Buying BI software shouldn't take hours and hours of research and require putting your job (or reputation) on the line when you sign the contract. As with most things, Yurbi aims to be different (and better). Read "What Do you Have to Lose?" approach -> https://lnkd.in/eGM4XKa

As a Business Analyst I felt to share this small thought and give an idea to fellow BA's solving this issue in case you are in a fix on how to handle constant change or modification requests from stakeholders especially in ERP related domain: This is Self service via master module vs Customizing via development team focused on CRM and ERP's solution and giving flexibility in a planning and process driven environment. Rule of thumb which even higher level managers, CTO's should adhere in order to decide between a master module and developer involvement, asking among yourself and the team: 1. How frequently do changes happen? - Frequent = Master Module. - Infrequent = Developer involvement. 2. How complex are the changes? - Simple = Master Module. - Complex = Developer involvement. 3. How important is speed to the client? - If clients need fast changes = Master Module. - If changes need thorough testing = Developer involvement. 4. Does the system need to scale across multiple clients? - If yes = Master Module helps avoid developer overload. Open for comments and opinions!

🔄Double data- less time for creative work🔄 All of us know the importance of data. How many of you have one ERP system in the plant, even combination of two information systems, but your people in Planning, Purchasing, Logistic, Maintenance, Production, Quality, HR department still spend too much time to put same data manually in the excel sheets? That can comes from the fact that you don’t have all data in your ERP system and you can’t get all features from it, or your management wants something different that your MRP can provide. Not to mention the small companies, which even don’t have any information system in place and “Excel kingdom” flourish? Without intention to diminish the importance and features of the Excel, wouldn’t be better to replace 80% of the time your people spend for such physical work with something more creative? For example analyzing the data and make actions to continuously solve the problems or improve processes, instead fulfill already existing data in to excel sheets. Trust my word, your people will be happier to do a creative job and your process will continuously improve. You have experienced the similar things? Comment now or reach out to me, and let’s find a way out together. Don’t miss out to enable to your people a time for creative work! In my upcoming posts, I’ll share what I did and how I resolved it.

A question I often get asked is, "What is a Pricing Analyst"? I've worked with loads of people in the field, who have broken down the top responsibilities of the role: • Monitor product supply and demand. • Set prices with departmental goals. • Support sales with competitive pricing. • Track and respond to competitors' prices. • Conduct cost analysis and create pricing models. • Analyze various data to set appropriate prices. • Maintain price lists and contribute to sales proposals. • Review quotes and generate pricing reports. • Prepare revenue forecasts and budgets. The skillset is more specialized than similar roles like data analyst, and the top skills that get flagged to me include the need to: • Understand business, economics, and statistics. • Be strategic about the market, customers, and competitors. • Possess an analytical ability to process and interpret data. • Be knowledgeable in statistics, economics, and consumer psychology. • Effectively communicate with management, vendors, and customers. • Think critically when assessing scenarios and making decisions. • Have proficiency in data visualization (Tableau, Power BI) and presentation (PowerPoint). • Show skills in using analytics tools, SQL, Excel, and databases. There are still some big questions remaining, however, like Pricing Analyst vs. Data Analyst: What’s the Difference? Should You Become a Pricing Analyst? How Can I Become a Pricing Analyst? What is the Demand for Pricing Analysts? The Average Salary by Experience. And finally, what are the top questions asked during Pricing Analyst Interviews? We cover all of these areas, and the responsibilities and requirements, in detail in our Pricing Analyst Guide on Interview Query! https://lnkd.in/gn92Yatc

I often get asked “how do I know we have outgrown spreadsheets”. Here are 17 top indicators you’ve outgrown a spreadsheet. 1. The team doesn’t trust the information on the sheet 2. Data is outdated by the time it’s entered. 3. Updating inventory is a full-time job. 4. Team members are scared to touch the master sheet. 5. You can’t scale without hiring more admin support. 6. You rely on a single “Excel expert” to keep things running. 7. Important formulas keep breaking. 8. It takes days to compile reports. 9. You check the information every time you need to trust the sheet. (For example counting inventory for items each time you need to schedule production.) 10. You’re spending more time managing data than value add tasks like planning, negotiating, improving based on that data. 11. Key decisions are delayed waiting for data to be updated. 12. Quality control records are scattered across different sheets. Audits or recalls take hours and days rather than minutes and it’s difficult to prove to auditors you know what your doing. 13. Team members have different versions of “the truth.” 14. Collaboration on a single file is a nightmare. 15. You find outdated data when reviewing the sheet. 16. Your admin team spends hours compiling monthly reports. 17. You need real time data but the process for data to be entered or propagate to the sheet takes hours or days Spreadsheets are great—until they aren’t. As manufacturers grow, the cracks in these systems start to show. If any of this sounds familiar, it’s a sign that spreadsheets are holding you back. It's time to streamline and scale with tools built for manufacturers. #manufacturingsolutions #quality #scalingup #erp #inventorymanagement #productionefficiency #spreadsheets
