Home Improvement Retailer Slashes Sales and Performance Reporting Times
Challenge
Mitre 10 operates more than 80 home improvement and garden stores across New Zealand. Each of its stores was producing considerable amounts of valuable data, such as monthly sales figures, purchasing numbers and selling information. Yet despite having plenty of data, the retailer lacked a way of analysing all this information to gain actionable insights.
Solution
Logility has helped Mitre 10 consolidate various data sources into a single repository using data warehousing. The Logility platform is compatible with the company’s existing SQL Server, with most of the data coming from its ERP system on IBM iSeries.
Colleagues across the company can now analyse information by specific departmental or functional requirements, which reduces the burden of reporting on Mitre 10’s IT team.
Impact
Logility’s advanced analytics and reporting platform enables Mitre 10 to generate complex sales and performance reports in a matter of minutes, far quicker than its previous manual efforts.
Managers at Mitre 10 can now make data-driven decisions based on accurate and timely information, and no longer have to rely on instinct or gut feeling.
