Bringing Saudi’s Workforce Data Under One Narrative Ecosystem
Takamol Holding in Saudi Arabia launched Qiwa as a central hub for labor-market insights, connecting billions of data points across public and private sectors. Despite this wealth of information, leadership and external stakeholders faced an uphill battle: data remained scattered across thousands of dashboards, creating fragmented views and an overreliance on technical teams. Pixonal stepped in to unify these isolated silos through a narrative-first, time-and-location-based platform—enabling leaders to seamlessly navigate workforce trends, seasonal events (like Hajj), and national initiatives under a single, coherent framework.
Challenge: Unifying Thousands of Dashboards
Qiwa’s existing setup forced users to switch between numerous dashboards for even the simplest questions. Departments operated in silos—each with its own metrics, visualizations, and naming conventions. This resulted in:
Non-technical teams constantly requested tweaks or fresh analyses, slowing business responsiveness.
Seasonal phenomena (e.g., Hajj workforce influx) remained buried in separate dashboards, preventing holistic understanding.
Visiting delegations or leadership found it cumbersome to get unified workforce overviews—undermining Saudi Arabia’s ability to highlight its labor-market achievements.
Our Approach:
A Narrative-First, Topic-Based Platform
Location & Time Integration
Rather than siloed visuals, we built a system that lets users filter data by city, region, or time period (annual, monthly, or event-specific) in a single click. This gave leadership a flexible lens—whether focusing on national labor distribution or zooming into a region’s seasonal workforce.
Topic-Driven Ecosystem
We replaced rigid dashboards with a browser of narratives, where data is organized by topics (e.g., *حرية النقل*, *تمكين المرأة*, or *نطاقات* compliance). Each topic story connects seamlessly to relevant metrics—age/gender distribution, salary ranges, or sector breakdowns—turning raw data into a guided storyline.
Unified Governance & Automated Ingestion
Hundreds of data sources now flow into an automated ingestion pipeline, drastically reducing manual prep. We layered robust governance and token-based metadata controls to ensure consistent definitions and security across all narratives, letting multiple departments collaborate without risking data integrity.
Command-Center & Executive Briefings
To accommodate top-profile visitors and high-level decision-makers, we designed a command-center experience that visually “travels” through time, place, and workforce categories. Leadership can instantly pivot from KSA-wide overviews to specific local stats or event-driven insights (like Hajj), all without waiting on IT.
Key Features & Highlights
Seasonal Focus
Tackles the seasonality challenge by highlighting workforce fluctuations and event-driven impacts (Hajj, national holidays) in a narrative flow.
Immersive, Non-Technical Experience
Automated workflows ensure no coding is required. Departments can add, edit, or explore data in an interactive storytelling format.
Initiatives Alignment
Narratives map data to Saudi’s workforce programs (حرية النقل, تمكين المرأة, etc.), showing progress, gaps, and future targets in one screen.
Location & Sector Synergy
Data can be viewed by nationality, region, or industry—fostering cross-department understanding and strategic alignment.
Impact: A Unified Ecosystem for Rapid, Meaningful Insights
Leadership-Centric Showcases
Decision-makers now have a dynamic story-driven interface, allowing them to visualize workforce distribution, link it to active initiatives, and easily spot operational gaps.
Reduced IT Bottlenecks
By migrating from thousands of static dashboards to a single, narrative-based environment, data teams are free to focus on higher-value tasks—predictive analytics, advanced modeling, and long-term innovation.
Streamlined Collaboration
Ministries, private-sector entities, and external visitors experience consistent definitions and data quality—minimizing confusion and duplicative reporting. Seasonal trends, time-based fluctuations, and city-level specifics become part of a single shared language.
Immersive Command-Center Experience
A centralized command room fosters on-the-spot engagement for high-profile visits, showcasing the workforce ecosystem in a visually compelling manner—strengthening global partnerships and increasing transparency about Saudi Arabia’s labor environment.
The Road Ahead: Shaping a Future-Ready Labor Platform
With Qiwa’s workforce data consolidated into one cohesive storytelling framework, Takamol Holding can scale seamlessly as new initiatives and policy directives emerge. By integrating time, place, and narratives, Saudi Arabia’s labor market becomes more accessible—empowering leaders to address challenges proactively, capitalize on emerging opportunities, and deliver a strategic, adaptable ecosystem that sets new benchmarks in how labor data is understood and leveraged.
