Populating The Database
Product and Customer hierarchies were built from Brita’s ERP data and imported directly into Prophecy.
According to Wilkinson, "Constructing the hierarchy files was a one-off activity. Now when a new product or customer is required we just append it to the hierarchy file, which takes just 30 seconds.”
The final step was to obtain sales history data from the ERP systems, read it into Prophecy and fully validate it. Once the source data had been extracted, this process took less than a day.
