Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company streamlines sales reporting with Sunflower Lab and cuts manual analysis time to hours

Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company, a California-based pipe manufacturer, faced a significant challenge with its manual, time-consuming process for tracking sales and finance data. This outdated system was inefficient and lacked accuracy, hindering the company's ability to make quick, data-driven decisions. To address this, they partnered with Sunflower Lab to implement an automated reporting solution using Power BI.

Sunflower Lab implemented a comprehensive Power BI reporting system, sourcing data from the company's MS SQL Server and migrating it to Azure Data Lake via Synapse Analytics. This solution provided Pacific Corrugated Pipe with centralized, visual dashboards for sales by division, backlog orders, demand forecasting, plant comparison, and income statements. The result was a transformative improvement in decision-making velocity and operational insight, allowing the company to easily gauge performance against KPIs, analyze profit and loss, and strategically align product development with market demand. Sunflower Lab's solution ultimately set the company miles ahead of its legacy system.
