Most organisations already hold the data needed to cut stockouts, excess inventory and freight costs, but it sits in separate ERP, warehouse and transport systems that rarely agree. Five days show logistics and procurement professionals how to bring those sources together and turn them into reliable decisions. Early sessions map the data landscape, from purchase orders and goods receipts to shipment events and IoT tracking, and design a data model with clean product, location and supplier master data aligned to GS1 identifiers.
You then work hands-on with SQL, Power Query and Python pandas to extract, clean and join records, and set up a small cloud data warehouse. Analytics sessions cover demand forecasting with exponential smoothing, ABC-XYZ segmentation, safety stock and reorder point calculations, supplier scorecards and network cost analysis. Visualisation work turns the results into Power BI dashboards tracking OTIF, fill rate, inventory turns and days of supply, structured around the SCOR model. Demand planners, inventory controllers, logistics analysts, procurement officers and ERP or BI specialists will benefit. You leave able to specify a platform, build its core metrics and present findings to managers. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Volatile demand, longer lead times and pressure on working capital have made data one of the most valuable assets in any supply chain. Yet many procurement, warehousing and distribution teams still reconcile spreadsheets by hand each month, and their reports arrive too late to change outcomes. A well-designed data platform gives planners and managers a single, trusted view of orders, stock and shipments, and frees analysts to work on the questions that matter.
The Supply Chain Data Platforms and Analytics Training Course moves from architecture to insight. Participants first examine the systems that generate operational data and how they are integrated through ETL pipelines, APIs and data warehouses. They then tackle master data management and data quality, before applying descriptive, diagnostic and predictive analytics to demand, inventory, supplier performance and transport. The programme closes with dashboard design, control tower concepts, data governance and a roadmap for scaling analytics across the organisation.
Every day includes guided practical work on a realistic dataset drawn from a distribution business. Participants write SQL queries, prepare data in Power Query and Python, build forecasting and inventory models, and assemble a working Power BI dashboard that they can adapt to their own operations.
Participants who complete the five days will be able to:
By the end of the week, participants will have:
Roughly two-thirds of the time is spent at the keyboard. The approach combines:
Day 1: The Supply Chain Data Landscape and Architecture
Day 2: Master Data, Data Quality and Preparation
Day 3: Demand and Inventory Analytics
Day 4: Supplier, Transport and Network Performance
Day 5: Dashboards, Governance and Scaling Analytics
