Transforming data and reporting for Tullis Russell with Power BI
Read how Influential Software transformed data access and reporting through Power BI for Tullis Russell.
Executive brief
The search for efficiency with Power BI
Tullis Russell Papermakers are a leading paper labeling manufacturer in the UK. They came to us looking for a more efficient BI platform for accessing data from their COBOL ERP system and presenting it through Power BI.
We provided a solution that included developing Power BI databases and tables, resulting in faster data access and customisable reporting.
The Challenge
Trouble accessing their existing data
The main challenge was accessing data from their COBOL ERP system and other databases for meaningful reporting.
The existing set up lacked the speed and access required for real-time insights. The need for a Power BI front-end was essential to empower users to create tailored data displays.
The Solution
A custom Power BI database
The end solution was a custom Power BI database which was designed to considate data from a variety of sources, like:
- COBOL ERP system
- Stock movements
- Sales invoicing
- Purchasing account history
This solution empowered the client to create their own data displays and visualisations, promoting self-service reporting.
The Results
Faster access to essential Power BI data
There were two key benefits of this project. Firstly, the implemented solution provided Tullis Russell Papermakers with faster and more concurrent access to critical data. The Power BI front-end enabled real-time insights and data driven decision making.
The ability to create tailored reports and visualisations allowed the client to align their data displays with different business processes. This customisation enhanced their analytical capabilities and informed strategic choices.
