Global Data Platform Transformation with Microsoft Fabric

Client: Multinational FMCG Manufacturing Client

The Problem

The organisation relied on multiple on-premises SQL Server environments, with separate data sources and reporting models in Tableau for each site.

This created several challenges:

  • Fragmented reporting across sites with no unified view of performance
  • Inconsistent data definitions and KPIs between locations
  • High maintenance overhead managing multiple data sources and reporting layers
  • Limited scalability of the on-premise infrastructure
  • Difficulty delivering cross-site insights and consolidated reporting

As a result, reporting was siloed, difficult to maintain, and lacked the consistency required for global decision-making.

The Solution

Cre8 Analytics designed and delivered a full modern data platform using Microsoft Fabric, migrating from on-premise systems to a unified, cloud-based architecture.

The solution included:

  • Migration of data from on-premises SQL Server environments into Fabric
  • Consolidation of multiple site-based data sources into a single, governed platform
  • Implementation of a scalable Bronze / Silver Lakehouse architecture for ingestion and transformation
  • Development of a structured Gold Warehouse layer to support enterprise reporting
  • Creation of a unified Power BI semantic model replacing multiple Tableau data sources
  • Delivery of consolidated dashboards providing cross-site visibility and standardised KPIs

This replaced a fragmented, site-specific reporting landscape with a centralised, scalable analytics platform.

The Outcome

  • 🌍 Unified reporting across all sites, enabling global visibility
  • 📊 Standardised KPIs and definitions across the organisation
  • ⚡ Improved performance and scalability through cloud-based architecture
  • 🔧 Reduced complexity and maintenance overhead by consolidating data sources
  • 🔄 Transition from multiple Tableau environments to a single Power BI platform

The Value

The organisation moved from siloed, site-level reporting to a fully integrated, enterprise-wide data platform.

Teams now have:

  • A single, consistent view of performance across all locations
  • The ability to analyse and compare sites using standardised metrics
  • A scalable foundation to support future data growth and advanced analytics

This transformation has enabled more effective global decision-making, improved operational alignment, and positioned the organisation for continued digital and data innovation.
