1. Background
Sysco, a Fortune Global 500 and leader in selling, marketing, and distributing food products to restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, lodging establishments, and other customers who prepare meals away from home, relies heavily on its data for smooth operations. Excel spreadsheets play a crucial role in their day-to-day functions, ranging from inventory management to financial reporting. However, with extensive usage, the risk of data corruption grows exponentially.
