Tableau Centralizes Supply Chain Data But Lacks Integrated Predictive Analytics Tools

4.0
Sep 9, 2025
Our overall experience implementing Tableau as our analytics platform for supply chain has been very positive. It has fundamentally changed how we view and interact with our operational data, moving us from static spreadsheets to dynamic, interactive dashboards. The ability to connect disparate data sources from our ERP for inventory to our TMS for logistics has given us a centralized view of the entire value chain. While the initial learning curve for our developers was moderate(i suggest in that more training material indeed), the platform's power in visualizing complex processes and identifying bottlenecks has provided a clear return on investment.

What Your Peers Are Saying About Tableau

IT Manager
Is anyone using a central AI to report on project status in realtime highlighting dependencies and bottlenecks. Or are you just connecting project management systems (MS Project, Jira, Primavera) to dashboards with Power BI or Tableau?
CIO
Leading indicators are super useful because they give you a heads-up about potential problems instead of just telling you what’s already gone wrong. We are using an AI powered tool ( can't be named here, I guess) that gets you insights that help you notice issues before they escalate. Plus, it really encourages everyone to be transparent about project status so the whole team knows what’s going on from the get-go. This openness motivates everyone to take responsibility and helps build strong teams that tackle problems early on and stay focused on their goals together. Traditional reporting often comes too late to make necessary changes. By being proactive and embracing transparency with some AI support, teams can adapt and improve on their own. The key is to catch issues early and empower teams to make adjustments as needed. AI plays a role in all team decisions, like a performance coach, and also helps out at the management level. It identifies risks and suggests improvements for senior executives. I hope that helps? 🙂
