Client:
Major Medical Supplies Manufacturer

Challenge:
A national medical supplies manufacturer realized the need to consolidate sales report cards & national ranking reports of 39 field operations spread across North America. Multiple data stores as a result of rapid growth and acquisitions contain a fragmented collection of information. Integrating this information has proven difficult because of the sheer volume of information that these data stores contain and because of the inconsistencies in the way data was captured and defined. To get the latest sales information, senior management would call several people and wait days for them to process financial reports that often were out of date by the time they got them.

Solution:
Atidan conducted client requirement study to create a data consolidation and web-based reporting solution for top management to understand the needs, preferences, and purchasing patterns of their customers. The team quickly laid out a plan, analyzed the Key Performance Indicators and translated the requirements into graphical dashboards. Atidan maintained daily client communication and as a result, a comprehensive dashboard solution Crystal Vision Server from Business Objects was successfully delivered in challenging time frame.

Benefits:

The field operations dashboard provides instant visibility into important key performance indicators and customer behavior.
What-if analyses enable managers understand the performance of each location and compare various locations.
Having continuous access to key sales performance metrics allows for instant assessment of the health of the business and the ability to take appropriate actions to remedy issues quickly.
