The client asked KCS to drastically improve the accuracy and timing of the reports. In addition, they needed a business intelligent system whereby reporting would no longer be reliant on a manual process and be capable of giving valuable actionable insights to understand the customer behavior based on real-time demands and offer services accordingly.

KCS Approach
The main objective of the client was to keep a track of the services they provide at different locations and wanted easily understandable reports to get precise information about which region receives more service requests or which age group demands more services or which field required more service providers so that they could fulfill their customers’ requirements proactively. The simple process helped them generate a report, publish it to the Power BI report server and distribute as well as consume across the devices.
