The P&G team around Brennon Sessions analyzes supply chain data to ensure they can respond quickly to unforeseen events. Given the dynamic nature of their business, they need to get insight fast. Previously, they were using spreadsheets to compile information for analysis. But this was an extremely static approach. Answers to questions today might not be relevant tomorrow.  This became even more acute during the pandemic. The lack of consistency and no ability to repeat processes caused major challenges. By the time they had the insight to make decisions about the supply chain, they were already two days late.

KNIME took them to the next level. They were able to compile a consistent global logical supply chain scenario. The KNIME solution integrates data from multiple sources and provides insight based on living data. With quick, automated access to up-to-date insight, the KNIME solution is saving P&G 100s of hours per week.

P&G collaborated with KNIME Partner, phData, to combine their technical expertise with the subject matter expertise at P&G. Based in the US, phData is a full-service machine learning, data engineering, and data analytics consulting company that guides leading businesses through their data transformation journeys.
