Case Study: PepsiCo reduces analysis time by up to 70% and cuts report production time by up to 90% with Tableau Software

PepsiCo cuts analysis time by up to 90% with Tableau + Trifacta

PepsiCo’s Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR) team needed to reconcile disparate retailer and internal data—each using different standards and identifiers—to produce accurate sales forecasts. Relying on Excel and custom Access tools made reports slow, error-prone, and in some cases took months to prepare, risking stockouts, wasted inventory, and lost sales.

PepsiCo implemented Trifacta for data wrangling, Hortonworks Hadoop for staging, and Tableau for analytics and visualizations. The integrated solution standardized data, caught errors earlier, and enabled faster analysis—cutting end-to-end run time by up to 70% and report production time by as much as 90%—so teams deliver actionable insights quickly and gain a competitive advantage in retail.
