OPL Logística, a Bahian company specializing in the transportation and storage of perishable products, reduced the time taken to close commercial reports by integrating data from various enterprise resource planning systems (ERPs), creating a single source of information using a Business Intelligence (BI) solution from TARGIT, a company specializing in data analysis technology.
“Reports that previously took several hours/days to process can now be completed in 30 minutes. This agility has allowed us to develop a data-driven culture and achieve a positive impact in all areas, as real-time information has increased operational efficiency,” says Leonardo da Hora, Technology and Quality Manager at OPL Logística.
“The project with TARGIT has been contributing to the development and growth of OPL Logística, which currently has a Distribution Center”, highlights Leonardo da Hora.
Scenario
Founded in 2014 and based in Vitória da Conquista (BA), OPL Logística operates throughout the state of Bahia, offering road transportation services, merchandise distribution, inventory organization, and product storage.
Due to using a manual system for report generation, the company faced challenges of inconsistency and lack of reliability of data from various departments. In this scenario, OPL Logistics decided that effective management of a large volume of data requires advanced technology to centralize, analyze, and obtain strategic information. After a market analysis, the company adopted the TARGIT Decision Suite solution, due to TARGIT's recognition in the distribution and logistics sector.
Technology
The TARGIT Decision Suite BI solution provides access to an integrated control panel, which facilitates collaboration between departments by saving time on operational processes and, consequently, saving time in executing the business strategy.
“By using TARGIT Decision Suite, with guaranteed data control and governance, OPL Logística becomes an example of how the implementation of a BI solution can benefit logistics operations throughinsightsstrategic and generation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)”, explains Allan Pires, CEO of TARGIT Brasil.
Benefits
In addition to faster generation of commercial reports, other benefits of OPL Logística were:
- Productivity– The automated generation of periodic reports has significantly increased productivity, as the reduction in the time needed to monitor the sales flow has allowed professionals to dedicate themselves to strategic activities.
- Improved decision making– The 360° view of business through in-depth analysis of real-time data allowed OPL Logística to make more strategic and assertive decisions.
“The TARGIT Decision Suite solution proved to be scalable, adapting to the company’s growth and allowing the inclusion of new data and functionalities according to our demands”, concludes Leonardo da Hora.
