Optimize Supply Chain Shipping Routes with Tableau (Guided Project)

Supply chain teams rely on geospatial analytics to pinpoint where shipping costs stack up and where distribution routes can run leaner. In this hands-on guided project, step into the role of an analyst at Sugar Wagon, a national sweets distributor, and use Tableau to explore factory-to-customer shipping paths, identify top customers, and surface supply chain inefficiencies. Work through three objectives: model and profile the raw data, build an interactive multi-layer geospatial map with dynamic distance buffers, and calculate customer-level metrics and sales-versus-target KPIs. At the end of the project, see how to assemble every component into a polished dashboard that supports both macro-level route optimization and customer-level drill-down.
