For manufacturers who rely on an ERP to track operations, customer, and production, being able to extract and transform that raw data into actionable insights is the next level up.
If you’re looking for an easy solution, look to Power BI. Don’t scrap your current ERP if it’s working - use your ERP as your internal hub and source of truth. Use Power BI as an add-on to elevate your reporting capabilities.
Power BI is an intelligence and data visualization tool by Microsoft. To make it simple: it’s really good at taking bucketloads of raw data and transforming it into reports, models, and dashboards.
