Optimizing Supply Chain Efficiency for a Multinational Healthcare Wholesaler

A leading healthcare wholesaler needed to modernize its supply chain processes to keep pace with growing operational complexity. While an Alteryx model provided a solid foundation for balancing demand and inventory costs, evolving business rules were being managed manually in Excel—making the process error-prone, fragile, and unsustainable. The Challenge - Manual Excel adjustments increased risk of errors and delays - Heavy reliance on single experts made processes difficult to scale - Inconsistent application of business rules across product lines The Solution Compass Analytics strengthened the client’s supply chain model by: - Integrating additional data sources into unified workflows - Embedding business rules directly into Alteryx, removing reliance on Excel - Automating validation for accuracy and consistency - Structuring logic into reusable templates to enhance transparency and scalability The Impact - US$50 million in one-time inventory savings - US$5 million+ in improved cash flow - Data freshness improved from six months to just two days - Process cycle reduced from 8+ hours over several days to under one hour
