Client Overview
To maximize the returns from every deal, the client required a robust reporting interface that would capture equipment sales on monthly, quarterly, and yearly bases. Delivering an impressive array of medical equipment and devices, the client has helped healthcare businesses improve their outcomes. To realize its vision of having an intuitive and beautiful sales dashboard, the client teamed up with our Power BI experts. Once the platform went live, the client's sales force used data visualization to do sales forecasting and optimize its marketing and selling strategies. Business Needs
The reporting feature provides sales forecast in a better way and allows the client to achieve increased profitability on each sale. The report provides an overview to the client of their sale of healthcare equipment from multiple aspects like the product, customer, geography etc. The reports allow the business managers get a pulse on how healthcare equipment business is doing and provides them ability to dive deeper into the data to efficiently identify the marketing strategies for increased sales.The reports quickly address the some of the key business issues like:
- Are the current sales trends meeting the organizational goals?
- Which products and regions are performing the best, and which are worst.
- The profit and loss data compared to last month,
- Quarter or yearly return on investment over a specified period.
- Which sales channels are outperforming the others and who are the top customers of the business.
Strategy & Solution
Our developers worked to design a dashboard with filter functionalities so that the client could apply an appropriate filter, like the actual sales realized against the sales target, or comparing the sales data for the current quarter with the previous one, and also on monthly and yearly basis.
Front-end With healthcare equipment sales reporting, the company gained the agility to respond quickly to the changing market demands and predict opportunities for the sales force. The business also gained a better understanding of their overall sales data throughout the organization, and across its multiple branch locations. A big pain point for the sales managers is trying to find information of a prospective sales history at a crucial juncture in the sales process, which often leads to dissatisfied customers and wasted opportunities. This was one of the challenges that we faced.
Backend Our developers worked at the backend of the app to provide sales reporting and analytics to allow the clients make smarter and faster decisions for the business to obtain incremented ROI. They worked to at the backend using latest tools and techniques to present the sales data in easy to understand visual formats with ability to customize the reporting data to extract business insight. We worked to achieve the below:
Development process We had to ensure that there was no missing information, be it about the status of an opportunity at the front end, or outdated customer contact information. If the sales pipeline is missing this information then the forecasts wouldn't be accurate and the company will possibly lose the opportunities that could help improve its bottom line. Key highlights of our development process include:
The information needed to be contextual and linked to the marketing data, without which the client wouldn't know wherefrom the deals came, and run a cost-benefit analysis. We had to ensure during the project development process that the sales representative get the right information at the right time. We were given the challenge of creating Card Report that tells about total sales, Metrics Report of yearly item wise sale, and Gauge Report that tells about the status of target achieved.
