Why WINC is different

Traditional Business Intelligence consulting companies have a business model where they build a complex model and hand it over to the client, and the only way to maintain it is to agree on a retainer. My model is basic. I build it, then publish and maintain it daily with a monthly fee.

Case Studies

See how I helped these companies reach success.

1.

Route Profitability Inter-Provincial Passenger Transportation​

  • Profitability is outlined
  • Reporting every morning
  • Distributed to all stakeholders

Background

Due to Covid-19 restrictions enforced by the government the transportation industry was on its knees, especially inter-provincial transport.​

The Challenge

When inter-provincial travel was opened again after hard lockdown management realized that efficiency need to increase by a big factor as coaches may only be loaded at 70% capacity and cashflow is already under strain.

Solution

Reporting was always done on the 20th of the new month and was only done on a global level. To make better decisions on routes reporting will have to be closer to the travel date and must be on a route level. To solve this business intelligence needed to be employed, as the company was already on the Office365 platform Microsoft Power Bi was easy to employ. The result was a model that could visually represent profitability data and be updated every morning and distributed to all relevant stakeholders.​

2.

Transportation Company Branches Out

  • Immediate visibility of low profit routes
  • Inefficient drivers are rectified

Background

A settled company wants to branch out into the trucking industry. A fleet of 10 trucks and tautliner trailers are purchased and drivers are recruited.​

The Challenge

From the get-go there are issues. The trucks are busy most of the time, but the company is constantly running at a loss and cashflow is always a problem.

Solution

The company firstly needs visibility of operations and finance. And the information need to be up to date for better business decisions. This is achieved with the introduction of a logistics operational system and a data warehouse to combine the operational and financial data. Microsoft Power BI is used for visualizing the data as the company is already on the Office365 platform. The result is immediate visibility of low profit routes and inefficient drivers that can be rectified in an instance due to the up to date information.
