Background

Rabattcorner, a cashback platform, needed an intuitive analytics layer to visualize Daily, Weekly, and Monthly performance across Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), Revenue, Payments, Average Order Value, Number of Transactions, Transaction Statuses, conversion rate, and more. The team had been using Looker, but sought the advantages of Amazon QuickSight—built-in machine learning insights (anomaly detection, forecasting, automated narratives), a simpler interface with natural-language query (NLQ) for non-technical users, high performance with the SPICE in-memory engine, and a cost-efficient pay-per-session model.
The Challenge
Rabattcorner set out to replace Looker with Amazon QuickSight while improving usability, performance, coverage of key KPIs, and overall cost efficiency.
-
Built-in ML insights: Achieve anomaly detection, forecasting, and automated narratives without stitching in external tools.
-
Ease of use for business users: Reduce reliance on LookML and enable ad-hoc analysis via natural-language query (NLQ).
-
Performance at scale: Speed up interactive dashboards and keep response times consistent on large datasets.
-
Cost control: Move from a fixed subscription to QuickSight’s pay-per-session model aligned to actual usage.
-
Comprehensive KPI coverage: Track Daily/Weekly/Monthly GMV, Revenue, Payments, AOV, Transactions, Statuses, and conversion in one place.
Our Solution
We implemented a QuickSight-based analytics stack and rollout plan tailored for fast performance and broad self-service adoption.
