Case Study: a leading pulp and paper company optimizes supply chain inventory with OvalEdge

Leading Pulp and Paper Company - Customer Case Study

A leading pulp and paper company sought to optimize its supply chain by reducing inventory levels but faced significant challenges. The project involved complex and changing requirements and a vast amount of data from numerous sources. With 30 different subject matter experts and a high turnover of contracted Hadoop developers, it was nearly impossible to maintain a consistent understanding of their data, hindering progress.

The company implemented OvalEdge to catalog its entire supply chain data lake and document its data. OvalEdge provided immediate data profiling insights that made workshop sessions highly productive and offered crucial onboarding material for new developers. The platform proved vital during a cluster migration, where its profiling feature helped identify and quickly resolve a critical data type issue. The solution enabled the client to gain profound data insights and continue its supply chain optimization project effectively.
