Revenue Management Data Foundation & Analytics

Client is a Fortune Global 500company, leading in packaged foods and beverages. It has interests in the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of grain-based snack foods, beverages, and other products.

Challenges

  • No Integrated System for Revenue Reporting: The client faced significant issues due to the lack of a centralized system for revenue reporting. This resulted in fragmented and inconsistent reporting across the organization.
  • Multiple Reporting Systems with Different Data Sources: Various departments relied on different reporting systems, each sourcing data from distinct systems, leading to discrepancies and inefficiencies.
  • No Platform for Self-Service Business Usage: Business users lacked a platform that allowed them to independently access and analyse data, creating bottlenecks and dependency on IT for reports.
  • Decentralized Data Sources on Various Systems: Data was spread across multiple systems without a unified strategy, complicating data retrieval and analysis.

Solutions

  • Data Extraction and Integration: We extracted data from multiple source systems, primarily SAP, ensuring a comprehensive collection of relevant data points.
  • Creating a Data Foundation in HANA Cloud Data Lake: All extracted data was consolidated into the HANA Cloud Data Lake. This provided a scalable and efficient storage solution capable of handling large volumes of data.
  • Data and Business Model Creation in SAP Datasphere: Using SAP Datasphere, we built robust data and business models. This involved organizing the data into meaningful structures that facilitated easy access and analysis.
  • Consumption in Power BI: The final step was to make this data accessible through Power BI. Power BI served as the visualization and reporting tool, providing intuitive and interactive dashboards for end-users.
