Transforming complex ERP data into actionable business insights

Transforming complex ERP data into actionable business insights

Discover how we helped AGC Chemicals Europe make sense of Dynamics 365 data with real-time analytics

AGC Chemicals Europe, a leading producer of fluoropolymers and fluorochemical materials, needed a way to turn its complex Microsoft Dynamics 365 data into accessible and actionable insights. We deployed the 5Y Business Transformation Platform to simplify their data model and enable fast, flexible reporting for business and finance teams. The result? Data-backed decisions that actually move the needle.

The Challenge

AGC Chemicals Europe was operating on Microsoft Dynamics 365 — a powerful but complex ERP platform. Although they had Power BI in place, the underlying data structures in D365 made it difficult to access the information needed for analytics and reporting.

That resulted in delays building dashboards, limited self-service reporting and an over-reliance on technical resources to meet business intelligence demands.

AGC needed a solution to simplify Dynamics data access and empower their teams to get the insights they needed, without waiting on IT.

The Solution

AGC partnered with 5Y to deploy our Business Transformation Platform and its Transformation Suite, which delivers a pre-built analytics solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Over 3 months, we delivered a cloud-based reporting and analytics environment that included:

  • Out-of-the-box content for finance and operations
  • A simplified data model, pre-optimised for Power BI
  • A flexible platform AGC could enhance internally over time
  • A scalable foundation for wider group reporting needs

By removing the technical complexity of Dynamics data structures, AGC could finally shift focus from extracting data to analysing it.

The Results

AGC Chemicals Europe now has real-time visibility into operations and performance. The fully scalable and flexible platform offers pre-built dashboards and reports that can be further enhanced by the internal team as business demands change.

AGC is able to:

  • Easily access critical ERP data in Power BI
  • Track and improve business performance in real-time
  • Make informed, data-backed decisions at speed
  • Scale Dynamics analytics across the broader AGC group

With the help of 5Y Technology’s Business Transformation Platform and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Solution, AGC Chemicals Europe is able to “reveal and represent data that was previously very difficult to achieve”, allowing for a better understanding of its business performance in real-time and to define, monitor, and achieve business objectives through data-backed, informed decisions.

The success of this project has led AGC Chemicals Europe to expand the utilisation of Dynamics 365 throughout the group.
