Before the collaboration, Caucasus Auto Import faced several pain points in their financial reporting workflow:

• Over 80% of reports were maintained manually in Excel

• 20% were built using SSRS, which lacked flexibility and scalability

• Reporting was distributed across multiple disconnected systems, making data consolidation slow and error-prone

• Finance and operational teams needed deeper, interactive analytics but lacked the tools to explore their data in meaningful ways

Starting in February 2025, DataStudio worked closely with Caucasus Auto Import to build a comprehensive Power BI reporting platform, integrating three major data sources:

• MySQL (internal systems)

• SQL Server

• Google Sheets (manually maintained operational and financial inputs)

• Plus live exchange rate data from the National Bank of Georgia

The new solution provided:

• Over 50 fully interactive dashboards covering:

  • Revenue tracking and accounting breakdowns

  • COGS and margin analysis

  • Loan and deposit monitoring

  • Additional payments, operational controls, and dealer performance

• Seamless data refresh every 3 hours

• A Power BI App environment consolidating all reports in one centralized platform

• Custom filters and views for toggling between periods, currencies, and financial scenarios

Approximately 20 users across different departments now rely on the system daily.

With the new BI platform in place, Caucasus Auto Import has completely transitioned away from Excel and SSRS, achieving:

• Dramatically improved accuracy and speed in reporting

• Real-time access to strategic insights

• Department-wide alignment using one unified data source

• Minimal manual effort with automated, reliable refresh cycles

The organization continues to expand its reporting capabilities with ongoing support from DataStudio, who remains their trusted analytics partner.
