Logistics Management Challenges and
How Power BI Solves Them

Before partnering with us, the transportation and logistics company faced numerous operational challenges. Managing a fleet of rented wagons without an effective tracking system led to inefficiencies and rising costs. The company struggled to track wagon turnover rates, manage repair schedules, and monitor financial transactions effectively. By lacking business intelligence logistics solutions, they found it difficult to optimize processes and make informed, data-driven decisions in real-time.

We addressed these issues with Power BI dashboards tailored to the company’s needs. These provided real-time insights into:

  • Wagon Turnover Cycles: Tracking trips for optimal utilization and profitability.
  • Repair Management: Monitoring repair times and costs, reducing downtime.
  • Financial Transactions: Providing clear visibility into payments and cash flow for streamlined operations.

We transformed raw data into actionable insights, enabling the company to enhance logistics efficiency and improve overall performance.
