Challenges

  • Manual and Time-Consuming: The manual process is inefficient and can lead to errors due to human intervention.
  • Multiple Data Sources: Relying on data from various systems (HFM, DAPLR, Oracle, Tm1, BI, Excel files) can complicate data consolidation and increase the risk of inconsistencies.
  • Lack of Granular Forecasting: The absence of granular forecasting information for all markets limits the ability to make accurate predictions and strategic decisions.
  • Scattered Information: Data is spread across multiple reports (Brand/Channel/Pack Size PL), making it difficult to get a comprehensive view of performance.
  • Inconsistent Channel Data: Channel-level data is limited and inconsistent, hindering analysis of performance at the channel level.
