The Challenge
MicronNexus GmbH, a leading provider of interfaces to both local and global car rental suppliers, was facing a challenge in understanding and managing the health of their main investment - the cars. They were dealing with automotive dealerships and renters spread over a large area, and it was vital for them to keep a firm understanding of the health of their cars. They were using a number reporting system in the form of spreadsheets, but the numbers were unclear and it was difficult for them to find out what their figures were versus where they should be.
About The Customer
MicronNexus GmbH is a German company that has been working for the last seven years to become the leading provider of interfaces to both local and global car rental suppliers. They have established a number of B2C products across Europe and developed B2B car-hire solutions for its business partners. The company deals with automotive dealerships and renters spread over a large area, making it vital for them to keep a firm understanding of the health of their main investment - the cars.
The Solution
MicronNexus GmbH decided to switch to Dundas, a data visualization tool, to help management understand the metrics. The team found that when dealing with large data sets, it was often easier to visualize it and allow the data to speak for itself. The results the team experienced were noticeable immediately and allowed them to compare metrics like never before. They were able to display informative key figures like sales, rentals, turnover and so on; including things like rentals for this year versus last year and selling price per day.
