The Challenge
- Manual benchmark creation took 2+ weeks per client
- No standardized methodology for competitive analysis
- Complex data extraction across billions of rows with database timeout constraints
- Need for scalable solution accessible to non-technical team members
- Manual competitor selection and page mapping processes
The Solution
- Backend Development: Built Python-based benchmark engine with advanced competitor selection using clustering & cosine similarity algorithms
- Database Optimization: Implemented batch processing strategies to handle billions of rows without timeouts
- API Development: Created 35-route Flask API for seamless front-end integration
- Web Interface: Designed intuitive UI for benchmark configuration and management
- Algorithm Innovation: Developed automated competitor identification and page mapping systems
- Product Integration: Collaborated with product team to integrate solution into core platform
Technical Architecture:
- Python backend with advanced SQL optimization
- Flask API with 35 endpoints
- Automated Google Sheets integration
- Data visualization dashboards with Looker Studio
- Clustering algorithms for competitor analysis
Results & Impact
- Time Reduction: 2 weeks → 5 minutes (99.7% time savings)
- Scale: Successfully delivered 15+ benchmarks before product integration
- Product Development: Solution became core product feature with MVP release
- Team Efficiency: Enabled non-technical team members to create benchmarks independently
- Business Value: Transformed manual service into scalable product offering
