Banner Dairy Day Ice Cream Industry
Company Overview A well-loved Indian FMCG brand with a pan-India footprint and a strong presence in both retail and institutional markets. Known for its wide product range and commitment to quality, the company had ambitions far beyond tradition—scaling operations 10x and building an intelligent, data-first organization. With a network of over 1,000 distributors, 120+ sales representatives, and thousands of cold storage units deployed across the country, the challenge wasn’t just volume—it was visibility. Despite its reach and popularity, the organization was operating in silos—data silos. And scaling with guesswork was no longer sustainable. The Meltdown Before the Makeover: Business Challenges Despite its impressive product and market presence, the company was facing growing pains that technology could no longer ignore. Key Operational Challenges: Disparate Data Sources: Business-critical data was scattered across Infionix ERP, Ivy CRM, freezer monitoring tools, and multiple Excel sheets, causing fragmentation. Delayed Reporting: Insights were delayed by hours or days due to manual collation and processing, leading to reactive rather than proactive decision-making. Freezer Tracking Chaos: Over 2,000 freezer units deployed in the field couldn’t be monitored effectively. Usage, power status, and maintenance status were often unknown or inaccurate. KPI Inconsistencies: Without a master data governance framework, key metrics differed by region or team, creating misalignment and confusion. Scalability Concerns: With aggressive growth targets, their legacy systems couldn’t support modern analytics needs or real-time collaboration. The Recipe for Transformation: Business Objectives The leadership team outlined a forward-looking data vision centered on agility, automation, and actionability. Strategic Goals: Centralize and unify all business-critical data into one trusted source Automate daily reporting and enable real-time operational intelligence Equip field teams with mobile dashboards for on-the-go decision-making Ensure secure, role-based access for distributors and sales heads Eliminate human dependencies in reporting workflows Build a future-proof data foundation aligned with Microsoft Fabric The goal wasn’t just visibility—it was data confidence at every level of the organization.

With deep agrarian roots and a manufacturing backbone, the company delivers premium cotton to top global fashion brands, bridging tradition and technology.

Company Overview A global pharmaceutical powerhouse with more than 11,000 employees and operations in 75+ countries has spent more than a century perfecting drug discovery and manufacturing.

Leadership knew the next era of growth would hinge on turning that data into real‑time intelligence. Departmental Challenges Human Resource Disjointed systems and manual reconciliation across 5+ data sources Limited real-time visibility on attrition and hiring trends Leadership lacked strategic self-service analytics No predictive tools for workforce planning Procurement Inconsistent data across POs, inventory, and supplier performance Sourcing decisions delayed due to reactive, siloed reporting Spend classification lacked a unified approach SAP SAC limitations in agility and rising costs Finance Time-consuming reconciliation and KPI reporting Manual AOP alignment efforts SAC constraints blocking scalable analytics Goals Behind the Journey: Business Objectives The transformation wasn't just about replacing tools; it was about building a modern decision-making ecosystem.

Their product catalogue boasts over 200,000 SKUs, cutting across categories from casualwear to luxury apparel. The operational scale was immense with dynamic pricing, inventory planning, marketing campaigns, and merchandising decisions occurring daily across hundreds of zones. To remain competitive in a volatile retail market, they needed a modern data foundation that could deliver speed, consistency, and clarity across the board. The Fractured Foundation: Challenges The company’s earlier data setup was based on Google BigQuery, with Python-based cloud functions handling extraction from Oracle, Snowflake, and other systems. However, it suffered from multiple critical challenges: Stale insights: Reporting delays of 24–72 hours were common, impacting responsiveness. Data silos: Sales, merchandising, warehouse, and marketing teams relied on disconnected systems and reports. Scalability issues: The data pipelines could not handle frequent product refreshes or real-time updates during high-velocity campaigns. Manual overload: Business users spent 15–20 hours/week validating numbers and reconciling inconsistencies between reports. The real issue wasn't just about tools; it was about trust. Functional teams lacked confidence in their data, resulting in slow decisions, missed opportunities, and duplicated efforts. Goals Behind the Journey: Business Objectives Modernize Analytics: Migrate from fragmented legacy systems to a unified, scalable data platform Enable Real-Time Decisions: Provide instant access to insights for faster, data-driven actions Empower Business Users: Promote self-service analytics for 200+ stakeholders across departments Optimize Inventory & Margins: Improve inventory turns and margin visibility with timely insights Eliminate Manual Effort: Automate reporting and reduce reconciliation time Scale with Confidence: Build a future-ready architecture aligned with Microsoft Fabric strategy Why They Chose atQor The company selected atQor based on three strategic differentiators: Expertise in Microsoft Fabric & Azure ecosystematQor’s proven delivery frameworks for modern data platforms, coupled with co-sell alignment with Microsoft, made them an ideal transformation partner.
