  • Development of a single Power BI report for the Purchasing department containing all local data.

Results

  • Increase in the frequency of data updates (Monthly update vs. Annual before project).
  • Unified data base for the Purchasing department’s BI.
  • Limiting human actions on data processing for group reporting.
