Microsoft, data and AI for manufacturing
From the shop floor to the boardroom, we help manufacturers turn fragmented ERP and production data into one trusted view of yield, cost and supply chain, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Fabric.
The data problem in manufacturing
Most manufacturers run on a mix of Dynamics 365, older AX, MES systems and spreadsheets, with analytics bolted on through Synapse, data lakes and Power BI Premium.
That leaves duplicated data models, slow reporting, and no single answer for yield, scrap, inventory or on time delivery. Finance closes on one version of the numbers while operations works from another.
As the number of reporting users grows, so does the cost and complexity of keeping those separate systems running.
Veratas brings production, supply chain and finance data together on Microsoft Fabric and Dynamics 365, so the shop floor and the boardroom work from the same trusted figures.
How Veratas helps manufacturers
We meet you wherever you are, from a single reporting fix to a full move off legacy ERP, and we stay accountable for the outcome.
Consolidate on Microsoft Fabric
One platform for pipelines, warehousing and reporting, replacing separate Synapse capacity, data lakes and Power BI Premium with a single governed estate.
Run operations on Dynamics 365
Finance, supply chain and production in one ERP, with Finance & Operations and Supply Chain Management feeding clean, current data to analytics.
Give the floor real numbers
Power BI on Direct Lake for yield, scrap, OEE, inventory and supplier performance, refreshed fast enough to act on within the same shift.
Bring in shop floor and OT data
Historian, MES, SCADA and IoT signals landed into Fabric Real-Time Intelligence alongside ERP, so production and finance see one version of the truth.
Govern it with Microsoft Purview
Lineage, cataloguing and access control across the estate, so the numbers people report on are trusted and auditable.
TMS International: steel services on Microsoft Fabric
A global steel services business running Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations came to Veratas with an analytics estate that had grown costly and slow. Read the full case study →
The challenge
Separate Synapse, data lake and Power BI Premium systems meant duplicate data models, high maintenance cost and performance that degraded as the reporting user base grew into the thousands.
What we did
We ran a phased migration that consolidated the estate onto a single Microsoft Fabric platform, replacing Synapse, the data lake and Premium capacity, with Direct Lake for performance and Microsoft Purview for governance.
The outcome
One unified pipeline and reporting architecture, lower running cost from retiring redundant services, and Direct Lake removing the import and refresh bottlenecks that had slowed reporting for thousands of users.
Why it matters
The same pattern fits most manufacturers: consolidate the analytics sprawl, govern it properly, and give every user fast, consistent numbers without paying to keep three systems alive.
Manufacturing solutions
The capabilities behind this work, each with its own detail.
Dynamics 365 for manufacturing
ERP for finance, supply chain and production operations, from planning and costing to warehouse and quality.
Microsoft Fabric for manufacturing
One data platform for plant, sensor and supply chain data, with real time OEE, downtime and yield analytics.
Power BI for manufacturing
Dashboards for yield, scrap, OEE, inventory and supplier performance, tied back to finance so the numbers reconcile.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from manufacturing teams
Yes. Many manufacturers run a mix, and we work across current Dynamics 365 and legacy AX through the migration, so reporting keeps running while you move.
Yes. We run phased migrations that consolidate Synapse, data lakes and Premium capacity into one Fabric platform, exactly as we did for TMS International.
Yield, scrap, OEE, downtime, inventory, on time delivery and supplier performance, tied back to finance so operational and financial numbers reconcile.
Yes. We bring historian, MES, SCADA and IoT data into Microsoft Fabric alongside ERP, so the floor and finance work from one version of the truth.
