This case study, suitable for large-scale businesses with extensive data operations, highlights how CMC Global developed a reporting platform that empowered faster business decisions, optimized multi-channel after-sales and marketing management, with $500,000 in annual operational cost savings.
Background and Challenge Story
The client struggled with manual reporting for multi-channel advertising campaigns, finding the process time-consuming and difficult to manage.
To address these challenges, they sought a partner who could deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions along with reliable, long-term technical support.
CMC Global’s Approach and Solution
Expectations
The primary goal for the project was to develop an app within a reasonable budget. They expected CMCG’s solution to cover all required functions and features and to adhere to standards and security metrics. Additionally, they expected CMCG to deliver the project quickly, with minimal errors, and ensuring a strong ROI.
Scope of CMCG’s work
CMC Global assessed the needs and pain points of different stakeholders including management boards, marketing & sales team, and 12+ agencies.
After interviewing, we found a strong familiarity with Microsoft products, making Microsoft Power Apps an ideal solution. Hence, we consulted to develop a web-based platform using Microsoft Power Apps with the following objectives:
- Standardized report formats using input files from diverse sources, including emails, Salesforce records, and Excel.
- Provided real-time insights through Power BI, charts and visualization tools
- Reduced effort in report creation and performance evaluation
How we build a delivery team?
A scrum team was formed to tackle the project within a timeframe of 3.5 months, including:
- 2 RPA Developers ((Robotics Process Automation)
- 1 Power BI Developers
- 1 Business Analyst
- 1 Solution Architect
Initially, CMCG’s Business Analysts (BAs) conducted interviews to understand user needs and behaviors. Upon confirmation, CMCG proposed a detailed list of functions and suggested some additional features. Once approved, the project team presented a high-level architecture for the client’s review, followed by project kickoff.
How we control the project quality
During the development phase, the project team needed to ensure the adherence to specific security protocols, UI/UX design principles, and coding standards from the client.
Despite these challenges, CMCG’s team displayed remarkable agility. Our architecture and design effectively accommodated change requests from the client, preventing significant cost increases and ensuring the project remained on schedule.
We carefully customize code with detailed comments to meet security standards, as well as establishing user guidelines for each stakeholder. Before going live, all features and functions must go through quality assurance on the client’s environment.
