Noustique Perfumes is a fragrance startup, based in Spain, with their flagship store in Paris, France.
Noutstique originated from a collaboration between BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, Europe’s #1 home appliance manufacturer, and Puig, a global leader in fragrance. They made it possible for everyone to create their own unique fragrance at home.
Our greatest challenge is everything had to go through the data analyst using Tableau. Anybody wanted any kind of metrics were not able to do it themselves.
Tableau is not only about SQL, it’s also about learning the tool itself, having the software installed in your computer. But once the models are built in Holistics, you know, we’re not really that on top of the tool, because the tool is working automatically, we don’t have to do much after that.
The biggest thing for me is that business users feel much more empowered using Holistics than Tableau.
