Objective Now that we have already implemented OBI and it is being used by almost all the sites to verify their data and MIS team at HO to check Delta, RM Stock, FG stock, customer outstanding at site level, segment level or IVL level etc. So there is a need to locally visualize and analyze this rich data of OBI for local ad-hoc process. To fulfill this requirement we are introducing a new tool at local level to perform this activity. Why Tableau You can create visuals quickly and switch between types easily to find the model that best represents your message.
Tableau defaults are based on best practices, so your initial result
contains good color combinations and layout.
The user interface is well-organized so you can customize the
view with a few clicks vs. multiple menus, etc.
It gives those with an analytical mindset the ability to analyze
data without having to navigate technical obstacles such as SQL, coding, etc. Source Generate CSV file exported directly from our present ETL program for OBI. The CSV file will be for sales data, Order data, Customer ageing, FG Stock Methodology and Strategy CSV for each unit will be Extracted and granted access to the respective site users , Such that everyday at scheduled time it will be synched to the user laptop/PC.
