Challenge, approach, and impact

In the rapidly evolving automotive industry, our client - a leading global giant, found themselves facing a significant roadblock that was hindering their efficiency and productivity. Their existing solution, an Excel-based allocation application, was no longer capable of meeting their growing demands. The application, while initially sufficient, utilized numerous algorithms to distribute car deliveries fairly and understandably across various areas for dealers. However, as the company expanded and business complexities increased, this Excel-based system began showing its limitations. The large number of algorithms supporting the Excel files no longer fully backed up the execution of the process, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistencies. Over time, maintaining the application became a herculean task, resulting in deteriorating performance and frequent errors. The ad hoc nature of the solution, although initially beneficial, was now a major drawback. It lacked the usability and streamlined execution needed to meet the company's evolving business goals. The challenge was clear: The client needed a new, robust, and scalable solution that could replace their outdated Excel-based allocation application. They required a system that could handle their increasing workload, efficiently manage the allocation process, and streamline delivery to dealers. Most importantly, they needed a solution that could grow with them, adapting to their future needs and maintaining high performance regardless of the scale of their operations.
