The Challenges

  • Each 3PL partner had distinct reporting formats, frequencies, and tech stacks, leading to complexities in standardising the ingestion process.
  • Shipment cost reports arrive at different intervals (weekly, biweekly, monthly), causing delays in cost tracking and financial reporting.
  • Executive dashboards are updated with weekly updates instead of real-time data, leading to delayed decision-making and potential financial misreporting.
  • Integrating data from multiple sources, such as SFTP, Google Drive, and Netsuite, necessitated tailored solutions for each partner.
  • Lack of real-time insights prevents proactive cost control and optimization in logistics operations.

The Solution

Saras built a fully automated fulfillment cost intelligence platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP):

  • Centralized cost data ingestion from NetSuite, SFTP, and Google Drive into BigQuery
  • Standardized cost logic to ensure accuracy across partners
  • Real-time dashboards on Looker for live
