The world’s largest convenience retailer is advancing digital transformation in Japan with a new data analysis platform built on Google Cloud.
7-Eleven Japan is consolidating and analyzing data from its 21,000 stores across the country using its new Google Cloud-based Seven Central platform. The retailer seeks to drive faster enterprise decision-making with real-time data views.
The platform brings siloed POS data from 7-Eleven Japan stores nationwide into one centralized location in the cloud, and then leverages Google Cloud’s smart data analytics solutions like BigQuery to analyze data at petabyte scale. In addition, Seven Central obtains a single unified application programming interface (API) for all of its data cloud with Google Cloud Apigee API management solution.
