Looker Studio Pro: an Acid Labs success story

How we implemented Looker Studio Pro to decentralize the control of reports, users, and data sources in an airline, guaranteeing autonomy, cost reduction, and without losing the quality of data assets.

Client​


Leading multinational company in the airline sector, with a complex and distributed logistics operation in the region.

The Challenge


The airline was looking for a solution that would allow it to reduce licensing costs while simultaneously increasing the autonomy of its teams in creating and managing reports.
The use of their existing analytical tool (Looker) presented limitations that impacted scalability and the speed of decision-making:


  • High licensing costs.
  • High learning curve.
  • Reports did not belong to the organization, but to individual users, which affected continuity (in the case of Looker Studio).

The challenge was to intelligently migrate to a platform that maintained advanced functionality but transferred ownership of the assets to the company, ensuring governance.


The solution: smart migration to Looker Studio Pro


The solution implemented by Acid Labs focused on modernizing the airline's data ecosystem with the strategic incorporation of Looker Studio Pro:


✅ Centralized architecture and governance


A data product was created that centralizes the control of reports, users, and sources, transferring asset ownership to the organization. This recovered one of Looker's richest functionalities: report metadata.

  • Implementation of Shared Workspaces for collaborative and secure management.
  • Integration with Google Cloud for complete governance and traceability.


Autonomy and Operational Efficiency

Key Looker Studio Pro functionalities were enabled to empower business teams and streamline the delivery of insights:

  • Use of configurable Smart alerts and automatic report delivery.
  • Integration of Gemini AI to accelerate insights with natural language and assistance in formula creation.


Concrete results

In just 3 months we achieved:


Significant savings in licensing costs, by drastically reducing the use of Looker.


Autonomy and continuity, by transferring report ownership to the company, eliminating dependence on individual users.  


Agility in decisions, thanks to more accessible reports, real-time alerts, and more intuitive user experiences.


Scalability in data management, with centralized control and usage traceability.

Our Approach
