Process optimization through central sales planning tool

The Challenge

For our customer, an international logistics company, we developed a customized sales planning tool with low-code in just 5 months.

For globally active companies, the annual sales planning process is a time-consuming and cost-intensive task. In many cases, the large amount of data is processed manually. Merging the various files from different markets and countries requires great care in order to avoid errors.

To optimize this process, our customer was looking for a uniform, reliable and centralized solution. Other requirements included the integration of budget planning and fast and uncomplicated administration of user rights.

Our solution

Our project team decided to use the Oracle APEX low-code platform. The finished solution is two applications in one: the tool supports the independent processing of two areas (customer-specific and sales-specific). The basis is a central database that is filled with data and top-down specifications via a flexible, customizable input mask.

Thanks to the efficient collaboration with our customer's employees and the use of the APEX low-code platform, the tool was completed by two developers in just five months from the start of the project. Conventional development would have quickly taken at least three times as much time and resources.

The result

The logistics company now has a clear tool at hand to automate the sales planning process. All employees worldwide use a standardized dashboard and can access the sales planning tool centrally based on their assigned rights and tasks. The company shortens the entire planning process and potential errors when merging data are virtually eliminated. The simple handling of low-code allows the continued operation and further development of the tool even without in-depth IT knowledge.
