Case Study
Simplifying User Interaction Analysis for a Leading E-commerce Platform
A major e-commerce platform used a costly third-party tool for user interaction measurement but wanted to switch to an internally developed tool due to significant costs and complexity. The goal was to make the internal tool user-friendly and cost-effective.
01 - Translate
We identified key challenges with the internal tool, including data volume, granularity issues, and system complexity. Our goal was to simplify the tool for easier analysis and usability.
02 - Strategize
We focused on core components: customer behavior and related financials. Collaborating with internal stakeholders, we designed a modular architecture and built a proof of concept (PoC) for key modules to facilitate A/B testing analysis.
03 - Execute
We refactored the existing system into modular, manageable components. By implementing best practices, we reduced analysis complexity significantly, allowing for streamlined and consistent A/B test analysis across teams.
04 - Sustain & Scale
The solution included incremental table models and visualizations in Looker Studio. This ensured long-term usability, quick iteration, and effective data governance, supporting ongoing improvement and scalability.
Data for a better future
This project reduced analysis complexity by a factor of 10, enabling faster, more efficient analysis. It also created significant cost savings by eliminating the need for expensive third-party tools. By improving the internal tool’s usability, we empowered business users to derive richer insights, fostering a data-driven culture.

Case Study
Enhancing Gender Pay Gap Analysis for a Leading Global Bank
A global bank measured its gender pay gap (GPG) to address gender equity. While the bank performed annual equal pay analyses, it identified the need for a more robust tool to analyze and address the GPG. The existing tool was script-based and lacked flexibility, consistency, and software quality.
01 - Translate
We identified necessary improvements, focusing on creating a direct database connection, validating and cleaning data, and enhancing statistical analysis to ensure accurate and actionable insights.
02 - Strategize
Collaborating with the bank’s HR Analytics team, we refactored the existing tool into modular components. We applied object-oriented design principles and integrated robust data handling and analysis features.
03 - Execute
We reverse-engineered the original script, separating concerns and implementing best practices. This included logging, hypothesis testing, and comprehensive documentation, ensuring the new tool’s reliability and effectiveness.
04 - Sustain & Scale
The upgraded tool featured command-line argument parsing and Power BI visualizations, allowing for rapid research iterations and long-term usability. We ensured knowledge transfer and robust governance to support future needs.
Data for a better future
This project significantly enhanced the bank’s ability to analyze and address gender pay differences, supporting its commitment to gender equity. The new tool reduced analysis time from weeks to minutes, allowing for quicker identification and remediation of pay gaps. By improving the tool’s flexibility and consistency, we contributed to the bank’s efforts to promote gender equality and transparency. This project aligns with our mission of “Data for a better future,” by advancing gender equity in the workplace, a critical aspect of societal progress.

Testimonials
"I was consistently impressed with his exceptional analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to work collaboratively with other members of the team."
"He managed to deliver the agreed feature for our product within timeline & handover his work & knowledge to the team. He streamlined the old codebase into a new scalable one adding required documentation. He is very curious and challenges the choices and decision instead of following the requirements in a blindfold way."
"Floris demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise and dedication in the field of data science. His contributions were instrumental in achieving the project's objectives and provided invaluable insights into gender pay gap within our organization."
Case Study
Transforming Service Contracts for a Leading Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturer
The client, a leading semiconductor equipment manufacturer, needed to shift from uptime-based to productivity-based service contracts. This transition required an automated way to link scanner performance to availability, which was previously done manually.
01 - Translate
We identified key data points and metrics to establish a baseline for the new service contracts, translating complex domain knowledge into actionable data insights.
02 - Strategize
Collaboratively, we developed modular and scalable data products, transforming raw event logs into relevant datasets to inform scanner performance improvements.
03 - Execute
We extended our initial proof of concept to a minimum viable product, enabling root cause analysis and performance optimisation. This allowed senior leaders and engineering teams to efficiently identify and address productivity issues.
04 - Sustain & Scale
We ensured solutions were scalable and adaptable, providing knowledge transfer and robust governance to support long-term success and sustainability.
Data for a better future
This project improved the way performance improvements are identified at customer sites, significantly reducing the time required from six weeks to less than a day. This efficiency gain frees up valuable time for highly skilled individuals and supports the new business model of productivity-based service contracts. The estimated additional revenue generated from this new contract type is 150 million euros over one year, demonstrating significant financial impact. Moreover, by optimizing scanner performance, we support the technological advancements that drive societal progress and innovation. This project aligns with our mission of “Data for a better future,” enhancing the efficiency and productivity of semiconductor manufacturing, which is crucial for technological advancement and societal progress.
