COCA-COLA: SHAPING THE ESSENCE OF ANALYTICS
Coca-Cola, the largest beverage company in the world, looked how to replace its daily 45-minute manual data reporting process. Previously, the team spent a considerable amount of time trying to connect over 200 million lines of data from over 100 different systems into single storage to then build one usable dashboard. To boost the efficiency and carry out a real-time data, Coca-Cola adopted Tableau. Because Tableau consolidates the data from multiple sources, various teams at Coca-Cola can now actively comprehend the metrics, including the budget, delivery operations, and profitability in a matter of few clicks. Simultaneously, the sales department can now access the data from the remote locations by using the iPads, which increased overall timeliness. Finally, the executive reports automatically refresh each day at 5:45 am, unlike the previous times.


LENOVO: A 95% INCREASE IN EFFICIENCY ACROSS THE COMPANY
Lenovo, a global technology company, aimed to optimize its analytics experience across all the departments and worldwide offices. Previously, Lenovo operated with one single sales report that was delivered to 28 different countries. When different regions or company’s divisions wanted to adopt the report to extract the most valuable data, it required a commitment of eight to ten individuals and led to a massive number of on-hold tasks for the analytics team. In turn, Lenovo decided to use Tableau to orderly structure the data all across the company. As a result, Lenovo got a flexible dashboard with all the sales that can be adapted for the ad-hoc analyses, which also led to 95% efficiency improvement across 28 countries. With the help of Tableau dashboard ideas, Lenovo gathered the engagement metric, thus crafting a better experience and collecting more revenue.

LINKEDIN: EMPOWERING 90% OF THE SALES TEAM

LinkedIn, a largest professional networking website, wanted to synchronize all the data across its internal databases (Google Analytics, Salesforce.com, third-party tools). Previously, one analyst at LinkedIn would handle daily sales request from over 500 salespersons, which created a reporting queue of up to 6 months. To fix the issue, LinkedIn decided to use Tableau to centralize the spread out data and develop a series of customer access dashboards. As a result, thousands of individuals nowadays can access the Tableau Server on a weekly basis, which constitutes 90% of the LinkedIn sales force. With the interactive real time dashboards in Tableau, one can easily predict churn and track the current performance, which eventually created more revenue through the proactive cycle of sales.
