Business Problem
The company was looking to increase its investment and development of Data Analytics substantially. After internally conducting a small pilot exercise, they were searching for a corporate partner to guide and assist them in a specialised area of data analytics. The company recognised its data was disparate and isolated in various business systems across its Asia-Pacific operations.
They had enterprise resource planning in SAP, custom-designed in-house manufacturing systems, health and safety systems, a financial planning global system, human resources, supply chain systems and many more - all being utilised separately. There was a pressing need to have an aggregated regional view of their systems in place to support management decisions.
Project Objectives
Gain a regional view of all their disparate data sources and systems.
Provide application and dashboard access for leadership through mobile and desktops.
Monitor and predict sales trends and forecasting analysis.
Approach & Solution
“Infonyx worked with our technology and business teams in an onshore-offshore ‘Analytics as a Service’ model delivering a regional view of our busines across the Asia-Pacific.”
The service included an end-to-end delivery to extract, integrate, and visualise data. We also provided ongoing support for:
Finance, Sales & Marketing - Monthly financial reporting, daily sales & profit analysis.
Supply Chain, Daily Production, Manufacturing Plant Production.
Human Resources, Health & Safety.
The project team leveraged an AGILE delivery approach with incremental delivery of data and business capabilities. The initial solution was delivered on-premises and migrated to the Infonyx Cloud Platform. By providing them access via the Infonyx Smart Data Cloud Platform it enabled mobility (Access anywhere, anytime) for 200+ users across the region.
