Scalable BI Solution for a Beverage Manufacturer and Distributor Multi-Source Data Consolidation Delivered in 5 Months

Background The Client Challenge

Our client is a large Australian beverage manufacturer and distributor supplying supermarket chains, hospitality venues, and independent retailers across the Asia-Pacific region. The company manages a broad product portfolio spanning soft drinks, energy beverages, and premium water brands with operations covering manufacturing, supply chain, wholesale distribution, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels.

As the business expanded, the volume and complexity of data generated across its operations grew rapidly. Data from manufacturing, sales, distribution, e-commerce, finance, and external market sources was stored across multiple on-premises and cloud systems with no integration layer making enterprise-wide analysis slow, unreliable, and heavily dependent on manual processes. The key challenges the client faced included:

• Data scattered across ERPs, internal databases, SharePoint, partner Excel reports, and e-commerce platforms with no unified view of business performance
• Legacy reporting relied on manual data extraction and reconciliation a slow, error-prone process that consumed significant time from the finance and operations teams
• No transparency in data flows business users had limited visibility into how figures were calculated or where data originated
• The existing system could not scale with business growth adding new data sources or report types required substantial IT effort and long lead times
• No analytics sandbox data analysts had no safe environment to run experiments without risking impact on live production data

The company partnered with Versich with extensive expertise in BI implementation and data warehousing to design and build a fully scalable, cloud-based BI solution integrating all data sources and delivering self service analytics across the entire business.
