Case Study: a national retailer improves inventory visibility and sales with Point B and Tableau

A National Retailer Rocks Its Inventory with Tableau

The national retailer faced a significant challenge with a lack of visibility into its inventory across the supply chain. This blind spot led to poor purchasing decisions, including cancelling necessary orders and placing unnecessary ones, which hurt sales and profitability. The retailer engaged Point B to implement a data-driven solution using Tableau to address these issues.

Point B developed a robust data model and reporting suite in Tableau that integrated data from SAP and third-party logistics providers. This solution provided a holistic view of inventory, enabling the client to avoid out-of-stock situations and understand item-level costs. As a result, the retailer experienced increased sales, such as by proactively moving raingear ahead of a storm, and empowered its merchants with self-service analytics for faster, data-driven decisions.
