Need for Automation:

I am required to assist Sales Representatives with the Stock Status (backorder, available quantity and order quantity) for different warehouse/plants consuming around 2 hours of man-hour weekly. An automation of this task shall leave me with enough productive hours and shall also update the Sales Rep with the accurate information in no time.

Besides, I am also required to combine multiple files with a huge quantity of data as a single file, explaining the post-production details like Customer, Product, Quantity, Price, last ship date for a particular division, region and area etc. – which will later be used by Sales Department for future production for a specific corporate or a product. This activity consumes around an hour weekly. Automating this process would leave me with enough time to address other important areas.
