Nestlé / Nespresso, Contract - Switzerland (Vevey/Lausanne)
Role(s): Senior Dashboard Designer
Nov12 / Dec17
As part of the Nestlé Business Analytics (BA) team in Vevey participated in the development of the following projects in BO 4.0/4.1 + BW 7.3/7.4/7.5 (HANA) + Tableau 9.0 & 10.x.
Project 1 Description - GMHD Version I (VEVEY-Nestle)
As a lighthouse project for Nestlé Middle East market a Mobile Market Head Dashboard (GMHD) was built in BO 4.0 (WEB Intelligence report) to provide KPI's such as Real Internal Growth (RIG) + Organic Growth (OG) + Net Net Sales (NNS) against Forecast and Target data.
This Dashboard went live for 28 markets in April 2012 (Asia + Americas + Europe) with some specific requirements like local groupings (Hierarchies), drill paths, external data not available in GLOBE (non-SAP), etc.
Project 2 Description - GMHD Version II (VEVEY-Nestle)
After a very positive feedback from Market Head's (zone managers + high level users) we decided to create a new solution of Market Head Dashboard with a different architecture based many existing Nestlé BW sources like:
Global Sales Statistics
4 Key Factors of Sales
Sales Summary
Integrated Income Statement (P/L data - OP1+OP2)
and also merging many non-GLOBE (non-SAP) data like local calendars (local Working Days), target + forecast data and projection values per grouping/period/market.
This new Dashboard is completely flexible and allows a new rollout for a new market or region with minimal effort (from a few hours to few weeks) by minimizing the level of effort. One of the goals was to reduce the number of existing reports into one consolidated and secure BO report ("mobile ready" - MOBI).
After a fully validation at Unit/Stream level this solution was submitted to the CIO Awards 2013 (that rewards the best run projects by all GLOBE units and the LGO's) as "From Edge to Core and from Core to Edge: Industrializing a Market Head Dashboard" and from 57 successful projects this Dashboard received the second prize from GLOBE Management Committee.
In the end of 2013 this solution was handover/deliver to the Regional Business Solution(RBS) in AMS+AOA to continue the deployment of this platform to local markets/countries and a set of high level scope documentation + Quick & Detailed Deployment Guide + Videos guides and Questionnaire to freeze requirements were built to support and facilitate RBS on the deployment process.
Project 3 Description - PhenixProject (Cognos migration into SAP) (LAUSANNE-Nespresso)
In November 2013 joined the Phenix team (NESPRESSO) in Lausanne (50% of the week) to help in the consolidation of Nespresso Master data with the existing Nestlé BW Master data (MD). The challenge was to harmonize existing GLOBE Master Data Repository (MDR) and Sales Data Repository (SDR) with the Nespresso B2B + B2C data from Legacy systems (Oracle+IDH) + CRM.
The first market to have a "Go live" within Phenix project was Germany (DE) in September 2014 with the launch of R/3 platform (Retail) as well as SAP CRM + SAP APO + SAP SoD (Sales on Demand) + SAP BW 7.3.
Besides master data a set of BW reporting families are being setup to full fill Business Excellence (BE's) requirements and to cover existing DE main reports (sales order/sales performance/ Customer Life Cycle / Complains and follow up / Contracts / After Sales (ASSV) / B2B Coffe Machines...
Project 4 Description – Compliance Procure to Pay (P2P) dashboard (VEVEY-Nestle)
From August 2014 till March 2015, and for Top level management / Procurement leads, built a WEBI dashboard with the goal of enhance procurement reporting capability to improve the business analytics usability and accessibility, transforming “BIG DATA” in “EASY DATA”. The roll out to the Market level happened successfully on Q1 of 2015.
This dashboard is a reference for P2P team and it’s available on GLOBE portal and it provide 10 KPI’s that are very usefull and meaningful for the business.
Project 5 Description – CtA (“Call to Arms”) (VEVEY-Nestle)
Within the “Call to Arms” initiative (Compliance & Security) and because of a “lack” in Nestlé repository of a simple report showing how many users are linked into a WIN AD group, built an BO admin tool – using Excel & Macros+VBA - that allows to see how many users are attached into a specific WIN AD group. This simple development/spreadsheet is now being use by all RBS leads around the world and gives meaningful inform of users, groups attached and their responsible & approvers.
Project 6 Description - Compliance P2P dashboard - WAVE1 + Wave2 (VEVEY-Nestle)
The implementations of DS applications are growing very fast at Nestle developer community, therefore it was decided in July 2015 to rebuild the all solution of the Compliance P2P dashboard (made previously in WEBI) in DS 1.5.
From Jul till Dec 2015, and in parallel, start the development of new 10 KPI’s for SC team with collaboration of RBS team in Brazil and 5 offshore resources located in Bangalore/India.
