HelloFresh Hackathon: Building Trust in the Data

HelloFresh recently sponsored a global hackathon, supported by Soda, aimed at creating a "Standard Data Quality Dashboard" to enhance data literacy and trust within the organization. The event brought together cross-market teams of employees who were tasked with designing dashboards that would simplify data quality reporting and enable easy comparison of data assets, thus reducing the time and resources spent on reacting to data quality issues. The teams focused on six key dimensions of data quality—accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness, uniqueness, and validity—and incorporated features that allowed users to gain both high-level overviews and deep insights into datasets. The winning team, "Tricolour Kiwis," proposed a dashboard that weights the importance of each dimension specific to each data asset, demonstrating the importance of tailored data quality metrics. Soda's Data Observability Platform played a crucial role in underpinning the data quality metrics, highlighting the significance of accessible data monitoring in fostering transparency and informed decision-making across organizations. The hackathon emphasized the value of making data monitoring accessible and encouraged other organizations to explore similar initiatives using Soda's resources and platforms.
