BI System for Better Data Management and Analysis
As part of the long-term partnership between Boni Holding and Balkan Services, a BI solution was also implemented to improve data management and analysis within the company.
Users use Qlik for data visualization, reporting, and multidimensional analysis.
The application enables comparisons of sales, returned goods, and performance against previous periods and planned targets. Key performance indicators are calculated, and receivables by customer and payments can be easily analyzed with drill-down capabilities down to document level.
Digitalization of Sales Processes through CRM
A CRM system has been implemented, enabling sales representatives to manage their activities via mobile devices.
The system allows on-site order placement at retail locations, real-time order transmission to distributors, and the collection of information on competitors’ product availability and pricing.
The CRM solution also supports visit planning and reporting, route optimization for sales representatives, and provides operational reporting aimed at optimizing the performance of the sales team.
