High Risk of Errors
Manual updates often led to mistakes in tracking campaigns and machines.
Slow and Inefficient Workflow
Monitoring campaign progress and reallocating machines took a lot of time due to the reliance on Excel sheets and manual reports.
Ineffective Resource Management
Machines were not moved efficiently between states, causing imbalances and shortages in critical areas.
Limited Real-Time Tracking
There was no effective way to monitor campaign statuses or check the availability of machines in real time.
