Business Expansion Causes Challenges
As Ozsale grew and expanded, its ability to track sales by product line and obtain reports about the performance of the business became a significant challenge. Ozsale's main warehouses in Sydney, Los Angeles and the UK receive 20,000 garments per day, and then distribute those garments to various locations across Australia and Asia Pacific. Ozsale's previous system was developed in-house and involved excel and other programs. The problem with this system was the number of reports required was never ending and the ability to get data needed was too slow.
Ozsale needed a tool that would allow them to:
1.Obtain Sales History easily and quickly about particular sales, brands and product line.
2.Monitor warehouse operations and provide reports back to suppliers about the performance of their brands and products
3.Budgeting and forecasting so managers could quickly assess where things are at with the business and what sort of decisions need to be taken about its future.
Saving Time and Reducing Complexity
To address their reporting and data analysis needs, Ozsale turned to Phocas BI for a solution. Since implementing Phocas, OzSale has had the ability to analyze large amounts of data in a few simple clicks. Managers can now start every morning checking previous day sales numbers allowing them to quickly build out budgets and forecasts.
