The company was unable to efficiently analyze the large volume of data from its warehouse, which contained almost 100,000 different articles. This was a significant challenge as the organization was not capable of analyzing all the reports manually. The company was also reliant on outside vendors for system maintenance and modifications, which was not ideal. The company needed a solution that could automate the data analysis process, increase operational efficiency, and reduce reliance on outside vendors. Read More
