Case Study

Overview

The company developed a fully integrated Power BI based solution to provide actionable insights to increase the profitability of its customers spanning across multiple locations and operating with diverse data sources.

Challenges

The company was struggling with understanding how to help their customers increase profits. They needed advanced business analytics and reporting to gain valuable insights into how to adjust each customer’s custom pricing to gain profitability. As an added challenge, their customer data existed in multiple locations and required consolidation to transform the data into actionable insights to increase profits.

The Solution

The company decided to implement an integrated Power BI solution. Here's how it brought about a transformative change:

  • Data Integration: All of company’s data sources were integrated into a centralized Power BI dashboard. This allowed for a timely, holistic view of all key performance indicators.
  • Advanced Analytics: Reporting and analytics on all customer gross profit margins. This included data that existed in both SharePoint and Dynamics
  • Interactive Dashboards: Several ways for users to calculate different variable costs (i.e., shipping costs, labor, and packaging) for specific customers, and by specific date ranges
  • Actionable Insights: Self-service functionality for users to adjust modeling for forecasting.
