Interactive COVID-19 Dashboards
Powered by Insight Analytics
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Insight Sourcing Group is helping clients analyze and understand the impact on their procurement and supply chain needs. Our technology-enabled managed service division, Insight Analytics, has developed pre-built interactive dashboards that enable clients to make key operational decisions as they manage through the crisis. Example use cases from clients include:
- Healthcare companies leveraging the data on daily infection rates by county to help manage their inventory of critical personal protective equipment (PPE) across their network of providers.
- Retail companies combining peak infection forecasts with shelter-in-place order end dates to help plan and estimate store reopenings.
If your company is in need of analytical tools and capabilities to leverage key COVID-19 data, please contact us. Our team will be happy to share a demo of the COVID-19 dashboard.
Our Perspective & Approach
We understand that nearly all companies are battling the negative, sometimes crippling effects, of the global COVID pandemic. Most companies have taken immediate action to focus on critical priorities such as establishing a crisis task force, protecting the health and welfare of your employees, and identifying opportunities to conserve cash.
The one thing that is obvious now is that no one can accurately predict the length or long-term implications of the current crisis. So, it stands to reason that each company should rapidly consider any and every idea that might address their unique needs in the short-term and then reassess that strategy on a regular basis, adapting as appropriate.
In the midst of this uncertainty, it is critical that companies be disciplined about which strategies to prioritize and pursue. Given our unique position in the market, we wanted to share top of mind topics and ideas from conversations with dozens of our clients that, if you have not already executed against them, might have a significant effect on the near- and long-term health of your company.
