PREMO Group and Zoho Analytics
PREMO Group wanted complete 360-degree insight for every customer, real-time global sales and operational data, and insights on suppliers and more. The company needed to analyze large amounts of sales, operational, logistics, project-based, and client data coming in from multiple systems, including Salesforce, SAP, Zoho Projects, Zoho Creator, and other databases. Unified blending of this data from multiple systems was their biggest challenge.
They were using Microsoft Excel, but it became overly difficult to use. As their requirements became more and more complex, with data coming in from multiple sources, manually connecting the dots between the data and coming up with actionable insights became a daunting task. They needed a snapshot of overall business performance, but their data wasn’t centralized.
PREMO Group wanted a simple self-service BI solution that’s easy to use, could unify and blend data with ease, helps them collaborate effectively, and enables an end-to-end business analysis across all their functions.
The company first evaluated Power BI, but found it to be too complex when it came to creating relationships between data from many sources.
“The power of Zoho Analytics enabled us to get a 360-degree view of our customer journey. From the moment a customer enters into PREMO Group, data like the order they had placed, information of suppliers who are working on that order, how many employees are working on that project, total time and money spent, proposed delivery dates, consignment status, and more, reside in multiple systems. Zoho Analytics’ capability to make easy relationships between this different data from multiple systems is amazing.”
– Claudio Cabeza, Business Development Director, PREMO Group
