Simplifying reporting, reducing overheads
Learn how we helped BEWI gain better visibility over reports and reduce accounting costs by over 50%.
BEWI, a European manufacturing company specialising in packaging, insulation and component solutions, set out to understand profitability across the full order-to-delivery cycle. But with decentralised systems and limited reporting capability, finance teams struggled to access the insights needed for accurate cost tracking. By implementing the 5Y Business Transformation Platform, they replaced manual reporting with real-time visibility, reducing accounting overheads and laying the foundation for smarter, more sustainable operations.
The Challenge
How do you get a clear view of profitability when reporting is fragmented and data is decentralised?
That was the challenge facing our client. With decentralised systems and manual reporting processes, they struggled to understand profitability across the order-to-delivery lifecycle.
Key issues included:
- Disconnected financial and operational data
- Manual reporting processes prone to delay and error
- Limited visibility into cost drivers across the value chain
The business needed a modern, unified platform to simplify complex data engineering tasks — like structuring, integrating and transforming siloed datasets — efficiently and with ease. To optimise decision-making and operational efficiency, they were looking for a scalable solution that could deliver real-time insights and reduce reporting overhead across functions.

The Solution
We deployed the 5Y Business Transformation Platform to implement a modern reporting environment, without disrupting the client’s operational model.
The Platform’s Engineering Suite made complex data engineering simple. Automated data architecture, shared logic, and pre-configured data structures enabled the rapid ingestion and transformation of fragmented insights. This gave the client full visibility into profitability from order to delivery.
We delivered a unified view of performance by enabling:
- Seamless integration of Dynamics 365 and other core systems
- Enabled granular profitability analysis
- Laid a scalable foundation for future analytics and automation initiatives
We empowered decision-makers with real-time visibility into financial and operational reports. Instead of relying on siloed systems, the business now operates from a single, trusted reporting layer.
With governed, structured data in place, the company can now act faster, optimise resource allocation, and continuously improve decision-making.

The Results
By gaining greater oversight of profitability at every stage of the order-to-delivery lifecycle, the business transformed how it measures and manages cost efficiency. Real-time visibility replaced manual reporting processes, enabling teams to track costs, margins, and performance indicators with far greater precision.
This foundation has already reduced accounting costs by more than 50% and laid the groundwork for deeper analytics, automation, and long-term operational scalability. With data now working for them, the organisation is equipped to make faster, smarter decisions at every level.
