Unveiling Success

Empowering Business Efficiency and Solving Challenges with Innovative Tech Solutions

NorthGate grappled with inefficiencies in its reporting and analytics, facing significant operations and supply chain management challenges due to a fragmented data infrastructure. Critical data was spread across diverse systems, including MS Dynamics ERP, SQL Server, Office 365, and third-party servers, leading to disjointed reporting and analytics capabilities that undermined decision-making processes. In response, the client engaged Kanerika for a Business Intelligence (BI) project to consolidate these disparate data sources into one coherent platform. This initiative focused on developing Power BI dashboards and reports to improve visibility and provide deeper insights into operational data, striving to establish a centralized source of truth. Through this strategic effort, NorthGate sought to empower themselves with informed, data-driven decisions to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness
