The purpose of the Customer Data Ingestion Pipeline is to aggregate customer data from various sources, including Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and business APIs. This diverse data ingestion enables retailers to create a comprehensive profile of their customers, facilitating effective personalization strategies. The architecture consists of a robust data pipeline that normalizes incoming data before storing it in a centralized data warehouse. The ingestion process involves several key steps: first, data is extracted from the identified sources; next, it undergoes normalization to ensure consistency across different formats; then, quality control checks are applied to validate data integrity and accuracy. These checks include duplicate detection and validation against predefined business rules. The processed data is then stored in the data warehouse, where it can be accessed for analytics and reporting. Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) such as ingestion success rate and processing time provides insights into the efficiency of the pipeline. In case of ingestion failures, a recovery mechanism is in place to ensure data continuity. The outputs of this DAG include enriched customer profiles and analytics reports that drive targeted marketing campaigns. By leveraging this pipeline, retailers can significantly enhance their customer engagement strategies, ultimately leading to improved sales and customer loyalty.
