Solution

By integrating GA4 and BigQuery, Napkyn was able to develop reporting dashboards to create a much deeper view of customer behavior, enabling marketing and operations managers to better understand and anticipate demand. Napkyn also used GCP to regularly push GA4 user activity data to FreshDirect’s Oracle systems, enabling FreshDirect’s operations team to immediately optimize delivery slots and corresponding truck capacity.
