Maxxium Russia is a Russian division of the international alliance of two strong alcohol companies - Beam Suntory Inc. and The Edrington. He owns the brands The Macallan, Jim Beam, Highland Park, Courvoisier and others.

Previously, Maxxium employees used an analytical system developed on the basis of Microsoft SQL Server 2012. However, over time, it became difficult to maintain and develop it. In addition, the system ceased to meet the requests of specialists in the financial department and employees of the sales and marketing department, since it did not contain all the data necessary to implement the company's strategy and perform operational tasks. It was decided to implement an up-to-date analytical solution that quickly processes and gives data to users.

The project was implemented by Navicon. Its specialists over the past six months have developed an analytical system based on the version of Microsoft SQL Server. It includes two blocks - finance and sales. Specialists from the relevant departments can monitor and analyze income and expenditure information on a daily basis, including in the form of P&L reports, analyze various financial indicators, compare actual sales with the budget and forecasts, and analyze data on primary sales in detail.

Maxxium employees were also interested in obtaining visual reporting based on data from the developed analytical system. To do this, Navicon introduced the Microsoft Power BI cloud solution in the company. Now, using simple tools and more than 30 report forms, Maxxium specialists can independently generate reports, including mobile ones, with varying degrees of detail.

"The solution developed for us by Navicon has become the basis for the further development of the analytical culture in the company. After its implementation, the integrator team conducted training: now our employees can not only use the analytical reports created by consultants, but also, if necessary, develop additional reports both in Power BI using various visualization tools and in Excel, " comments Olga Burdova, CFO of Maxxium Russia.

"We would like to thank the Maxxium team for their productivity at every stage of the project. In particular, employees of the company participated in the formation of requirements for visual reporting. In our opinion, the joint work of the customer and the integrator is one of the components IT of the project. We continue to develop the developed system: four times increase the number of users, we plan to add data on secondary sales, information about the market and competitors, as well as implement integration with other systems used in the company - this will further improve the quality and speed of reporting, "- notes Maxim Ozerov, director of analytics projects at Navicon.
