HFW is committed to timely and accurate financial reporting, but our rapid growth and house of brands model made this difficult without a BI platform. The new system eliminates inefficiencies and saves significant time. By integrating our BI platform with our multi-company ERP (Unanet), we now have a strong foundation for data-driven decisions and automated monitoring. We will continue expanding with additional data sources and AI-driven analytics. The collaboration with Data Crafters, ResultSet, and Technik Solutions was instrumental in delivering this complex initiative within a tight timeframe.

When I joined Canlak, the company was struggling with data consolidation and timely consistent sales reporting across the ERP platforms that it maintained. I immediately reached out to DataCrafters who I had worked with in the past to implement Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. With these tools we aligned the sales and financial data from each of the platforms and created a centralized data set and dashboards that allowed management and our sales team to see important data on a daily basis. We were able to provide the data that Canlak needed to make important decisions to the business regardless of their technology skills on whatever device they were using. The business now has daily profitability by segment, inventory management, and production KPI reporting. It has helped Canlak to react to the market quicker, prevent inventory build up and stockouts, and reduce overtime.

The successful implementation of Fabric technology in this project laid the foundation for future advancements in data analytics and AI agents, enabling a scalable and intelligent infrastructure that transforms operational data into actionable insights.

Data Crafters, alongside ResultSet and Technik Solutions, transformed data analytics at HFW by building a unified platform in Microsoft Fabric that consolidates data from 13 ERPs in under six months. For the first time, we have a single source of truth. What once took weeks of manual consolidation can now be analyzed in Power BI. This is just the beginning as we expand into broader financial and operational analytics. Data Crafters brings an efficient, agile approach and has helped make our processes more scalable and automated. I highly recommend them for Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and enterprise data platforms.

Before working with Data Crafters, we spent a lot of time manually entering data and opening reports, multiple people were involved in every step. Now, what used to take 30–40 minutes can be done in 5–10. The process is streamlined, it reduced labor time, and the team no longer has to double check everything.
