Road Construction firm uses BI tools to enhance performance

Problem

With over 200 data sources distributed across the globe, it was very difficult for Colas management to track:
  • Staff working days – Actual versus available
  • Cash balance – Actual versus baseline
  • Cost of construction
  • Time for construction
  • Day to day project completion
  • Productivity
  • Profitability
  • Repeat business

The company needed a dashboard in which it would be able to see each of the KPI/ Metrics. Key performance indicators have always been the most critical part of a company.

Solution

Acme One helped the company design, model and implement data warehouse. We helped Colas to develop ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) packages to enable daily processing of data sets into its data warehouse.

ETL provides a method of moving the data from various sources into a data warehouse. Other services provided by Acme One include:

  • Creation and configuration of SSAS (SQL Server Analysis Services) database for multidimensional cubes and applying mining algorithms.
  • Creating dashboards/reports with Excel/SSRS using SQL/MDX queries.
