About The Client
Weaver Popcorn Hybrids
WPH is a leading entity in the popcorn industry, operating on a large scale. The complexity of their production and global distribution processes necessitated a robust tool to transform their raw ERP data into actionable business intelligence.
The problem
Delayed Insights and Reactive Decision-Makin
WPH’s core operational data resided in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, but the organization struggled to convert this data into timely, actionable insights. Reporting processes were heavily manual, limiting leadership’s ability to monitor performance, identify trends, and respond proactively to business changes.
Key business areas impacted included:
Financial performance visibility
Sales and revenue analysis
Inventory and operational oversight
As a result, decision-making relied on delayed, fragmented, and static reports rather than real-time, insight-driven analytics.
What WPH Needed
Real-time analytics on Business Central data
A unified view of Finance, Sales, and Inventory
Automated KPI tracking against budget and historical benchmarks
Interactive dashboards for executive-level decision-making
Scalable, Azure-native data architecture
Secure, governed access to enterprise data
