In Brief
When the national organization representing Canada’s egg farmers faced the challenge of meeting dynamic market demand while navigating disruptions caused by the COVID-19, it turned to Pixel Perfect for Tableau to monitor demand-consumption shifts, assess the impact of COVID-19 on its operations and supply chain, and respond quickly to market changes. USEReady’s Pixel Perfect for Tableau enabled the organization to generate print-ready, well-formatted reports supporting corporate management and risk assessment decision-making.
Customer
The customer is a national organization that represents Canada’s more than 1,200 regulated egg farmers. It has been managing the supply and promotion of eggs and developing standards for egg farming in the country for over 50 years.

Business Challenges
As a producer and marketer of eggs, the customer faces the challenge of meeting the demand of consumers and retailers in a dynamic and fiercely competitive market. The advent of COVID-19 and its aftermath exacerbated the supply/demand uncertainties to a degree that the customer’s reporting mechanisms could no longer allow it to monitor and analyze the market shifts reliably across regions and segments. Plus, the customer also needed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on its operations and supply chain and respond quickly to any changes or risks.
Pixel Perfect Solution
USEReady helped the customer leverage the power of Tableau and Pixel Perfect to create and distribute on-demand reports that supported corporate management and risk assessment related decision making.
The solution broadly consisted of three types of reports:
A Single Enterprise Analytics PDF report that summarized data from 7 enterprise dashboards on Egg Production/Consumption and allowed users to filter and drill down by various dimensions. This report was intended for top executives who needed a high-level overview of the egg industry performance and outlook.
A COVID Cases PDF report that tracked and compared the number and rate of COVID-19 cases across different geographies and showed the correlation with egg consumption. This report was designed for managers who needed to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on their markets and customers, and to adjust their strategies accordingly.
A Daily Risk report which monitored and provided recommendations for mitigating the risk of COVID-19 transmission in different regions, based on the Rt value, which measures how contagious an infectious disease is. This report was aimed at farmers who needed to be aware of the potential threats or opportunities arising from COVID-19 in their regions, and to take appropriate actions to ensure their safety and profitability.

Pixel Perfect for Tableau was used to automate the generation and delivery of these reports, ensuring they can be customized and scheduled according to the user’s preferences. The tool also ensured that the reports were formatted consistently and professionally, with high-quality charts, tables, images, logos, headers, footers, and pagination.
Key Outcomes
Pixel Perfect helped the customer achieve the following outcomes:
Single Report from 7 Enterprise Dashboards
The customer could access all the relevant information it needed in one single report, instead of having to switch between multiple dashboards or sources. This saved time and effort and enabled it to make faster and better decisions based on data.
Improved Risk Management during COVID
The customer could proactively identify and respond to any potential threats or opportunities arising from the pandemic. It could also adjust its strategies and plans accordingly to minimize the impact or maximize the benefit of the changing market conditions.
Efficient Report Distribution
The customer could easily share reports with its internal and external stakeholders, such as management teams, board members, partners, regulators, or customers. It could also ensure that the reports were delivered in a timely manner, with the right level of detail and security.
Lessons Learnt
- Implementing Tableau and Pixel Perfect allowed the customer to overcome complexity challenges, make timely decisions, and efficiently manage supply chain risks during the pandemic and prepare it better for future uncertainties.
- The seamless integration of Pixel Perfect with Tableau enhanced reporting capabilities and facilitated effective collaboration across various stakeholders.
- The customer’s positive experience with the solution affirmed the value of using advanced analytics tools like Tableau and Pixel Perfect to extract insights and drive data-driven decision-making in the agricultural sector.
