Client background

A sports analytics and predictions company.

The client operates in the sports analytics and predictions space. Their analysts needed accurate, fast, unified data to drive predictions, track performance and power dashboards, but their pipelines were fragmented, manual and unreliable.

At a glance
  • Internal systems (Sporacles)
  • Web spiders
  • MDM external APIs
The problem

Scattered data, inconsistent names and manual processing.

Event data lived across spiders, internal systems and MDM with no unified model.

A single team could appear as 5 to 10 name variations.
Analysts spent 15 to 20 hours per week cleaning spreadsheets.
Missing historical records made backtesting nearly impossible.
It took 24 to 48 hours for data to be actionable, by which point odds were outdated.
No unified way to compare predictions across sources.
An estimated 15 to 20% error rate in manually consolidated data.
What they needed
  • A clean, real-time, analytics-ready platform
  • No manual effort
  • Consistent team and event naming
  • A foundation for deeper analysis
