Case Study: Walmart achieves faster energy analytics reporting with Epoch Online automation

Walmart cuts weekly energy reporting from 2 days to 5-10 minutes with Epoch Online

The customer, Walmart, faced a challenge with its energy provider, Entergy, which was manually compiling extensive weekly energy usage reports. This labor-intensive process required two accounting staff members two full days each to complete. Epoch Online was engaged to automate this analytics reporting.

Epoch Online developed a solution using Microsoft SSIS to pull data from an IBM mainframe and Microsoft technologies to manipulate and present it. This automation reduced the reporting process from a two-day, two-person effort to a simple 5-10 minute task. The solution implemented by Epoch Online freed up professional staff to focus on other valuable work, significantly increasing efficiency.
