Background

Our team was tasked with creating a comprehensive planning and forecasting system for a large organization. The system needed to gather, transform, and aggregate data from various sources, collaborate with both B2B and B2C partners to derive concepts and requirements, visualize data according to business needs, calculate KPIs, model costs for marketing management, and generate reports at various intervals.

Problem

The organization lacked a centralized planning and forecasting system that could effectively gather and analyze data from multiple sources. This led to inefficiencies in decision-making processes and an inability to accurately forecast costs. Additionally, the lack of clear communication between business units and development teams resulted in delays in project timelines.

Solution

We developed a comprehensive planning and forecasting system that integrated data from multiple sources into a centralized platform. Our team collaborated closely with both B2B and B2C partners to ensure that the system met their specific needs. We also designed custom visualizations that allowed stakeholders to easily interpret complex data sets.

To support cost modeling for marketing management, we implemented KPI calculations into the platform. We also established clear lines of communication between business units and development teams through regular presentations to the organization's headquarters and management teams.
