Problem Summary
A manufacturing company operating on a corporate scale could not effectively use its data assets scattered across different departments and systems. Manual reporting processes were both time-consuming and creating an error-prone structure. KPIs critical for management decisions could not be tracked up-to-date.
Production, sales, finance, and logistics departments were each working with their own data sources, but a holistic view among these data could not be provided. As a result, strategic decisions were made slowly and opportunities were missed.
Situation Analysis and Requirements
As a result of a detailed analysis process, the following basic needs were identified:
- Gathering all corporate data in a single center (Data Warehouse)
- Real-time or daily automatic data updates
- Visual and interactive reporting infrastructure with Power BI
- Department-based customized dashboards
- Access possibility from mobile devices
- Data security and authorization mechanisms

Implemented Solution and Methodology
We implemented the project with the following stages:
Data Warehouse Setup
All corporate data was moved to a SQL Server-based data warehouse architecture. Data is updated regularly with ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes.
Power BI Integration
Department-based customized dashboards were designed with Power BI connected to the data warehouse. Detailed analyses were provided with interactive visuals and drill-down features.
Automatic Reporting
Daily, weekly, and monthly automatic report generation was provided. An automatic warning system is activated when there is a deviation in critical KPIs.
Mobile Access
With the Power BI Mobile application, managers can access instant data from anywhere and speed up their decisions.
