Lingaro Philippines Brings Home Asian Technology Excellence Award in Analytics

Lingaro’s pioneering sales intelligence solution bagged the Philippines Technology Excellence Award for Analytics in manufacturing.

Lingaro Philippines won at this year’s Asian Technology Excellence Awards for its disruptive innovation for a global manufacturing organisation, enabling the company to tip the sales and marketing scales in their favor.

A multinational data and analytics company, Lingaro works with Fortune 500 companies in various industries to build cost-effective and end-to-end business intelligence solutions, helping them embrace technology to make faster yet smarter business decisions. Lingaro maintains presence in Poland, Switzerland, Singapore, Philippines, and the US, and has dedicated cross-functional teams in data science, software development, IT, cloud computing, AI, and machine learning.

Lingaro Philippines Country Head Eric Magdato said, “Innovation is a major differentiator for organisations across the world, and more so as we live in the new normal. This year’s winners echo the creativity, dedication, and resilience of everyone who harnesses technology to improve the lives of so many.”

The times of uncertainty and disruption across industries have paved the way for organisations to shift priorities and improve cost management, enterprise agility, and business resiliency. For most enterprises, this means accelerating their digital transformation to address present challenges and better prepare to respond to future ones.

Established manufacturing companies, for instance, traditionally rely on data drawn from manually edited sources that were prone to human error, which compromised the integrity of vital information that they need for their business processes. This has been a constant pain point: readily accessing accurate and complete data to execute localised sales strategies and better serve customers, especially for companies with associates spread across the country or region.

At the top level, the inability to access and understand reliable data poses daunting challenges for enterprises to develop strategies, analyse trends, forecast performance and changes in the market, and experiment with new approaches. Moreover, it is important to democratise data and transform themselves into data-driven organisations that can proactively address government-mandated restrictions and data governance regulations.

Lingaro has been partnering with manufacturing companies to supercharge their sales and marketing dynamics using technological innovations that drive simpler, faster, and smarter business decisions.

One of Lingaro’s pioneering work, of which it won the Philippines Technology Excellence Award for Analytics - Manufacturing, involves providing a manufacturing company with data that is easily accessible, centralised, reliable, and secure to help digitally transform the organisation and empower its executives down to the people on the field to make faster, smarter, and more data-driven decisions.

With Lingaro’s data and analytics accelerator and framework, powered by its architects and specialists adopting Microsoft technologies such as the Azure Analytics cloud platform and Power BI, Lingaro delivered a sales intelligence solution that revolutionised multiple areas across the company’s production, distribution, sales, and customer experience value chain.

The sales intelligence solution enabled data to be accessed on demand through the mobile devices of executives and salespeople on the ground. People are now equipped with demographic information and analysis, data on customer taste and preferences during specific seasons, and other essential information for them to spark the right conversations and negotiate with clients using solid, verifiable data. This feat has brought recognition to Lingaro Philippines, allowing them to clinch the Philippines Technology Excellence Award for Analytics - Manufacturing at the Asian Technology Excellence Awards 2021.

Through the solutions provided by Lingaro, the company advanced the business intelligence (BI) and analytics practice in the organisation and has brought substantial savings by eliminating manual work and bringing data faster to decision-makers.

Magdato remarked that the company was able to increase the reach of its reports on Power BI, reduce effort spent on the manual preparation of reports, and deliver data faster to the leadership team to help them with quick but informed decision-making. The company, in turn, has been recognised at its group level as the most advanced manufacturing company in terms of cloud-based business intelligence.

Magdato added, “Lingaro, as a disruptive innovator, is committed to helping organisations successfully navigate today’s connected and data-driven world. We are honoured to be part of this year’s prestigious Asian Technology Excellence Awards and recognised by our global industry peers. We see this distinction as further validation of Lingaro’s position in the industry and a positive reflection of our partners’ trust for Lingaro’s technical and business expertise in data and analytics. More importantly, this recognition is an inspiration for businesses to continue innovating amidst these turbulent times.”
