The Purchasing Department lacked the necessary insights into the reasons behind excess inventory, leading to suboptimal future purchasing decisions and impacting profitability.

Absence of Centralized Inventory and Financial Data.

Management and executives did not have access to overall health metrics of inventory, including its impact on financial performance, hindering strategic planning and profitability assessments.

Lack of Expertise in Tableau and Data Automation.

The client had no prior expertise in Tableau or data centralization and automation, relying instead on third-party software and Excel for data analysis, limiting their ability to make data-driven decisions that could enhance profitability.

User Experience Deficiencies.

The existing systems did not provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface suitable for both technical and non-technical users, affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of inventory and financial management.

Limited Historical Data Analysis.

The client needed the ability to analyze historical data trends to predict future inventory needs and optimize financial performance, which was not possible with their current setup.
