Why Reveal

To better serve their customers, Zhen Wang, Product Director at Lanxing Software sought a visual self-service BI tool that could seamlessly integrate into their existing solution, as the built-in BI charts in SCATLAS were not always able to meet clients’ personalized data analysis needs. For example, Lanxing users often require customized categorization of products, customers, and transportation routes. Lack of this capability could be a deal breaker for their clients.

After evaluating multiple embedded BI tools, including PowerBI, they found that the best solution was Reveal, which provided a powerful self-service BI tool that seamlessly integrated into the existing SCATLAS platform. Other all-in-one solutions were heavy-loaded services that could slow down Lanxing’s own application, hurt user experience, and had overlapping functions with their own solution.

This integration is essential for delivering fast, insightful, and actionable data to Lanxing users, enhancing their decision-making capabilities and overall efficiency.

In SCATLAS, Lanxing’s customers use the BI capabilities powered by Reveal to create personalized dashboards to monitor the metrics they care about.

Typical Metrics for Lanxing Customer Dashboards

• Logistics: Gaining an understanding of both service level and total cost of transportation helps further optimize overall logistics costs while maintaining the same level of customer service.
• Profitability: Comparing the profitability rate for products over different customers and vendors to target the most profitable move when choosing between vendors.
• Manufacturing: SKUs with their turnover rate helps to target the top priorities when resolving inventory stagnation issues.

 

“We are dedicated to empowering corporations with enhanced data-driven decision-making in their supply chain operations. The built-in BI charts in SCATLAS did not always meet our clients’ personalized data analysis needs and we needed an outside solution. Reveal, with its flexible reporting capabilities and comprehensive SDK for full integration, was the ideal choice,” said Zhen Wang, Product Director, Lanxing Software. “Integrating Reveal into the system fills the gap in SCATLAS for self-service BI analytics, allowing users to customize data analysis logic and dashboards with indicators according to their own business needs. Reveal also saved Lanxing Software at least six months of development time that would be needed to create a full-featured BI tool.”
