Business Challenges
- The clients existing sales reporting platform, for both it’s sales staff and management, was based on legacy technology which limited business insight.
- The solution needed to be cost effective, mobile enabled, and extensible while allowing for greater data self discovery.
Solution Delivered

- Other projects: Greatly increased interest in Azure based solutions at the client.
Benefits Delivered
- The client gained greater insight into their sales metrics, including the new ability to track inventory at a store level.
- The success of the POC increased interest in Azure at a senior management level. This included a movement towards supplanting other 3rd party tools, such as Tableau.
