Case Study: Allied Modular achieves minutes-fast reporting and streamlined data-driven decisions with Microsoft Power BI

Modular structure innovator builds a better data framework with all-in-one business management solution

Allied Modular, a U.S. manufacturer of specialized modular structures, faced fragmented on‑premises systems, slow reporting, and vulnerable VPN access across multiple sites. To modernize and centralize operations the company implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics 365 Sales, and adopted Microsoft Power BI for analytics to replace dozens of siloed applications and enable cloud‑based data management.

Using Microsoft Power BI alongside Business Central, Allied Modular cut reporting times from hours to minutes, reduced cost per order by about 19%, and realized roughly USD 220,000 in annual IT simplification savings while shrinking its application footprint from 26 to seven. The integrated Microsoft solution sped decision‑making, improved BOM and inventory visibility, and freed staff to focus on higher‑value work.
