Case Study: Whetstone Distribution centralizes data and saves 1,000 man-hours with Analytics8

Whetstone Distribution saves 1,000 hours with Analytics8

Whetstone Distribution, a midsized Midwest meat distributor formed from a merger, struggled with four separate ERP systems that prevented unified business intelligence. They turned to vendor Analytics8 to implement a modern data platform on Databricks to centralize their data, automate reporting, and create a foundation for AI initiatives.

Analytics8 designed and built a centralized data warehouse on Azure Databricks, unifying the ERP data and introducing a governance framework with Unity Catalog. The solution automated reporting in Power BI and included an AI pricing optimization model. The results were significant, saving the company approximately 1,000 man-hours by eliminating manual reporting and providing all decision-makers with trusted, daily insights.
