Headed a team of engineers and business stakeholders to address customer pain points and create a new product, which greatly affected customer NPS and lifetime value.
CRM and ERP Platform for an Outdoor Advertising Company
Led development teams and business stakeholders in creating an end-to-end CRM and ERP platform for 100 users and 15 user types.
Data Migration and Management for a Transportation Company
Migrated Fortune 500 customer data to Google Cloud and created new dataflows to support business processes, significantly decreasing customer costs.
Collaboration Product Between a Bank and Its eCommerce Subsidiary Company
Developed a product that connects the biggest Georgian bank and its subsidiary eCommerce company. The product became a new source of bank loans and increased eCommerce sales by 300%.
Since bank applications already had the desired traffic, they could redirect some of it to the eCommerce platform. Data engineers and scientists developed a recommendation system to predict customer eCommerce product preferences. We combined these results with internal IT changes designed to minimize scrutiny while taking out installment loans. The implementation of both changes reflected the customer attitude, resulting in the bank selling loans and helping customers buy desired products from the eCommerce platform. This increased the bank's installment loan portfolio, and as one of the loans got redirected to the subsidiary company, it boosted its sales by 300%.
