Client

A leading global apparel manufacturer with over 30,000 employees and large-scale production facilities across the Middle East.

Ambition

To transform from traditional, reactive manufacturing to an intelligent, data-first enterprise by gaining real-time visibility into their entire material consumption lifecycle.

Outcome

Architected a modern data lakehouse on Microsoft Azure that delivered a single source of truth, reduced material wastage by up to 20%, and enabled a shift to predictive, real-time decision-making.

The Ambition

A leading global apparel manufacturer with over 30,000 employees and large-scale production facilities across the Middle East.

The Challenge

Despite using a modern ERP system, the business was flying blind. A lack of real-time visibility into material consumption was causing significant business pain: frequent material wastage, inaccurate cost planning, stockouts that delayed production, and operational silos that forced reactive decisions. These challenges were directly impacting their margins and their ability to deliver on time.

The Architectural Blueprint

In a high-volume, cost-sensitive industry, the client's ambition was to achieve operational excellence and protect their margins. They needed to move beyond the limitations of standard ERP reporting and create a culture of proactive, data-driven decision-making across their planning, sourcing, and finance departments.

Ambition, Realized

The new platform marked a significant shift from traditional reporting to predictive, real-time decision-making. Material availability bottlenecks were eliminated, improving on-time delivery. The unified data empowered planning, sourcing, and finance teams to collaborate from a single source of truth. Powered by Microsoft Azure, the manufacturer now operates as a true data-first enterprise, achieving operational excellence and setting a new industry benchmark for intelligent manufacturing.
