Are you a business owner, do you consider your business perfectly suited or equipped to handle the different market situations to remain on top while providing first-class activities, are you a front-facing business that is unfazed about competitors and how they constantly take the largest market share? If the answer to both of the questions asked earlier remains No or Uncertain, then look no further. At Westeserve we have you covered as our professionals are ready to give your business a complete makeover or facelift.

What we will do to properly set the tone of the conversation is to have a chat and then implement the best solution specific to your needs. This comes as a custom fit because the majority of businesses are not the same and the nature of factors affecting one business even in the same value chain may be entirely different. For this reason, we will carry out a proper study of your business processes both external and internal, check for ways to implement data collation, determine the best approach for data warehousing, and choose the best BI tool for analysis.

At the end of this, you stand to be head over shoulders above your competitors in so many areas. This is because prompt delivery of this analysis daily helps to channel the proper energy to where it’s needed while eliminating cost and other factors mitigating growth.

Find below some applications and how a BI solution becomes applicable:

Case study one

A data analyst resumes on a job and is tasked with the job of providing the company with a means to track and access employee data (payroll, attendance, measure job progress, etc.), get the real-time data of the cost of the day-to-day running of the business, measure historical data of the company cost variance viz a viz profit margin or ROI.

The data analyst was given access to employee records, and company expenses files (complete OPEX and CAPEX dossier). The task does not present a means for substantive sustenance after completion. He decided to create real-time data capture using IoT. This solution requires the use of smart devices linked to ERP software that is also accessed by a data visualization app. All data generated are mostly stored in the cloud with access control for the different levels of management.

Case Study two

A superstore superintendent has been tasked with ensuring that there is a means of formalizing the inventory in real-time. This involves making sure all stock can be scanned with the bar code, automated stock re-order with notification and to protect against theft the barcode must contain an RFID that can be captured using a special video sensory scanner that ensures all items go through the checkout process.

Case Study Three

A committee was set up by the government to monitor all awarded projects going forward. The committee decided to set up an agency for this purpose. The agency must provide real-time project progress, and tender vetting process, to ensure project timelines are followed until the final execution. This agency is also charged with ensuring the quality of the job through the materials vetting process. To implement all these, a system is set up to capture the data of tenders. The system ensures the vetting process and approvals are also captured. All projects must come with a timeline or milestone and are to be funded using the progress metrics of the contractor. The timeline is keyed into the system, the system must notify all connected users of the impending timeline. Once the timeline elapses, an option exists for the agency to modify or stop all funding. The system also contains access control for all project personnel. All project communication is routed through the official comms. There are solutions perfectly suited for this situation.

At Westeserve we have taken the worry off business owners by picking the best technology suitable for implementing the full scalability and functionality of IoT.
