关于客户
WD-40 公司是一家总部位于圣地亚哥的全球营销组织。该公司致力于通过开发和销售解决全球 176 多个国家/地区车间、工厂和家庭问题的产品来创造积极持久的回忆。作为向全球零售商提供领先工业和消费品品牌的供应商，WD-40 公司拥有复杂的内部财务状况，拥有多家国际子公司，并以不同粒度级别存储客户和 SKU 数据。
挑战
WD-40 公司是一家全球营销组织，由于数据保存在不同的系统中，它在分析其损益 (P&L) 时面临巨大挑战。由于无法清晰地了解客户、地区或库存单位 (SKU) 的损益情况，决策受到了阻碍。该公司内部财务状况复杂，拥有多家国际子公司，客户和 SKU 数据存储在不同粒度级别，因此分析不同业务部门的损益情况极具挑战性。了解特定客户、地区或 SKU 的盈利能力是一个费力的手动过程，而且在大多数情况下，定期进行这种分析实在太耗时了。
解决方案
为了解决这一挑战，WD-40 公司聘请了 IBM 顶级业务合作伙伴 Aviana 来帮助开发解决方案。Aviana 团队构建了一个数据集市，将损益数据集中到单一事实来源，从而能够使用 IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 进行快速分析和报告。该解决方案帮助 WD-40 公司的财务团队比以前更深入地了解业务绩效 - 提供按 SKU 和客户、按地区和销售组以及按不同聚合级别划分的盈利能力洞察。它还使用户能够分析毛利率、贡献和销售成本 (COGS)。

With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
