Case Study: OSG (UK) Ltd achieves faster, flexible Dynamics AX reporting and improved profitability with PrecisionPoint

OSG (UK) Ltd - Customer Case Study

OSG (UK) Ltd, a subsidiary of OSG Corporation of Japan, was relying on Microsoft Dynamics AX but found the out‑of‑the‑box reports and separate OLAP cubes too limited to support decision‑making, especially given volatile multi‑currency purchasing and the need to understand profitability. In early 2009 they looked for a reporting and analysis solution and engaged PrecisionPoint (including PrecisionPoint Financials and Advanced Inventory with XLPublisher) to give users faster, more flexible access to Dynamics AX data.

PrecisionPoint delivered a user‑friendly data warehouse and Excel‑based reporting tools with web/PDF/SharePoint distribution, letting OSG (UK) Ltd build new reports in 10–15 minutes and automate the monthly accounts pack. The PrecisionPoint implementation improved visibility of product mix and margins, enabled targeted cross‑selling to raise revenue, maintained margin control amid exchange‑rate swings, provided an audit‑accurate “single source of truth,” and freed finance staff from manual reporting tasks.
