challenge

Manual Processes Lead to Slow Decision Making

A leading global retailer faced a significant roadblock in their transportation engineering operations. Their benchmarking team had a large amount of siloed data spread across multiple systems, leading to inefficient, manual workflows. Without automated quality checks, they struggled with errors and inconsistencies in their reports, which slowed decision-making and hindered progress. The benchmarking team needed help creating robust reporting dashboards to enable better decision-making and uncover deeper insights across the entire transportation engineering organization.
