The Client

[Client details pending approval. This page describes a typical engagement for a food and beverage producer running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central]

The Challenge

Food and beverage punishes slow reporting. Production, inventory, and sales data live in different systems, margin by SKU is a quarterly estimate instead of a daily number, and yield and waste only show up after the fact

The Solution

Elara builds a unified data and analytics system on Microsoft Fabric, consolidating Business Central, production, and sales data into one governed model. On top of it: an executive reporting suite in Power BI, led by a single executive summary page, refreshed daily

The reporting suite covers margin by SKU and customer, yield and waste in production, demand signals, and financial performance, with drill through from the executive page to transaction level detail

Technology Used

Dynamics 365 Business Central
Microsoft Fabric
Power BI
OneLake
Azure

The Results

Cost, yield, and demand move in near real time instead of month end lag, production and finance answer from the same governed numbers, and margin by SKU becomes a number you track daily. [Verified result figures pending]
