From finance, to sales, to customer support. We focused on a total of 92 key performance indicators across several sectors in the company.

40+

people

We discovered that more than 40 people are involved in the preparation and reporting of company-wide KPIs. That’s a huge number that costs the company millions a year.

6 684

hours/year

Translated into units of hours, that’s how much manual work the reporting staff had to put in. That’s 21 working days a month.

We assessed the current situation and proposed several digitization projects.

We put together a set of documents that allowed the client to clearly see exactly where they could save 2.5 million a year.

01

We have prepared a dashboard with the results for quick orientation, interpretation and presentation in the company.

02

We visualized the data flow so the client could clearly see where the data was coming from, how it was being processed and where efficiencies were being lost.

03

We evaluated the degree of reporting automation including a number of other monitored parameters.

04

We have developed suggestions and recommendations for streamlining the reporting of KPIs, which to our delight have been flexibly adapted by Gestamp’s management.

We have defined the top projects that deliver significant improvements for low investment.

We can automate 80% of manual work, resulting in lower losses and increased operating profit.

We can increase productivity by 25% with automated reporting.

We are left with a total of 0 excel spreadsheets for reporting key business metrics.

Reference

“Others have realised that there are inefficiencies in our process. There was a “wow effect” when we realised how much time we were spending and how much time we could use more efficiently. Other colleagues began to see the sense in digitalisation. Instead of different people manually processing the same data, we should move to unified processing using Power BI. Why do we need to process so many different KPIs when we only need to track a few important ones? We have to find a way from many KPIs to the most important ones.”
