The Result
Improved data quality
Data quality goes up because errors can easily be corrected as soon as they're discovered. It's also possible to quickly add missing data. This allows IFC to make better decisions.
New insights
By using Power BI, IFC has gained many new insights. For example, IFC now has better visibility into its receivables position, its long/short position, and under- and over-recovery.
In control
The accessibility of both Microsoft Dynamics AX and Power BI gives IFC much more control. They can quickly switch between the two programs whenever needed.
IFC gets more grip on international food trade with Power BI
IFC finds it important to have good insight into their data. To gain this insight, they initially used the ERP system Microsoft Dynamics AX, but this didn't fully meet their needs. They decided to combine the system with a BI tool, and the choice fell on Power BI. In their search for a partner, they found E-mergo. Contact was pleasant right from the start, and E-mergo's way of working suits IFC well.
“For us, it's very important to have good visibility into our contracts with suppliers and buyers.”
