How we helped a growing Construction Firm make data-driven decisions at scale with a unified ERP system
- Home
- Case Study
- Client Type: Mid-sized, multi-division construction firm
- Industry:Construction & Project-Based Services
- Primary Market: New Zealand
- Tech Stack: Microsoft Fabric, Power BI
- Background: This New Zealand construction company operated like several small businesses under one roof — multiple divisions, separate systems, and fragmented reporting. Each team managed their own data sources, making it nearly impossible for leadership to see the full picture of what was happening across the organisation.
The Challenge
Despite being a single company, their data lived in silos. They struggled with:
- No centralised reporting across teams or business units
- Inconsistent data sources and manual consolidation
- Limited visibility into job performance, profitability, and resource allocation
- Time-consuming decision-making due to poor access to reliable data
Our Solution
We implemented a Microsoft-powered ERP and analytics solution tailored to their needs:
- Microsoft Business Central for financial management and full operational control
- Power BI for real-time reporting and insights across sales, production, and finances
- Microsoft 365 + SharePoint to unify collaboration and documentation
- Serial number tracking and inventory automation to streamline the assembly process
The Transformation
A single source of truth for all divisions and teams
Real-time reporting enabled faster, more informed decisions
Clear visibility into job costs, resource allocation, and profitability
A scalable analytics foundation for future growth and deeper insights
“Where they once relied on fragmented spreadsheets, they now operate with clarity, confidence, and full control over their data.”
