Challenges and Solutions
Agropartner first approached Cobit Solutions to help their commercial department create a unified data cube enabling Excel-based analysis. But they soon saw that Excel’s shortcomings—such as processing vast amounts of data and the fixed character of reports—called for a stronger and more interactive answer. To improve their sales analytics, they required a mechanism capable of offering real-time data insights and supporting dynamic reporting.
Cobit Solutions proposed a comprehensive Power BI integration to address Agropartner’s needs:
- Data Integration: Connected to various data sources, including CRM, ERP systems, and Excel spreadsheets, to consolidate information.
- Data Model Creation: Developed a detailed data model within Power BI that allowed for complex calculations and reporting.
- Dashboard Development: Created interactive dashboards for various sales metrics, including performance indicators for sales managers, tracking calls, sales volumes, and client interactions. The dashboards were intended for tracking:
- Sales manager performance metrics.
- Weekly call volumes.
- Sales volumes and forecasts.
- Customer interactions and feedback.
- Financial health and utility expenses.
- Advanced Calculations: Implemented specific measures to handle complex calculations, leveraging ERP data for accurate and detailed analysis.
