A regional U.S. retailer specializing in food, clothing, toys, and more was struggling to manage an expansive inventory across hundreds of thousands of items and item variants. Although operating on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018, the company had outgrown its native reporting and BI capabilities. Key challenges included:
The company needed smarter, faster access to actionable data to sustain growth and improve efficiency.
VLC Solutions partnered with the retailer to transform their data strategy using:
The VLC team built a robust data warehouse architecture, enabling high-speed access and analysis of real-time business data. In Phase I, this empowered the retailer to make faster, data-driven inventory decisions. In Phase II, VLC automated key procurement processes and developed intuitive Power BI dashboards for cross-functional decision-making and continuous optimization.
Within weeks of implementation, the retailer saw measurable impact:
Reorder processing time reduction
Operational data processing enabled
Hierarchical, multi-dimensional insights
Bulk purchases and assortment planning
What was once a data bottleneck became a foundation for confident, agile business moves.
Decision-making on bulk deals is much easier and more efficient. This will also help with big-picture planning and may help us with our expansion decisions. We are considering modeling what sells by community.
