SeaLink is Australia’s largest integrated land and marine, tourism and public transport service provider with established international operations in London and Singapore. It is one of Australia’s most experienced and diverse multi-modal transport businesses, boasting performance-driven capabilities across ferry, bus, and light rail. SeaLink moves more than 206 million customers per year, has over 8,900 employees and operates approximately 3,500 buses and 116 ferries.
SeaLink uses acquisition strategy to expand its business and constantly look for opportunities for growth in current market and complimentary market. Business Intelligence has been the main contributor in their impeccable planning to deliver world class customer service and a great holiday experience. Aiming to be the best in the industry, SeaLink management looks for a consolidated view of Travel, Finance and Contact Center Data.
As the company heavily relied on real-time reporting of data, the new acquisitions posed a challenge of generating and receiving reports accurately on time. The use of disparate systems and presence of massive volumes of data caused consolidation challenges. It was difficult to get single source of truth for the executive management. This led to the risk of generating inaccurate reports in real time; and if accuracy was to be achieved the delay would make the report irrelevant leading to higher operational costs and inaccurate decision-making.
SeaLink had the following requirements to be provided with a new BI solution:
- Provide a consolidated view of business data in an easy-to-understand dashboard for the Executive team.
- Offer customized dashboards for employees based on their roles and access levels.
- Scheduling and sending of reports should be easy, requiring less time.
- Ability to support statutory and compliance reporting requirements.
- These reports were needed to optimize business processes at individual level. Irrespective of employee location, he/she should be able to receive or access the real-time accurate report from the system.
SeaLink needed a data management solution to help generate real-time, accurate reports with a consolidated view across the systems.
