Business Intelligence Dashboard

In May 2020, Banc Sabadell launched Pulso, an app developed by Bestiario, aimed at providing real-time insights into the economic recovery in Spain during COVID-19. The app utilises data from over 270,000 POS terminals in shops across the country, processing more than 4 million transactions.

Sabadell: PULSO

Measuring the Pulse of the post-Covid19 economy

Amid COVID-19, understanding the shifting economic landscape became critical. At Bestiario, we saw an opportunity for Banc Sabadell to address this by developing Pulso, a digital service to track recovery indicators and sectoral impact.

Challenge

Pulso utilises five key indicators to gauge our distance from the pre-crisis situation, the rate of recovery, and the impact on various sectors post-confinement, including tourism and consumer spending. Data is calculated daily, with reliability increasing as the area analysed expands.

The tool aims to provide clear insights into the commercial landscape in Spain at Autonomic, Provincial, Municipal, and District levels. Developed remotely during the confinement period, Pulso also became a source of insights for other departments within the bank, who benefitted from the information on the post-confinement landscape. The goal of the app was to assist economic actors, particularly in the commercial sector, in understanding reality and revitalising activity.

In essence, Pulso served as a beacon of clarity in the midst of economic turbulence, offering a nuanced understanding of the post-crisis landscape and empowering stakeholders to chart a course towards recovery and revitalisation.

Solution

Pulso employed five critical indicators to monitor Spain's economic recovery and assess post-confinement impacts on sectors like tourism and consumer spending. The data, processed daily, covered an increasingly wide geographic area, enhancing the reliability of the insights. Through meticulous analysis of transactions and trends, Pulso's scalable approach ensured that their observations robustly reflected broader economic realities.
