– Head of Manufacturing Insights

A Top-Tier International Shoe Manufacturer

A world-renowned footwear manufacturer, the client operates large-scale production units across Asia, Europe, and America. With increasing regulatory demands and a distributed workforce, the company needed a faster way to track chemical usage and make timely, informed decisions on production and compliance.

The Challenge

The client’s teams relied on Excel reports built manually from disconnected systems. It took upto 15 days to generate chemical usage insights, slowing down production and risking non-compliance with international standards. Only a few managers had access, leading to inconsistent decisions and poor visibility across teams.

The Solution

Centizen implemented a Tableau-based reporting solution that brought all regional data into a unified view. Customized dashboards with user-level access enable real-time monitoring of chemical usage and compliance, empowering teams with the right data at the right time.

The Outcome

With visual dashboards and centralized analytics, the client moved from delayed reports to daily insights, transforming how production data was used to drive operations, quality control, and safety decisions across their global supply chain.
