Client

Client Background

Founded in the early 20th century, our client is a renowned Packaged-Food-Manufacturer that is loved by people and their pets across the globe. Creating a wide range of flavours and confections, our client has set the bar for consumer expectations higher and constantly comes up with innovative products to maintain their standards. Constantly evolving to suit their target audience, our client’s vision for sustainability is expected to significantly impact the market, drastically reducing the carbon footprint!

Requirement

With its presence in over 80+ countries, our client needed a system that collects, accumulates, and analyzes the global sales data by monitoring the supplier pipeline across different regions. This system needs to be simple, responsive, and highly fluid for easy navigation and better results.

Problems

Business Challenges

01.

It is relatively challenging to define the number of suppliers in the market and their effect on the overall sales of the product

02.

The efficiency of the system is determined by the quality of the data from the suppliers. Often, there is a margin of error in real-time scenarios that could eventually tamper with the overall approach

03.

Consolidation of data across different categories of products and suppliers is challenging

04.

Lack of a drill-down approach, making the whole process difficult

Methodologies

Our Process

01

Understanding the supplier’s role

To ensure a business-centric data strategy, our priority is to understand the role of the suppliers in the process as they bridge the client’s product and the market

02

Accumulating and organizing their data

We built an adaptive and dynamic data system that can accumulate data from different entry points and organize them accordingly

03

Filtering crucial data from the bunch

Crucial data is almost always hidden in plain sight. Our analytics system helps our client to identify repetitive patterns and pivotal data that has a huge impact on the whole process

04

Creating a minimalistic visualization tool

Leveraging app development, we aimed for a visualization tool that transcends different hierarchies within and outside the client’s organization
