Case Study: Metro Supply Chain Group achieves supply chain efficiency and cost savings with Vena Solutions’ Power BI Connector

Data Visualization With Vena’s Power BI Connector Drives Supply Chain Efficiency for MSCG

Metro Supply Chain Group (MSCG) is a third‑party logistics provider operating 70 distribution sites and more than 12 million sq. ft. of warehouse space across North America and Europe. Before Vena, MSCG relied on manual Excel reporting across disparate systems (warehouse, ERP and finance), which made it difficult and time‑consuming to link operational metrics like labour costs and fill rates to financial outcomes and to give stakeholders a real‑time, holistic view of performance.

By implementing Vena and its Power BI Connector, MSCG centralized operational and financial data (SQL Server, Dynamics GP and client systems), automated reports that refresh multiple times per day, and delivered interactive Power BI dashboards to clients and managers. The single source of truth enabled proactive trend analysis, tangible cost savings, stronger client relationships and a culture of continuous improvement — and set the stage for more predictive supply‑chain and revenue modeling.
