The Challenge

A leading FMCG enterprise faced significant hurdles in their monthly sales reporting process:

  • Manual Data Extraction: Reliance on cumbersome manual exports from SAP.
  • Fragile Excel Spreadsheets: Prone to errors and frequent data integrity issues.
  • Delayed Insights: Reporting took up to 5 days, delaying campaign and business-critical decisions.

This inefficient process hindered the agility needed for timely campaign adjustments and strategic decisions.

This solution provided executives and analytics teams with accurate, timely, and actionable insights.
