Toyota Financial Services faced the daunting task of compiling data from a multitude of disconnected sources for their reports. This cumbersome and time-consuming process was becoming increasingly difficult to manage efficiently.
Codec implemented a complete end-to-end data warehouse and reporting BI solution, providing Toyota Financial Services with valuable data insights on contracts, quotes, dealer loans etc. The implementation involved analyzing data from multiple sources, integrating it into the Data Warehouse and providing Power BI Reports.
Codec delivered this project on-time and within budget. The end-to-end data warehouse and reporting solution has significantly increased productivity.
Toyota Financial Services provides a range of flexible and affordable finance options for new cars and commercial vehicles, as well as approved used vehicles.
However, given the nature of their business they faced significant challenges due to a lack of robust reporting capabilities. Their teams had to manually compile reports from data spread across multiple excel spreadsheets, a laborious and time-consuming process. With over 70 reports needed daily, this approach quickly became unsustainable. To make the most accurate business decisions, Toyota required access to historical data, daily updates, and point-in-time information. Receiving and interpreting these files every day became a tedious task, overwhelming the team members.
Toyota recognized the need for a full migration of its core systems, emphasizing the importance of maintaining existing reporting data, while also developing a comprehensive suite of new sales reports. The primary challenge was centralizing all the information into a data warehouse, enabling easy and efficient report generation through Power BI.
"In our early days, our priority was establishing our core systems to get up and running, enabling us to provide quotes for customers and dealers and, ultimately, generate revenue. However, we soon realized that robust reporting was a critical component we should have integrated from the beginning,"
