Empowering Dealers Across Africa with a Centralized Sales Reporting Platform
Isuzu Motors Ltd., a renowned Japanese automobile manufacturer, has long been a global leader in the production and sale of commercial vehicles and diesel engines. With a stronghold in markets across continents, Isuzu's footprint in Africa continues to grow, and so does the need for modern digital tools to support its regional dealer network.

Project Overview
The project began with a clear mission — to streamline and modernize how Isuzu’s dealers across Africa handle their internal reporting and forecasting workflows. However, the existing processes were fragmented, largely manual, and incapable of handling data at scale. Reports from different dealers lacked consistency, forecasting was often inaccurate, and visibility into dealership operations was limited.
To solve these challenges, Apptunix was brought in to design and develop a comprehensive Sales Reporting Platform. Built with scalability and simplicity in mind, the platform allows dealers to manage daily operations with ease, from reporting sales to accessing insights powered by Power BI. Real-time notifications, deadline reminders, and centralized communication with IIF further elevate the platform’s functionality.
Client Requirements
Isuzu’s internal systems were struggling to manage dealership records and reporting processes across multiple regions. There were specific pain points that needed to be addressed:
Need for precision
A stable, centralized platform to track sales and forecasts with zero margin of error.
Data migration
Importing over a decade of historical records into the new system.
Power BI Integration
Enabling advanced reporting and analytics using live data from MongoDB.
Approval workflows
Building a system for report review, approval, and historical tracking.
"Managing dealer operations across multiple countries comes with its own set of complexities. We needed a solution that deeply aligned with how our business operates on the ground. Apptunix delivered just that. Their team grasped the scale of our needs quickly and brought a structured, thoughtful approach to the entire development process. Apptunix helped us lay the foundation for a unified dealer operations across Africa.”
Key Challenges That We Addressed
Developing a system with this level of complexity meant navigating several critical challenges:
Consolidating dealer data from multiple regions into a unified platform.
Managing team-level hierarchies within each dealership.
Integrating Power BI dashboards into a custom-built web solution.
Ensuring security and access control across multiple roles and entities.
Solution Apptunix Built for ISUZU
We built a two-panel system — one for dealers and one for administrators — to address every operational need of the platform.
Dealer Panel
Enables each dealer to submit sales reports, manage profiles, and analyze forecasts via Power BI dashboards.
Admin Panel
Gives the Isuzu internal team a central dashboard to manage dealer activities, review submissions, set restrictions, and provide real-time assistance.
Additionally, our team developed a robust backend to handle large volumes of historical and real-time data, integrated Power BI for rich data visualization, and created a scalable architecture hosted on AWS.
