A prominent UK manufacturer, renowned for its high-quality aluminium composite panels, has consistently demonstrated a commitment to innovation and excellence.
With a global distribution network and a state-of-the-art production facility on the South Coast of England, the company has established itself as a leader in its industry.
As the company expanded, the need for more effective reporting mechanisms became apparent.
The existing system required enhancements to provide interactive, real-time insights by integrating data from various sources such as SQL on-premise, OData v4, and Excel.
Additionally, there was a desire for automated weekly notifications for data changes, scheduled data refreshes outside of working hours, and a permission management system within Power BI to ensure data security and compliance.
To address these objectives, the company collaborated with Mercurius IT to develop a comprehensive solution leveraging Microsoft Power BI.
This involved creating Power BI reports using multiple connectors, establishing workspaces for content publishing, implementing permission management, scheduling data refreshes, and enabling export functionality to formats like Excel, CSV, and PDF.
The implementation of this solution brought significant benefits. Reporting processes became more straightforward, saving time and reducing manual effort. Data visibility improved, allowing for better decision-making and operational efficiency.
Users experienced an enhanced experience, accessing accurate information relevant to their roles.
The interactive dashboards provided in-depth insights into inventory levels, sales performance, and other critical business areas, supporting more informed strategic planning.
Through this collaboration, the manufacturer successfully transformed its reporting processes, laying the foundation for a more data-centric approach to business management.
By integrating multiple data sources, establishing permission controls, and ensuring timely data refreshes, the company enhanced its operations, empowering teams to make better-informed decisions and continue its growth trajectory in a competitive market.
