Hello,
Looking for opinions. We track on time delivery for our customers. We typically run one report at the beginning of the day so that we can track the transaction throughout the day. We have to send out the updated report at various times throughout the day and alert the customers if there is anything that is going to be late.
I see a terrible inefficiency in updating the report throughout the day. We already have this data in our system, but as soon as we export the initial report we're locked in with static data. Throughout the day we will find the transaction ID that we wish to update on the report, then look it up in our record systems to get the updated information that we're looking for, then type that information manually into the report.
I'm looking for a way to enhance the process. I thought about exporting multiple reports throughout the day instead of just once in the system and then using macros to reformat the data. I've also thought about getting database access and linking the excel sheet with out database then we could just hit the refresh button throughout the day.
What're your thoughts/suggestions?
