Case Study: Leading Distribution Company achieves accurate business reporting and forecasting with Apps Associates

Leading Distributor Uses OBIA for Accurate Business Reporting and Forecasting

Leading Distribution Company, a community of independent distributors and manufacturers of construction and industrial products, needed a better way to produce business performance and forecasting reports. Data quality and integration issues across Lawson and other databases forced the company to rely on error-prone spreadsheets, while its custom data warehouse suffered from performance issues, low user adoption, and limited scalability.

Apps Associates implemented Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OBIA) Financial Analytics, building a customized Lawson adaptor and enhanced reports in Oracle BI 11g. Apps Associates also improved data quality, added error handling, and provided training for administrators and end users. As a result, decision makers gained trusted data, more accurate reports and forecasts, improved decision making, and increased margins.
