Background & core challenges
A data platform that had become expensive, heavy to maintain and slow
Founded in New York in 2002, Rag & Bone is an American fashion brand in the premium segment. It stands out for its balance of craft heritage, quality standards and creative innovation, with an international presence and omnichannel sales.
Against a backdrop of growth and fine-grained performance management (sales, inventory, supply chain), the brand leans heavily on data to track its key indicators, streamline operations and support strategic decisions.
The rapid growth in data volumes and the variety of analytical uses, however, exposed the limits of the existing platform, in cost, maintainability and performance alike.

Take back control of the platform's operating costs

Simplify maintenance of the calculation rules behind the key indicators

Speed up loading and reporting for the business teams

Build a reliable, structured and scalable foundation, ready for future AI use cases

Our approach
A data foundation rethought, from warehouse to semantic layer
From Montreal, KPC Canada rethought Rag & Bone's data platform to cut costs, simplify maintenance and get it ready for AI.

Migration & Architecture
Rebuilding the warehouse and migrating to Oracle
Rebuilding the sales, inventory and finance data warehouse, and migrating the data platform from Azure SQL to Oracle.


Semantic layer
An agnostic semantic layer
A market study, then the implementation of an agnostic semantic layer, independent of the underlying technologies.
