🚗 Driving Automotive Operations with Dash Enterprise
Manheim, a Cox Automotive brand and the largest wholesale marketplace for used cars operates over 70 auction sites across the U.S. The company struggled with managing operations efficiently, relying on cumbersome spreadsheets and expensive data platforms that hindered real-time insights and actionable decision-making. To overcome these challenges and accelerate the development of user-friendly data apps, Manheim partnered with Plotly’s Professional Services and leveraged Dash Enterprise.
In this webinar, John Kang, Director of Planning and Analytics, will share how Dash Enterprise enhanced decision-making and empowered leaders by:
- Providing a faster, more functional solution for labor and equipment forecasting across auction sites
- Allowing non-technical users to explore data through an interactive, self-service web interface
- Transforming Python-based models into scalable, interactive web apps without the need for front-end developers
- Creating branded, secure applications that meet security standards and impress leadership
- Streamlining workflows with real-time data integration, improving operational efficiency
🎃 October Events
AI Realized 2024
The Plotly team had a fantastic time in San Francisco at AI Realized! This event brought together industry leaders to discuss AI deployment in enterprise businesses. It was a great opportunity to network with peers tackling similar challenges and gain valuable insights from Fortune 2000 companies as they shared real-world results and lessons learned. We left inspired and excited for what’s next in the AI space!
Collide 2024
What an unforgettable experience! This year’s Data Science Connect’s COLLIDE Data & AI Conference brought engaging discussions on balancing rapid innovation with responsible AI progress. We enjoyed connecting with attendees on the latest data and AI trends while hearing valuable insights from Fortune 500 leaders on advancing technology responsibly. Huge thanks to our own Domenic Ravita, Justin Boll, Mingo Sanchez, and Carolina Herrera for leading these conversations and making this event a success!
ODSC West 2024
Just recently, we were at ODSC West! This year’s focus on machine learning and generative AI brought together an amazing community of data professionals, and we were thrilled to contribute. Mingo Sanchez, our Senior Sales Engineer, led a hands-on workshop. Jeremy Zhang, Head of Advanced Analytics in Clinical Data Science at Gilead, explored how to visualize AI-driven clinical trial optimization.
