Distribution group: on-demand finance reporting
Reporting: overnight lag to on-demand
Daily management packs compiled automatically from Xero, a TMS and spreadsheet exports, delivered before 8 a.m.
Large distribution group running Xero, a transport management system, and multiple spreadsheet exports.
Where they started.
Daily performance reports were compiled by hand each morning.
Data was pulled separately from Xero, the transport management system, and a set of spreadsheets.
Reports were only available the next morning, after manual consolidation.
Management decisions lagged reality by a full day.
