  In early 2017 Sci-Fleet hired a Group Analyst to help with reporting across the Sci-Fleet Group, which now includes several dealership interests across Australia. In October 2019 this position was vacated and I absorbed the role in addition to my other responsibilities.The new responsibilities included maintaining and expanding on the systems that had been built when the Group Analyst had come on board. Between a variety of programs and software including Oracle, Alteryx and Tableau, the group now has everything from dashboard reporting through to detailed P&L statements that are comparable amongst the different companies across Australia.
