Success Story: Transforming a 40-Year-Old Manufacturer

We recently partnered with a 40-year-old manufacturer of buffing and polishing products to revolutionize their operations. The client faced significant challenges due to their migration from a legacy ERP system to SyteLine ERP, which lacked reporting and analytical capabilities.

Challenges:

• No access to historical sales and order data.
• Inability to forecast sales or track performance against targets.
• Lack of visibility into actual vs. targeted sales, hindering the ability to make informed decisions.

Our Solution:

We implemented a robust data warehouse powered by Microsoft Business Intelligence (MSBI), seamlessly integrating historical data from the legacy ERP with the new system. The solution provided:

• Real-Time Sales Performance Insights: Interactive dashboards enabled the client to track sales performance by region, plant, department, customer, and product.
• Automated Reporting: Daily, weekly, and monthly sales reports were automated and distributed to the sales team via a browser-based application and email.
• Mobile-Optimized Views: Key metrics and opportunities were made accessible on mobile devices, ensuring insights were available anytime, anywhere.

Results:

• The client gained near-real-time visibility into sales performance, enabling smarter, data-driven decisions.
• Efficiency skyrocketed with automated reporting and streamlined access to historical data.
• The solution unlocked new levels of growth and operational efficiency, transforming the way the client viewed and utilized their data.
