This case study illustrates a common challenge for manufacturers implementing Industry 4.0. The solution presented demonstrates our proven approach to unlocking the predictive power of data. Is your supply chain data going to waste? Let’s discuss your integration strategy →
For a $555M electronics distributor serving 3,200+ customers, managing 140+ suppliers across 18 countries was a daily battle. Despite using sophisticated ERPs, they had a critical blind spot: zero real-time visibility once goods left the factory.
Carrier updates arrived hours late. Production schedules shifted without warning. The operations team was stuck in perpetual crisis management, reacting to problems only after they occurred.
A critical component from a Taiwanese supplier was delayed three weeks due to port congestion. The team discovered this via a customer complaint, not their own data.
By then, 47 orders were backlogged. The incident cost $2.7M in lost sales, penalties, and expedited freight. It was the wake-up call that they needed a predictive command center.
We used Azure Data Factory to ingest real-time data from 140+ suppliers, carriers, and customs brokers, creating a single source of truth for every SKU in transit.
Using Azure Synapse Analytics, we built models that correlate shipment paths with external data (weather, port congestion) to predict delays 5-14 days in advance.
We deployed Power BI dashboards with automated alerts. High-risk shipments now trigger instant notifications to procurement for alternative sourcing.
