Brief
The Kaspersky Affiliations Project is a centralized affiliate reporting and automation platform developed to streamline affiliate data collection, processing, and reporting across multiple global affiliate networks. The solution automated manual reporting workflows using browser automation, API integrations, and workflow orchestration, enabling centralized visibility, multi-currency transaction handling, scalable network onboarding, and improved operational efficiency through a unified reporting ecosystem.
The Challenge
Kaspersky’s affiliate reporting operations relied on multiple third-party affiliate platforms, each with its own reporting structure, authentication flow, currency format, and dashboard experience. Teams were required to manually log into multiple portals, generate reports, download spreadsheets, clean data, and consolidate reports into a unified business view.
The fragmented workflow created operational inefficiencies, delayed reporting cycles, and increased the risk of data inconsistencies. Additionally, onboarding new affiliate networks required repeated engineering effort due to inconsistent schemas and reporting formats across platforms.
The challenge was to build a centralized, scalable platform capable of automating affiliate data extraction, standardizing reporting structures, handling multi-currency transactions, and providing unified visibility across all affiliate ecosystems.
Proposed Solution
We designed and developed a centralized affiliate reporting and automation platform to streamline data extraction, processing, reporting, and administrative management across multiple affiliate ecosystems.
The solution combined browser automation, API integrations, Apache Airflow orchestration, and dynamic transaction processing to automate affiliate reporting workflows end-to-end. A modular architecture was implemented to support scalable onboarding of affiliate networks while maintaining flexibility for different reporting structures and authentication mechanisms.
Using PostgreSQL JSONB-based dynamic schema management, the platform was able to standardize transactional data without requiring repeated database redesigns. Centralized dashboards and reporting modules provided unified visibility into affiliate performance, transaction data, and financial reporting across multiple global networks.
