Every month, Sarah, a Finance Manager at Zambakaza Distributors, faced the same challenge of consolidating sales, inventory, customer, and financial data from multiple systems and spreadsheets to prepare management reports.
She spent hours reconciling branch performance, stock movement, receivables, and sales figures, leaving little time to analyse performance or support timely business decisions
Instead of analysing financial performance and advising leadership, much of her time was consumed by repetitive manual reporting.
As the business grew, so did the complexity of reporting. Leadership often waited days for reports, while Sarah spent more time validating numbers than delivering insights.

Everything changed when a friend introduced Sarah to Sunesis Consulting Kenya, a Business Intelligence consulting firm that helps organizations automate reporting, save over 60% of reporting time, and turn data into actionable insights.
After seeing the potential benefits, Sarah built a business case for report automation, demonstrating how it would reduce manual work, improve reporting accuracy, and deliver faster insights for better decision-making. Her proposal convinced the leadership team to invest in the solution.
Once implemented, the report automation solution transformed Sarah’s workday. By automating data collection and report generation, reports that once took days were delivered in hours, giving management faster access to reliable insights for timely, data-driven decisions.
With a single source of truth, Zambakaza Distributors eliminated conflicting reports and increased confidence in its data.
