How did Power BI save this wholesale distributor $8,000 a year on returned merchandise? TrinSoft helped them fix their fail using Microsoft Power BI and bubble wrap.
This $20M wholesale distributor faced a FAIL: product returns were out of control, and they couldn’t pinpoint why. The problem wasn’t a lack of data, they had plenty of it from multiple sources. The challenge was analyzing data spread across three databases, including one they didn’t even own, provided by a 3rd-party logistics firm in messy spreadsheets.
David Beaty from TrinSoft explains how they fixed this fail without an expensive ERP system overhaul:
- Using Power BI, they aggregated and visualized data from multiple sources into a single, clean dashboard.
- They gained insights into product returns, identifying office supplies shipped via USPS as the main culprit.
- The fix? Improved packaging with bubble wrap, which significantly reduced returns.
