Singapore – (June 28, 2011) – Rémy Cointreau's sales and distribution arm has chosen Zap Business Intelligence to analyze their ERP and supply chain data. Supply Chain Director, Angelique Debuyser, described business intelligence (BI) as “a necessity to run our business effectively”.
At the center of a growth market and with global responsibility for the duty-free market, Rémy Cointreau uses Zap Business Intelligence to manage their greatest supply-chain challenges including ensuring on-time deliveries and operational flexibility.
“We now have visibility into what's happening across all areas of the business, and can make well-informed decisions,” said Angelique. “For example, we can see what we need to do to manage costs and creditors. From a supply chain perspective, I can easily identify slow moving products, or match stock levels to forecasts, or reduce inventory. Zap helps me to do my job successfully. The solution is really user friendly, which means everyone can easily create their own queries.”
Zap Business Intelligence is used for both detailed daily reporting, and high level analysis. On a daily basis, finance and supply chain reports are automatically generated and distributed, covering updates such as sales volume and value, and stock level.
To share performance information with stakeholders who don't use the BI system such as managers at the French head office, PDF management reports are created within the BI environment and then distributed. One example is a group supply chain report, which includes relevant KPIs, reports, and dashboards.
The next step is analyzing sales forecast accuracy to streamline inventory management, introducing more financial analysis, and potentially rolling out the BI solution to additional countries.
