Generative AI-Powered Query Application for a Leading FMCG Company

Natural Language Query Solution Improves Visibility and Sales Performance

Challenge

The client is looking for a solution that enables their sales and distribution teams to query client and sales data in natural language, specifically in Spanish. With extensive customer and sales information stored in a data warehouse, they need a GenAI-driven tool to easily access insights that will help them better understand customer needs and identify new sales opportunities. They chose IT Convergence as their implementation partner not only for our technical expertise but also for our proven ability to align IT with business objectives, with a focus on achieving tangible outcomes.

Solution

IT Convergence proposed a GenAI-powered Natural Language Query (NLQ) solution to help distributors and internal sales teams gain insights into customer and sales data. A key challenge was managing project complexity, which depended on data quality. ITC presented two options: using the Gemini LLM with BigQuery for Spanish-language queries or Gemini Assistant for BigQuery, which supports English and uses Vertex AI. The final choice was based on accuracy and cost-effectiveness. The solution aimed to make querying sales data easier for business users, providing tabular outputs that could be exported to Excel or visualized in Looker.
