Process optimization with Power BI
Challenge
"The challenge we had was that we needed a new Sales Reporting system. Our sales reporting relied on Excel and manual updates. It was time-consuming, and we only received monthly updates. Our desire was for daily updates and for it to run more automatically. And for it to be visually better."
Solution
"We are very pleased with the solution that was delivered. It fully meets our expectations and has a simplicity that we appreciate. The sales reporting consists of small report pages, each displaying different product categories. There is one report page for each product category.
In the process of development, Dataminds has been very transparent in their work with and around Power BI. Consequently, we now have knowledge of what constitutes best practices in working with the tool. This enables us to have a scalable setup that can support further efforts to integrate Power BI into other parts of the organization, where we have several ideas to expand the solution.
We have had discussions with Dataminds about continuing our collaboration, as we are pleased with it."
Value
"The greatest value in the solution lies in the fact that branch directors across the country now have greater insight into the performance of their businesses and where they need to focus their efforts."
The Power BI platform was new to us. We had no prior experience with it. Dataminds introduced us to that mindset and the platform, allowing us to progress more rapidly. The advantage of using external consultants like Dataminds is that they can tap into multiple expertise sources throughout the process, given their numerous collaborators.
I quickly realized that we could establish a sensible collaboration. The mode of cooperation involves direct contact, it's informal, and there's no need for extensive analysis before taking action. This aligns well with the values we uphold at the bank: Simplicity & Action. We strive to live up to them. With Dataminds, we experienced that there is a short distance from thought to action, and we quickly see results.
To summarize, the things I appreciate about collaborating with Dataminds are: direct communication, an informal tone, a short distance from thought to action, and valuable input on ideas. I would definitely recommend Dataminds without any hesitation. They are pleasant individuals to work with, and I've only been positively surprised by their performance."
