Power BI & Microsoft Fabric Consultant

Our client is a multi-plant manufacturer with a problem a lot of manufacturers will recognize. Production, inventory, quality and financial data live in the ERP, the MES, plant systems and a lot of spreadsheets. Leadership can’t get one trusted view of how the plants are performing, and reporting takes too long to build and too much effort to reconcile.

They’re bringing in an experienced Power BI and Fabric consultant to fix the foundation and deliver reporting that plant managers and executives actually use.
