Three years ago, Twente Partners, a multinational company specializing in citrus fruits with over 20 years of experience, faced a monumental challenge. Data was flooding their operations from all corners of the globe, but crucial information was getting lost among disparate figures and reports.
The Search for a Solution
Twente decided to seek help through Simpleza’s Business Intelligence service, which focuses on understanding the decisions the company needs to make and then developing the solution.
The goal was clearly identified: Twente Partners needed to consolidate and visualize critical data effectively to make precise business decisions in a highly competitive and volatile industry.
Simpleza’s Process
Simpleza’s team delved into Twente’s needs, identifying key decisions, periodicity, and short- and long-term goals. They then searched for, organized, and prioritized public and private data, validating its accuracy to ensure decisions were based on precise and up-to-date information.
Building the Control Dashboard
Simpleza co-created with Twente a control dashboard with more than 2400 data series on the lemon market. This dashboard allows the company to analyze complex information quickly and easily, automating information management and ensuring continuous updates.
The step-by-step construction process was as follows:
- Discussions with company decision-makers about the decisions they need to make, their periodicity, and the company’s short- and long-term objectives and necessary information.
- Searching for, identifying, organizing, and prioritizing available public and private data on the global lemon market.
- Review and validation with the client, focusing on the accuracy and reliability of the data.
- Improvement and transformation of databases, working on their periodicity, data collection processes, and data management in a functional manner, considering various criteria.
- Building indicators, performing specific calculations, and establishing relationships between variables.
- Automating the data loading and management process.
- Creating a user-friendly visualization, defining the dashboard’s structure and organization, and building the most useful and convenient graphs and tables.
