Executive Summary:
Devoteam partnered with the Bluebird Group to revolutionise its data management and analytics capabilities. By implementing a smart analytics solution built on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, Gemini, and BigQuery, we addressed a critical need for faster, more intuitive data access. The project focused on creating a system that would allow both technical and non-technical users to quickly and accurately get answers from their data, moving away from slow, dashboard-dependent processes.
About the customer:
Established in 1972, the Bluebird Group is a leading Indonesian transportation company based in Jakarta. Starting with a fleet of just 25 taxis, the company has grown to become a household name, known for its extensive range of mobility solutions, including its core taxi services (Bluebird and Silverbird), car & bus rentals (Goldenbird & Bigbird), shuttle services (Cititrans), logistics (Bluebird Kirim), car ownership & maintenance (Birdmobil), and auction (Caready). As a pioneer in the Indonesian mobility industry, Bluebird has a history of embracing technology, from being the first to introduce argometer-based tariffs to its early adoption of mobile technology for booking.

The Challenges:
The Bluebird Group’s management team faced significant hurdles in obtaining timely business insights. The existing system, while functional, relied on static dashboards that were difficult to navigate for non-technical users. Key pain points included:
- Slow Data Retrieval: Management’s questions often required a time-consuming process of dashboard navigation or manual data extraction.
- Limited Accessibility: The system was not intuitive for all users, creating a bottleneck where data analysts were constantly fielding requests.
- Building from Scratch: The company required a new, custom-built solution capable of handling complex queries efficiently.
The Solution:
Devoteam’s team leveraged the power of Google Cloud to develop a smart analytics solution that puts data at the fingertips of every user. The architecture is powered by:
- BigQuery: A highly scalable, serverless data warehouse that acts as the single source of truth for all of Bluebird Group’s internal systems.
- Vertex AI: A unified machine learning platform that streamlines the development, deployment, and management of the AI models.
- Gemini AI: Google’s most capable multimodal model, which enables users to ask questions in natural language and receive immediate, accurate responses directly from the data.
This approach eliminated the need for complex dashboards and extensive training, making data access truly democratic.
The Methodology:
Our collaborative approach ensured the solution was perfectly aligned with Bluebird Group’s specific needs.
01
Assessment
We began with a deep dive into management’s requirements, identifying their key pain points, desired data points, and user capabilities.
04
Testing & Optimisation
Rigorous testing was performed to validate the system’s accuracy and performance. We worked closely with the Bluebird Group team to gather feedback and continually optimise the AI’s responses for improved user satisfaction.
02
Design & Development
Our team designed and developed the smart analytics system on Vertex AI, with Gemini AI powering the user interface for natural language queries.
03
Integration
We seamlessly integrated the new system with Bluebird Group’s existing internal systems, with BigQuery centralising all data for efficient processing and analysis.
The Results:
The implementation of Devoteam’s AI analytics solution has had a transformative impact on the Bluebird Group’s data operations. The project has successfully democratised data access, empowering employees at all levels to make faster, more informed decisions without relying on a dedicated technical team.
Key outcomes include:
- Faster, More Accessible Insights: Non-technical users can now get answers from complex data sources instantly, simply by asking questions in natural language, eliminating the need for SQL knowledge or support from the technical team.
- Enhanced Productivity: The system generates useful outputs such as tabular data and degenerated diagrams, providing immediate, clear insights and significantly reducing the time spent on data retrieval and analysis. Users can now perform simple statistical tests on their own, accelerating insight generation and increasing overall productivity.
- True Data Democratisation: Data is no longer a bottleneck. The new system ensures that data needs are met quickly and efficiently, putting the power of data directly into the hands of those who need it most. The result is a more agile, data-driven organisation.
Devoteam’s solution has fundamentally transformed how our top management leverages data. By shifting from a multi-day wait to instant results, we’ve empowered our leaders to make more agile decisions, effectively democratising our data.
