even harder to deliver more for its customers, especially around sustainability. Its comprehensive data-driven strategy will be key to enabling this future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe are embarking on a journey,\u201d Johnson recently told CNBC<\/a>. \u201cWe know this journey will be hard. We are going to have to solve a lot of problems that nobody has solved yet today. It won\u2019t be linear. But we\u2019re going to do this. We are going to do it in partnership with others. And we\u2019re going to be thoughtful and we\u2019re going to bring the market along with us. But this is something that as we approach the 50th anniversary of Starbucks, will redefine the company.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Learn from the best<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Those organizations looking to become data-driven can learn from Starbucks\u2019 success and apply data in three key ways: to empower frontline workers; to better connect all aspects of their business; and to build customer loyalty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

The future of any business \u2014 any industry \u2014 will be determined by their use of data.<\/p>\r\n– Carmen DeCouto, Product Marketing Manager, Sisense<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe future of any business \u2014 any industry \u2014 will be determined by their use of data,\u201d says Carmen DeCouto, Product Marketing Manager at Sisense. \u201cIt\u2019s not enough to simply collect an infinite number of data points. Every business must be investing in the tools and people to propel them forward in crowded marketplaces where customers may easily choose a competitor.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By building data teams that can do all of this successfully, you are increase your chance to thrive in a changing world of data. Indeed, recent research from Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, has found that those businesses that have started down this road are already reaping the rewards: 72% say productivity has increased by empowering frontline workers, 69% say they\u2019ve increased both customer and employee engagement\/satisfaction, and 67% say they\u2019ve increased the quality of their products and services.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Don\u2019t know where to start? Choosing a platform like Sisense, designed to enable data teams to integrate analytics into everything their business does, makes the process of becoming data-driven simpler than ever.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
