Let’s keep it simple. Everyone knows LEGO®—those little bricks you can use to build anything, from a small house to a grand fantasy castle. But what if I told you that businesses with a lot of data, especially in the floriculture sector, need a similar system? Not physical LEGO, but digital LEGO—better known as a data warehouse.

Structuring With LEGO®

Below, you will find an overview of the different stages of data structuring with LEGO.

1. Raw Data

A chaotic pile of LEGO bricks. The data is there, but it’s unstructured and not yet usable.

Next step: sorting and adding structure.

2. Sorted Data

The bricks are grouped by color. Data is now categorized, but there’s still no real connection.

Next step: structuring and linking the data.

3. Structured Data

The bricks are stacked. The data is logically organized and ready for analysis.

Next step: connecting and visualizing.

4. Usable Data

A solid structure with a figurine on top. The data has been processed, combined, and is now ready for insights and decision-making. The figurine represents a visualization tool, such as Power BI.

What Is a Data Warehouse?

Think of a large box filled with LEGO bricks. Each brick represents a piece of data: orders, customer information, inventory, market trends, costs. Individual bricks are valuable, but if they’re scattered everywhere, they become obstacles, and you can’t see the bigger picture.

A data warehouse is that box—it collects, organizes, and prepares all your blocks for building. It’s a central hub where all the critical information from your business is structured and always accessible.

Why Does the Floriculture Industry Need This?

Floriculture moves fast. Orders change constantly, prices fluctuate, and you need the right stock in the right place at the right time. But how can you do that if your information is scattered? Especially now, with the growing need for forward-looking insights on reservations.

With a well-structured data warehouse, you can combine all these fragmented pieces and turn them into actionable insights. Just like LEGO transforms loose bricks into a strong structure, a data warehouse builds a solid foundation for your business.

This leads to:

From Loose Data to a Sustainable Framework

Common concerns in the industry include: "We don’t have time, the organization isn’t ready, we probably won’t use it much." But let’s be honest—can you afford not to? The businesses that will thrive in five years are the ones that start building today.

LEGO® for Your Business

At Debo, we help floriculture companies set up data warehouses that truly work—not complex, not overpriced, but practical and efficient. So you no longer trip over scattered bricks, but instead have a solid foundation for growth and success.
