Officeworks, a major Australian retailer with significant online and mobile presence needed to surface their extensive data in clear, accessible formats that enabled stakeholder self-service. While the organisation had a solid understanding of their data landscape, they lacked the visualisation and reporting infrastructure to make this information readily available for strategic decision-making across teams.

We were engaged to develop comprehensive analytics dashboards that transformed raw data into actionable insights. The solution needed to serve multiple stakeholder groups with varying technical capabilities and information needs, creating a balance between sophisticated analysis and intuitive user experience. Our primary focus was building self-service capabilities that reduced dependency on technical teams for routine reporting requests.

A critical challenge emerged around personalising experiences for anonymous users—visitors who hadn’t logged in and therefore had no identifiable purchase history or profile data. The retailer wanted to deliver customised experiences across both web and mobile platforms to all users, not just their known customer base. This required developing a sophisticated segmentation approach based entirely on behavioural signals rather than identity.

We developed a segmentation framework using observable data points from anonymous sessions: device type, landing page, traffic source, initial on-page actions, and browsing patterns. By analysing these signals, we created distinct user segments that enabled predictive modelling of visitor intent and behaviour with quantifiable confidence levels. This allowed the retailer to personalise content, product recommendations, and user journeys for logged-out visitors based on their predicted needs and shopping objectives.

The segmentation model empowered the retailer to deliver targeted experiences to previously anonymous traffic, influencing user behaviour towards specific conversion goals for each segment. The analytics platform provided stakeholders across merchandising, marketing, and digital teams with self-service access to performance data, enabling faster iteration on strategies and data-informed optimisation of the customer experience across all digital touchpoints.
