Case Study: MAI improves data accessibility and reporting with Sunflower Lab and Microsoft Power Platform

MAI cuts report-making time by 40–60% with Sunflower Lab

Mai, a company specializing in automotive sub-assembly modules, faced significant challenges due to data being scattered across multiple spreadsheets and plants. This fragmentation caused inefficient manual data entry, unreliable reporting, and delayed decision-making. To overcome these obstacles, Mai partnered with Sunflower Lab to enhance data accessibility and reporting using the Microsoft Power Platform.

Sunflower Lab implemented a centralized data solution using Power Apps for streamlined data collection and Power BI for reporting and analytics. They migrated data to Microsoft Azure and established data governance, which improved data quality and eliminated production downtime caused by server crashes. The results included a dramatic reduction in time spent on report generation and increased efficiency, with Mai expecting a 40-60% reduction in the time taken to make reports.
