Key Outcomes

The Marketshare Reporting Platform transformed Dumex’s competitive intelligence process, slashing report generation time and delivering actionable insights with unprecedented speed and accuracy. It positioned Dumex ahead of competitors through superior data-driven decision-making in the Cambodian market.

‣ Reduced report creation time from 4 hours to approximately 1 minute.

‣ Enabled real-time mobile data entry by field teams anytime, anywhere.

‣ Produced automated, graphical market share reports with trend charts.

‣ Improved data accuracy and completeness through validation rules.

‣ Strengthened competitive positioning via faster, reliable insights.

Challenges

DKSH Cambodia (Dumex) faced significant delays and inefficiencies in collecting, consolidating, and analyzing market share data across field teams and retail channels. Traditional manual compilation from multiple sources resulted in slow report generation, inconsistent data quality, and limited competitive insights in a fast-moving consumer goods market.

‣ Field staff spent excessive time manually recording and submitting market data.

‣ Report production required 4+ hours of office consolidation and formatting.

‣ Lack of real-time visibility into market share trends and competitor performance.

‣ Inaccurate or incomplete datasets due to scattered Excel-based collection.

‣ Difficulty producing clean, graphical reports for management decision-making.

Strategy & Approach

TSD invested three months upfront studying Dumex’s existing workflows, data sources, and exact market share calculation requirements. We prioritized mobile-first design to accommodate field staff’s on-the-go needs and minimize input friction. A modular architecture separated data entry, validation, aggregation, and visualization layers for maintainability. Clean, professional UI/UX ensured quick adoption by both field and office users. Automated computations and graphical rendering eliminated manual Excel work. Iterative prototyping with real users refined usability, while strict data validation maintained integrity throughout the process.

Execution

TSD conducted an intensive 3-month discovery phase, mapping field data collection workflows and defining precise market share calculation formulas. We developed a mobile-first data entry interface allowing staff to input sales, stock, and competitor data directly from smartphones with minimal clicks. A powerful backend platform aggregated inputs into structured data tables, automated calculations, and generated dynamic dashboards with clean charts and trend visuals. Role-based access ensured secure data entry for field teams and full analytics for office users. Rigorous validation rules prevented errors, while automated reporting features enabled one-click PDF exports. After iterative testing with pilot users, the platform was rolled out nationwide with comprehensive training.
