The client, a company that mixes and delivers cement to customers across South Australia, was pulling together daily reporting on the operational efficiency of each of their locations by combining data from their labor management software, Wageloch, and their sales management software, Dorner. Data was manually compiled in Excel using exports from each system, creating attached costs around timeliness of updating the data, labor overhead in report production and potential for entry error when populating the report. To address these issues, a Power BI reporting solution was constructed with automated connections to both softwares to provide timely data updates, improved data accuracy and removal of overheads in report production.
A triggering event for this engagement was the amount of labor involved in keeping the report up to date, with timeliness of data becoming a hurdle to quickly actioning insights. Extraction and manual transformation of data from both reporting systems consumed considerable time each week for accounting staff.
The solution implemented included:
The implemented solution completely automated the reporting process for the client, seamlessly tying together data from their labour and sales management softwares, as well as enabling easily configurable manual inputs for commentary and operational efficiency targets.
