Initially the company used Microsoft Excel for creating and viewing reports, but the process of report creation was complex, tiring and time-consuming. Therefore the company was looking for ways how to make the process simpler and more efficient.
Microsoft Power BI: The measuring tool for your business
The success story of the MEISTARS shop. Together with ELVA from 2005.
The implemented solutions
The Microsoft Power BI analytics tool was selected as the most suitable solution. The ELVA specialists created the data exchange structure – data obtained from the Horizon system were imported into Power BI where they were transformed into data visualizations. As a result, the MEISTARS employees and management obtained reports that allowed analyzing sales data and understanding the sales process for each group of products.
