Custom Data Visualization Enables Supply Chain Leader With Intelligent Business Decision-Making

Solution: Combine and Visualize Data

Data aggregation and visualization was the only way to derive intelligence from data across entities, divisions, customers, regions, and representatives. At Emtec Digital, our data engineers delivered a solution based on the MS Azure ecosystem. We leveraged Power BI for enhanced business intelligence. This solution pulled data from various sources and provided insights across multiple parameters.

The new solution allowed visualization of data based on desired filters. For example, the sales reports generated were categorized by branch, customer, resource, and representative quota. Other reports such as a flash report (overview across all entities), profit analysis, vendor spend, damage ratio, entity shipment reports, etc also enhanced overall operational insights. As part of data aggregation, a unique ID was assigned to individuals / resources that are involved with more than one entity to track their performance across the group.

We leveraged some advanced Power BI features to obtain a summary of various customers, departments, sales representatives, locations & divisions, charge codes, and vendor types. A provision was made to upload external data that had to be added daily through spreadsheets. It included details of overall budgets, sales representative budgets, and damage claims.
