What’s more critical for an e-commerce business than seamless data analysis and real-time operational insights? Crafting a solution that does it all! Let’s see how we made it happen.
About the Client
Our client, a leading e-commerce company in the US, was facing challenges in making clear business decisions. In their warehouse, they struggled with tracking orders in real-time and making accurate sales comparisons. This lack of clear, visual data and an easy-to-use dashboard led to inefficiencies in understanding sales trends and managing inventory effectively.
Business Challenges:
In the fast-moving e-commerce industry, clear data and efficient warehouse management are essential. The client faced difficulties, including:
- Lack of Real-Time Tracking: Delays in tracking warehouse orders, such as picking, packing, and shipping, made it hard to monitor operations.
- Sales Comparison Complexities: Using the NRF calendar, which starts from the first Sunday in February, complicated sales reporting and comparison between different periods.
- Inefficient Data Analysis Tools: Data from different departments wasn’t consolidated efficiently, causing delays in decision-making and limiting quick responses to market changes.
