The Challenge

Modern enterprises accumulate vast amounts of structured and unstructured data, including databases, emails, messages, and documents. Retrieving relevant information quickly is crucial for daily operations but remains a complex challenge. Traditional query implementation is time-intensive, requiring custom-built interfaces and backend APIs that connect different applications.

A leading grocery supplier struggled with inefficient data retrieval that was slowing sales operations. As one senior sales rep noted: "I spent hours manually pulling data from multiple systems for simple inquiries. It was frustrating and time-consuming."

Key Pain Points:

  • Slow access to critical business data (orders, suppliers, inventory, pricing)
  • Dependence on manual database queries requiring ongoing development support
  • Sales reps lacked real-time insights for quick decisions
  • Administrators manually processed over 100 daily emails, repeatedly searching past records
