How a consumer goods company replaced stale reports with one live dashboard
A consumer goods company pulled data from ERP, warehouse logs and sales spreadsheets, so a full operational picture took days of manual work and was stale by the time it arrived. We built one real-time dashboard over the existing systems, focused on the few metrics that drive decisions.

data freshness, was 30+ days
of truth across departments
Challenge
Three systems gave three answers, and reports were stale by the time they were compiled.
What we built
One real-time dashboard over the existing ERP, warehouse and sales data.
Result
One trusted view, with margin leaks visible as they happen.
The challenge
The ops team pulled data from ERP, warehouse logs and sales spreadsheets every week, the kind of manual reporting that costs mid-market teams 15 to 20 hours a week. Without real-time visibility, pricing errors, shipping overcharges and slow-moving stock ran undetected until month-end. Sales said revenue was up, finance said margins were down, warehouse said fill rates were fine: three systems, three answers.
What we built
- Connected the existing ERP, spreadsheets and operational systems into one real-time view.
- Covered sales, inventory, logistics and margin in a single dashboard.
- Focused the build on the 3 to 5 metrics that drive decisions, delivered as a 6-week sprint, not a 12-month warehouse project.

The outcome
For the first time the whole company worked from one set of numbers. Margin leaks that used to hide until month-end became visible in real time, and decisions stopped resting on conflicting reports.
