THE CHALLENGE
Data collection for sales forecasts
In an increasingly globalized market, companies selling clothing, toys, and specialized food products must work with an extensive network of resellers and thousands of individual distributors.
This includes managing stock and evaluating sales data across multiple regions, languages, and currencies. Our customer manufactures and sells toys around the world via branded stores, major conglomerates, and smaller retailers.
With so many sales channels, their Business Intelligence team struggled to build sales forecasts that would accurately reflect global conditions as well as the unique requirements and fluctuations within regional markets. Collecting data required manually retrieving consumer information and operational metrics, such as inventory and sales data, from retailer portals. The process was slow and delays in delivering these market insights could impact the customer’s agility to flex production to meet demand.
THE SOLUTION
Streamlining data retrieval
To improve sales forecasting, the company needed an automation solution that could streamline data retrieval from a wide range of retailer portals. The plan was to implement Leapwork’s no-code automation platform, which would enable the Business Intelligence team to easily design and maintain workflows for extracting and processing sales, inventory, and consumer data.
By automating the collection of this data, the company aimed to eliminate the delays and inefficiencies of manual reporting. Leapwork’s intuitive platform allowed the team to build these processes quickly, adapt them as business needs evolved, and integrate them seamlessly into their global insights engine for faster, more accurate analysis.
THE IMPACT
Automating data gathering
Leapwork is a scalable way for the Business Intelligence team to build automated processes that will extract data from many retailer portals and synthesize it into comprehensive reports. These are then delivered to the global ‘insights engine’ for analysis.
Thanks to Leapwork’s easy-to-use visual automation builder, our customer’s business intelligence teams can quickly automate the process of gathering data from retailer portals and update those processes quickly as needs change. Crucially, the global insights engine receives data faster and more reliably and can transform this data into insights that inform strategy.
