Josh V, a fashion-forward lifestyle brand, needed deeper insights into their sales, inventory, and e-commerce data. With sales channels spanning both physical retailers and their e-commerce platform, they required a solution that could integrate and analyze data from their ERP system, Styleman, and multiple sales platforms. Josh V partnered with The Data Cooks to build a comprehensive data integration and visualization solution to track sales performance, returns, and sell-through rates at both the geographical and product levels.
The challenge
Managing sales and inventory across multiple channels—retail stores, e-commerce platforms, and external retailers—was a complex task for Josh V. The company needed a way to track sales performance, returns, and product sell-through rates efficiently. However, data was siloed across different systems, with Styleman as the ERP and e-commerce data split between their own website and third-party retailers. This fragmentation made it difficult to get a unified view of the business’s performance across all sales channels.
The Solution / Added Value
The Data Cooks designed and implemented an end-to-end data integration solution to solve Josh V’s challenges. Here’s how we delivered value:
ETL Pipeline Creation: We developed a custom ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) solution that integrated data from Styleman ERP and e-commerce platforms. This process ensured that sales, inventory, and returns data were automatically pulled, cleaned, and consolidated into a single source of truth.
Power BI Dashboards: To give Josh V actionable insights, we built intuitive Power BI dashboards. These dashboards offered real-time visibility into sales and returns, sell-through rates, and inventory levels across different geographic regions and product categories. The visualizations allowed management to quickly identify trends and make informed decisions on restocking, promotions, and marketing efforts.
E-commerce Data Integration: In addition to the ERP data, we incorporated data from Josh V’s website and external retailers, providing a holistic view of the brand’s digital performance. This allowed for a better understanding of how online sales contributed to overall revenue and which products were most popular across different platforms.
Conclusion
With The Data Cooks’ expertise, Josh V now enjoys a fully integrated data solution that provides real-time insights into their sales and inventory. By visualizing critical KPIs like sell-through rates and returns across both physical and online channels, the company can optimize its product offerings and drive growth. The solution has empowered Josh V to manage their operations more efficiently, supporting their continued expansion in both retail and e-commerce.
