Continuous, phased development of analytical tools in the budgeting and BI analysis domain
How did it start?
The implementation of CONSORG BI solutions at Ceramika Paradyż Sp. z o. o. began in 2006 when the first data warehouse was implemented for sales analysis, production, and financial monitoring. The tool used for users to connect to the OLAP database was deskStudio (formerly known as Optima Controlling). Data fed into the system at that time came exclusively from the IFS ERP system.

Development and implementation of a sales analysis model, including product profitability, markets, and customers.
