The Context

The customer, a leading recruitment solutions provider in the United States, faced challenges with its legacy reporting infrastructure. Reports built on the PHP-based Adcentral platform suffered from performance issues, making it difficult for sales reps and executives to access insights efficiently. Navigation was cumbersome, Snowflake costs were high, and similar sales rep names created tracking confusion. These inefficiencies impacted sales performance tracking and decision-making.

Business Challenges

Inefficient Reporting System

The PHP-based Adcentral platform had slow performance and limited accessibility.

Costly Data Operations

Recurring compute costs in Snowflake were high due to inefficient data structuring.

Fragmented Sales Tracking

Sales reps had difficulty accessing reports within Salesforce, leading to tracking inefficiencies.

Ambiguous Data Identification

Similar sales rep names made it difficult to distinguish performance metrics accurately.

Solution

We implemented a robust data transformation strategy using Tableau, Salesforce, and Snowflake to enhance reporting, streamline sales tracking, and optimize costs.

Enhanced Reporting & Tracking Migrating the customer’s legacy reports to Tableau improved performance and usability. Embedded Tableau reports within Salesforce enabled seamless sales tracking, reducing navigation inefficiencies. Additionally, 14 actionable reports were developed, providing real-time insights to support better decision-making.
Optimized Data Management Snowflake was leveraged for structured data extraction and analysis, ensuring efficient storage and retrieval of sales data. To minimize compute costs, tables were segmented into historical and current data, optimizing resource utilization and reducing redundant processing.
Process Optimization A centralized sales tracking system was implemented, allowing flexible account-based views to streamline performance monitoring. Enhanced sales rep identification methods ensured clarity in tracking, eliminating confusion caused by similar names and improving reporting accuracy.

Business Outcome
