Case Study: Botany Weaving reduces customs costs and improves data visibility with Glantus

Flexible solutions for specific data challenges

Botany Weaving, an Irish specialist fabrics manufacturer for aviation, was facing a heavy customs bill on imported raw materials, amounting to up to 3.8% of total revenue. To qualify for “inward processing” relief, the company needed full traceability from imported materials through to finished goods sold outside the EU, but its reporting was manual and spread across multiple databases. Botany Weaving turned to Glantus and its data platform to solve the challenge without replacing existing systems.

Glantus connected the platform to Botany Weaving’s legacy and other data sources, mapped the relevant information into a consolidated model, and built a dashboard for regulatory reporting and product traceability. The solution passed compliance audit, helped slash customs costs, automated reporting, and improved stock control with real-time visibility. Botany Weaving also began using Glantus for broader business intelligence, including sales trends, stock movement, and production data.
