We partner with large-scale distributors and manage data pipelines across several retail platforms and independent web storefronts. Our business model relies on operational efficiency, data precision, and real-time capital allocation. ------------------------------ We are looking for a skilled Data Analytics & Inventory Specialist to build, optimize, and maintain an automated data pipeline using Power BI and the Microsoft Ecosystem. Your primary mission is to consolidate data from multiple distinct sources—including daily/weekly distributor spreadsheets, multi-channel platform sales data, and advertising metrics—into a unified, clean, and highly automated decision system that guides our replenishment and tracking. ------------------------------ ## Key Responsibilities 1. Multi-Channel Profitability Dashboards * Build a unified data model in Power BI aggregating data from various third-party platform exports, independent storefront datasets, and ad platform reports. * Standardize and map product variations across disparate channels into a single master product table to handle naming and SKU discrepancies. * Write DAX measures to calculate true net margins per item by accurately separating channel-specific overhead and marketing expenses. 2. Automated Supplier Inventory Matching * Utilize tools like Power Automate to streamline data extraction from recurring email data dumps, auto-saving files to OneDrive or SharePoint. * Build automated "Buy Alert" modules that cross-reference incoming vendor stock levels against current internal inventory deficiencies to flag purchasing opportunities. 3. Predictive Replenishment Forecasting * Structure robust data-cleaning steps in Power Query to normalize varying spreadsheet layouts and messy source files without breaking the primary dashboards. * Develop short-term and long-term moving velocity metrics to project exact depletion timelines and automate reorder point triggers. 4. Capital Allocation & Budget Tools * Design interactive parameters (such as What-If sliders) to filter procurement metrics against fixed capital limits. * Program ranking models that dynamically prioritize item lists based on velocity, margin performance, and advertising efficiency. ------------------------------ ## Required Technical Qualifications * Strong proficiency in Power BI Desktop & Power BI Service (DAX data modeling and dashboard layout design). * Proficiency with Power Query for advanced data cleansing, row filtering, cell normalization, and structural formatting. * Familiarity or experience with workflow automation tools (such as Power Automate) for automated file management and ingestion. * Extreme Attention to Detail: Our inventory health depends entirely on exact metrics.

Hi, I’m a Senior Data Engineer / BI Developer with 15+ years of experience building automated reporting, analytics, and data integration solutions, including extensive work with Power BI, Power Query, SQL, Excel, and data modeling. I can help you build and optimize the full workflow described here: multi-channel profitability dashboards, automated inventory/vendor matching, forecasting models, and SKU-level margin analysis. My approach would be to first consolidate and normalize the source data into a reliable model, then build reusable Power Query transformations and automated ingestion processes. On top of that, I’d create Power BI dashboards covering profitability, inventory health, advertising performance, fees, and operational KPIs, with drill-downs from channel/category level to individual SKUs. I’m particularly comfortable taking messy, recurring spreadsheets and turning them into structured, maintainable reporting pipelines rather than creating dashboards that require constant manual fixes. I work independently, communicate clearly, and can start by reviewing your current files and reporting process before proposing the simplest architecture. Best, Sergio

You need a Power BI expert to build an automated data pipeline and analyze inventory for your e-commerce brand, and I will start by mapping out the data sources. I will connect to your distributor spreadsheets, platform sales data, and ad spend reports, then model this data using Power BI Desktop and DAX to create insightful reports. This will give you real-time visibility into your inventory levels and sales performance, also helping with capital allocation decisions. I will not build a custom API integration for your ad data; I will import it via spreadsheet upload or direct connection if available, as a custom API is overkill for this data scope and adds unnecessary complexity and cost. What is the primary format for your distributor spreadsheets, and do you have a preference for cloud storage or local file access for the daily/weekly uploads? I need confirmation on your preferred data storage solution before proceeding. 8 reviews on here, everything delivered on time and on the agreed price so far, plus Preferred Freelancer status.

Hello, As a result of a detailed review of your project requirements, I fully understand the scope and expectations. I have experience with Power BI, DAX, Power Query, Excel-based data pipelines, and Power Automate workflows, and I'm available to start your project right now. For this project, I would first build a clean master product/SKU mapping layer to unify channel data, then structure the Power BI model around profitability, inventory health, replenishment velocity, and capital allocation. I can create DAX measures for true net margin, moving sales velocity, depletion timelines, reorder triggers, and dynamic ranking based on margin, stock position, and ad efficiency. For supplier automation, I can use Power Automate to capture recurring email files, save them to OneDrive/SharePoint, and feed normalized data into Power Query without breaking the reporting model when source layouts vary. One key challenge will be preserving accuracy across inconsistent SKU names, vendor files, and channel-specific costs, so I would build validation checks into the model before finalizing the dashboards. I have a couple of quick questions. • How many sales/ad channels are currently included? • Do your supplier files follow consistent templates, or do layouts vary by vendor? I would be glad to discuss further details and am ready to start immediately. Best regards, Carlos.

hello, Normalizing messy distributor spreadsheets with inconsistent SKU formats often breaks downstream reporting when handled through basic UI imports. Building clean Power Query ETL transformations backed by automated validation scripts ensures data integrity before feeding into your Power BI star schema. For the first milestone, I will establish the central data model, clean incoming multi-channel source files, and structure core inventory tracking metrics. Implementation steps: - Build Python and Power Query data cleaning scripts to merge SKU discrepancies across distributor files - Construct the primary star-schema data model mapping sales channels, inventory stock, and ad metrics - Program DAX formulas for accurate item-level net margins, account overhead allocation, and velocity indicators Once the data consolidation pipeline is verified, we can construct the dynamic buy alerts and capital allocation models. Are your distributor stock files sent as standardized CSV attachments, or do they vary in column structure between suppliers? have a nice day.

Hi, Your project needs a Power BI system that does more than report sales , it has to unify distributor files, platform exports, and ad data into one reliable inventory and profitability view. I understand the focus is precision: clean product mapping, accurate margin calculations, and dependable replenishment signals. I’ve built Power BI models with Power Query transformations, DAX measures, and automated file ingestion through the Microsoft ecosystem. For work like this, I focus on a strong master product table, repeatable cleaning steps, and measures that separate true item profit from channel-specific costs. I would structure the pipeline so messy source files are normalized before they reach the dashboard, then add buy alerts, moving velocity metrics, and capital-aware ranking tools. That keeps the reporting stable and useful for daily decisions. If you’d like, I can help design the first version and map the data flow clearly. Best regards, Gabriel

SKU mismatches are the biggest risk to trustworthy profitability and replenishment signals. I’d first validate the exports, storefront data, ad reports, and supplier files, then build a governed master product table with a SKU bridge—not hard-coded replacements scattered across queries. Power Query ingestion would include schema checks so changed spreadsheet layouts are flagged before corrupting refreshes. From there, I’d create DAX measures for channel-level overhead, marketing costs, net margin, sales velocity, depletion dates, reorder triggers, and capital-constrained rankings. The Buy Alert workflow would save recurring attachments to OneDrive or SharePoint, refresh the model, and clearly surface unmatched products or missing inputs for review. Do you already have a canonical SKU list, or should the master mapping be established from the channel variation data?
