Empowering Service-Driven Sectors with Advanced Data Insights

NolijWork, a Northern Ireland-based start-up, innovates within the “Future of Work” space by using data analytics to boost efficiency for public sector clients, including housing associations and social care organisations.

The Challenge

NolijWork needed an effective way to visualise extensive, intricate datasets, enabling clients to identify operational inefficiencies and improve service delivery. Traditional data visualisation methods lacked the depth required for meaningful insights, creating a need for more sophisticated data analytics and machine learning techniques. With complex data from service-driven sectors, NolijWork sought a solution that would empower its clients with actionable, clear, and valuable insights to enhance decision-making.

The Solution

Partnering with Hartree NI Hub, NolijWork adopted a comprehensive data solution approach. This included:
  1. Data Cleaning & Preparation: Removing irrelevant columns and addressing missing values for improved data integrity.
  2. Data Analysis: Ensuring consistency by normalising data and tackling multicollinearity for robust results.
  3. Advanced Modelling: Utilising multiple linear regression and Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) to pinpoint the primary drivers of n satisfaction.
  4. Visualisation: Leveraging Python libraries like Matplotlib and Seaborn, the Hartree team created detailed visualisations, including correlation plots, making complex data patterns more comprehensible.
