1,000+ automated daily report distributions ensuring teams get insights instantly

99.9% uptime delivering always‑on reliability

The Challenge

Eleven years ago, Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) faced a major analytical challenge. Eighteen manufacturing plants operated in silos, each using its own business logic to build dashboards and reports that other plants couldn’t validate.

For a business that depends on data consistency, this created multiple versions of truth. Even small KPI discrepancies required immediate manual reconciliation, and any reporting gaps triggered escalation calls that slowed decisions even further.

Meanwhile, plant supervisors working on 24/7 manufacturing floors often couldn’t access critical data when they needed it most. For a company producing more than 1.2 billion units each year, these delays weren’t just inefficient. They created major barriers to cross‑team collaboration and made customer‑driven analytics nearly impossible.

"Every single manufacturing plant was working in silos with disconnected reports. You can imagine the problems that brings up regarding maintenance and consistency."

The Strategy: Unifying Business Logic and Governance at Scale

The Foundation

To address this fragmentation, Keurig Dr Pepper adopted Strategy One and a semantic layer solution to unify data logic across its manufacturing operations. This established a centralized set of metrics, definitions, and models that remained consistent across every plant.

The Solution

With this unified data foundation, Keurig Dr Pepper’s platform processes half a terabyte of data daily into intelligent cubes, all governed through centralized logic. This delivers near‑zero dashboard load times. Automated prompting and dynamic date filtering enable users to access personalized data without manual steps.

The Differentiation

Strategy's data infrastructure provides multiple security approaches. User groups, folder‑level permissions, and contextual filtering ensure each site receives only the data relevant to its operations. This protects sensitive information while keeping access aligned to each plant’s needs. And as stakeholders introduce new metrics or KPIs, the semantic layer’s vendor‑agnostic architecture allows KDP to update reports and dashboards without rebuilding underlying data logic.

The Application

As a result, Keurig Dr Pepper’s plants now operate within a consistent analytics environment where every metric is governed and aligned. Through automated email distributions, supervisors receive essential data proactively, delivered at the exact moment they need it most.

"The key is trust. If users don't trust the data, they'll go back to their old ways and manually pull from source systems.”

Keurig Dr Pepper’s Single Source of Enterprise Analytics

The Impact

With a stable and scalable data foundation in place, Keurig Dr Pepper has maintained 99.9% uptime for more than a decade, with virtually no calls or emails related to downtime or missing data.

The Future

Building on this foundation, the company is extending its analytics ecosystem by adopting Strategy Mosaic across its multi‑tool data environment. With Power BI, Tableau, and Strategy One all in use, Mosaic will eliminate the need to maintain separate data pipelines and deliver a single source of truth across BI and AI analytics.

The Long-Term Vision

Keurig Dr Pepper plans to integrate offline planning data that currently resides in Excel. By bringing this data into Mosaic alongside system‑generated data, the company will eliminate manual reconciliation and gain clear visibility into how production decisions impact financial outcomes.

"With the flexibility that the Strategy Universal Semantic Layer offered, we were able to seamlessly transition into new data warehouses without any impact to our end users."
