Why a business intelligence dashboard?
This client’s business has grown rapidly. Early and reliable knowledge of which tours work and which don’t is vital to its continued success and planned expansion to more of the world’s most exciting cities.
The company was established in 2005; it has an average of 44 gastronomic tours per city per week (up to 2,000 transactions a month). They had a huge data flow which they were unable to analyse.
They, therefore, needed a reporting tool that could analyse data from their event booking system, as well as the individual accounting systems in each of the local countries and present it in a way that gave the leadership team usable insight into the business
The Client
