Adopted into daily executive use

Power BI sales and warranty reporting across the combined ~42-dealer network of EdgeWater Power Boats and Nimbus USA, adopted into the Senior VP of Sales's daily workflow. The first system in the arc, and the one that earned executive trust.

THE BUSINESS PROBLEM

What needed
to change.

Two boat brands sold through a combined network of about 42 dealers, roughly 30 at EdgeWater Power Boats and a dozen at Nimbus USA, with sales, dealer inventory, and warranty milestones scattered across QuickBooks, ERP exports, email, and individual knowledge. The Senior VP of Sales was monitoring the network through QuickBooks and ad hoc dealer calls while also running the sales organization.

Sarah built the Power BI sales and warranty reporting that gave leadership one dependable view of the network. The reports moved into the Senior VP's daily workflow and into month-end review with leadership in Sweden. The trust they earned became the foundation for everything that followed.

HOW THE WORK HAPPENED

Judgment made visible.

01 / DECISION SUPPORT

Reports built for the moment of action.

Sales and warranty reporting organized for executive review, dealer conversations, and boat-model analysis. The Senior VP of Sales used the reports every day to manage calls, inventory, and performance; leadership in Sweden used them for month-end and market decisions.

02 / ROOT CAUSE

Find the risk the topline hides.

The analysis surfaced dealer-concentration risk: EdgeWater depended on a single dealer for more than 75% of sales, with a similar concentration at Nimbus. The finding directly reshaped the sales team's network-growth strategy as market demand declined through 2024–2025.

03 / AI AS ACCELERATOR

Where the AI story actually starts.

Sarah taught herself to use ChatGPT to write DAX and M code while building these reports, six to twelve months before she applied the same approach to Power Automate for the warranty portal. She was using AI as a build accelerator, self-taught, from 2024 onward.
