Opportunity
The Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) industry is traditionally on the back end of technology. Analysts struggle with the limitations of spreadsheets to be effective in their reporting. The procurement analyst may not have the technical skillset to generate complex code to solve their problems, but they are the experts in the data. SDI wanted to build a procurement database with Google-like search capabilities so that analysts could find appropriate vendors and pre-price products without ever having to go to market. Utilizing Excel, SDI was only able to pre-price only a small number items without going to market.
Solution with Trifacta
SDI has modernized their reporting process by leveraging Cloudera and Trifacta to automate workflows, expand reporting and grow their business beyond their expectations. With their modernized reporting process, SDI has increased pre-pricing significantly for their customers, without spending precious time going to market.
