Case studies

What changes when the numbers are trusted

Anonymised engagements, real outcomes. Names available on request during a consultation.

Wholesale & distribution

One version of revenue across five entities

The challenge

A distribution group ran five Exact Online administrations plus a separate CRM. Consolidated reporting took two weeks of manual Excel work each month.

Our approach

Maratus built an Azure SQL data platform with automated Exact Online and CRM integration, one semantic model and a Power BI management pack.

Results

  • Month-end pack ready on day 2 instead of day 12
  • Margin per customer visible for the first time
  • Manual Excel consolidation fully retired
Manufacturing

From gut feel to daily production insight

The challenge

A manufacturer had production data in AFAS, machine logs and spreadsheets. Planners and management each worked from different figures.

Our approach

We integrated AFAS and machine data into Microsoft Fabric, modelled OEE and order profitability, and automated daily exception alerts with Power Automate.

Results

  • Daily OEE and scrap dashboards on the shop floor
  • Order profitability per run, not per quarter
  • Automatic alerts when margins drop below threshold
Professional services

Utilisation and WIP without the spreadsheet circus

The challenge

A 60-person consultancy tracked hours in one tool, invoicing in Moneybird and projects in a third system. Utilisation reporting was always a month old.

Our approach

Maratus connected all three systems via APIs into Azure, built a Power BI utilisation and WIP model, and automated weekly partner summaries.

Results

  • Live utilisation per consultant and team
  • WIP and write-offs visible weekly
  • Partners receive automated Monday-morning summaries
“For the first time, finance and sales look at the same numbers. Our monthly close reporting went from ten days to two.”
