Problem Statement

The client, a global manufacturer of hi-tech automotive connectors, relied heavily on its ERP system for day-to-day operations but lacked a centralized analytics platform. Business teams depended on manual data extraction and spreadsheet-based reporting, making it difficult to obtain consistent, timely insights across Sales, Billing, Backlog, Forecast, and Budget. As reporting demands increased, the organization needed a modern data platform that could support reliable enterprise-wide analytics.
