Project objectives
A unified view of data to improve business performance

The company needed to gain control and governance of various areas to maximize productivity, improve business performance, and have a unified view of corporate data.

  • Commercial Area: there was a need to acquire data from both the distribution center goods cycle and the sales network goods cycle;
  • Human Resources Area: needed to acquire payroll and attendance data and cross-reference them with sales data, in order to improve productivity;
  • Management Control Area: required the production of corporate income statements and sales outlet income statements that would provide not only a detailed view but also a unified Group view and a consistent view across formats/channels. It also required oversight of the forecasting and budgeting processes.
