Business Challenge
ATEEPL Operational Challenges
The complete sales data was captured in excel sheets which was loosely integrated. It was difficult to address client order or service call status because data was spilled over at different places. The other major problem was to consolidate data from different locations & Principals, using different formats, work on it and prepare a report for senior management. The major challenges faced were:
Manage the sales & service of product master of more than half a million products.
Streamline and update existing Sales and Service processes.
Bring synergy between Sales and Services processes.
Consolidation of humongous data coming from different data sources.
Elimination of repetitive efforts of data consolidation and analysis.
