Case Study: Red Wing Shoe Company achieves faster, data-driven insights with Microsoft Power BI

Red Wing Shoes - Customer Case Study

Red Wing Shoe Company, a 115‑year‑old U.S. footwear manufacturer and retailer with 700 stores and 2,300 employees, needed to scale collaboration, mobile productivity, and data‑driven decision making as it expanded globally. To modernize its workplace and break down silos, Red Wing adopted Microsoft 365 and Azure services and deployed Microsoft Power BI as its analytics engine.

Using Microsoft Power BI alongside Microsoft 365, Teams, OneDrive, and Azure (including Azure Machine Learning), Red Wing centralized reporting, sped collaboration, and enabled new AI‑driven quality‑inspection workflows. The Microsoft Power BI–driven analytics and cloud tools cut a billing‑process project timeline by 10–15% (about 60 days of labor), reduced conversational emails by roughly 10%, and improved mobile productivity and security across the organization.
