Case Study: Enterprise Retail Company achieves rapid forecasting and automated reporting with Datavail

Enterprise Retailling Company - Customer Case Study

Enterprise Retailling Company, a $4.2B enterprise with 30,000+ employees, faced limited visibility into product sales and inventory, piecemeal planning and budgeting, and inefficient, error-prone financial reporting. DatAvail addressed these issues using Oracle Hyperion products (Hyperion Planning, Hyperion Essbase) and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition to modernize the company’s planning, forecasting and reporting environment.

DatAvail implemented a two-cube Essbase architecture, configured budgeting for 3,500+ stores, moved revenue planning from monthly to weekly, automated flash sales reporting, and centralized reporting with OBIEE—cutting forecasting from weeks to days and enabling multiple scenarios in minutes. The implementation completed ahead of schedule and 15% under budget, improved user satisfaction by 85%, freed analysts from manual Excel work, sped up gross margin calculations, and is tracking to an expected ROI in less than two years.
