Together, we showcased the transformative power of leveraging data, analytics, and automation to significantly reduce manual work, enhance strategic visual presentations, and revolutionise day-to-day project management. It was especially exciting for us to share the innovative work we've done in collaboration with Woolworths.


In addition to automating 95% of the creation of strategic insight presentations and streamlining operational workflows, one of our favorite outcomes is the personalised email sent to every individual every Monday morning. This email details pending projects and milestones, helping individuals plan out their week efficiently.


We extend our heartfelt thanks to Westpac for hosting this fantastic event and providing us with the opportunity to be part of it. Special thanks to Charlie for taking the time to co-present our work with Woolworths!
