Case Study

The Problem

Trade planning was fragmented across spreadsheets and ad-hoc analyses, making it hard to apply consistent strategy across customers and categories. Institutional knowledge lived in individuals, not systems.

The Approach

1

Built a centralized Power BI + Python platform that consolidates all trade data and planning inputs in one place

2

Designed intuitive scenario planning workflows that mirror how the Trade team actually thinks about strategy

3

Rolled out across all customer segments with structured training and change management to drive adoption

4

Iterated continuously on UI and workflows based on direct feedback from frontline Trade team users

The Impact

Became the primary tool for Trade strategy planning — used daily by the Trade team

Consistent decisioning across all customers — strategy that previously lived in individuals' heads is now codified and accessible

Significantly reduced time spent gathering and reconciling data, freeing analysts to focus on actual strategy
