Case Study: Bauer Hockey achieves 83% productivity increase and boosts data value with DataRails

Bauer Hockey Increases Productivity by 83% and Boosts Value of Data

Bauer Hockey, a leading global manufacturer of ice hockey equipment that holds 60% of the U.S. market, struggled with a time-consuming, error-prone process of consolidating monthly sales Excel files from dozens of retailers that each used different templates. Facing endless hours spent checking and merging spreadsheets and no time to build dashboards or analyze trends, Bauer turned to DataRails to standardize and modernize its Excel-based reporting.

DataRails transformed Bauer Hockey’s Excel files into an automated enterprise solution, using backend databasing, template-flexible consolidation, interactive financial dashboards, and anomaly highlighting while keeping Bauer’s familiar Excel workflow. The DataRails solution delivered immediate results — Bauer increased productivity by 83%, reduced errors, gained faster, actionable insights and greater confidence in its data, and moved from manual consolidation to a hands-off reporting process.
