In a strategic move to strengthen its operational efficiency and data capabilities, a leading South African tire manufacturer partnered with Keyrus, a global leader in data intelligence, to significantly upgrade its Tableau reporting environment. This partnership has not only streamlined manufacturer’s stock management but also delivered critical improvements in business insights and decision-making agility.
The Challenge: Limited visibility & manual reporting bottlenecks
The customer, a renowned name in tire manufacturing and distribution, faced increasing challenges with stock availability, visibility, and warehouse planning. The company was heavily reliant on time-consuming Excel reports for inventory monitoring and forecasting, lacking in real-time insights.
The management was well aware of the need to modernise the company’s reporting and analytics systems to keep up with demand and to deliver better outcomes across the value chain.
With a clear need for streamlined data pipelines and integrated dashboards, the business sought a solution that would empower operational managers and executive teams with the right data at the right time.
The solution: Optimised Tableau reporting & analytics
Keyrus stepped in as a trusted data strategy and analytics consultancy to redesign this customer’s Tableau ecosystem and elevate reporting standards. The engagement was rooted in co-creating a scalable, sustainable analytics solution—backed by Keyrus' extensive technical expertise and advisory capabilities.
Through collaborative workshops, Keyrus assisted in reframing the customer’s KPIs and reporting logic. Key deliverables included:
Enhanced dashboards tailored to executives and operational managers
Standardised data models and automated Tableau pipelines
Consolidation of warehouse inventory data to improve stock forecasting
An optimised governance model for performance and future extensibility
“The customer didn’t just want better visuals, they wanted better decisions. Keyrus team spearheaded the definition of measurables to be tracked and made sure their interpretation was clear and straightforward,” says Adam Walker, General Manager at Keyrus.
The Benefits: Real-time insights, reduced risk, and smarter planning
Since implementation, the manufacturer has reported measurable improvements in reporting quality, speed, and decision-making confidence. Operational teams can now proactively manage warehouse stock levels and identify shortages before they become supply chain issues. Automated Tableau dashboards save hours previously spent on manual Excel-based reporting.
Key business outcomes of this reporting transformation include:
Enhanced decision-making for stock management and logistics
Faster reporting cycles, improving agility across departments
Increased stakeholder confidence through executive-ready dashboards
Future-ready analytics foundation for further AI and forecasting innovations
“Keyrus didn’t just deliver a technical solution—they brought clarity to our data strategy. Their consultative approach helped us define metrics that move the needle for our business,” remarked customer’s senior manager.
“Thanks to mutual trust and well-established partnership, our customer gained the confidence to modernise its reporting platform. Keyrus’ expertise propelled our customer to move beyond dashboards to truly data-driven organisation. The transition was seamless, the results immediate, and a great foundation for the customer’s future growth,” summarised Walker.
