The hard part in agri-food is that the truth lives in ERP modules and spreadsheets, and no one can touch the production system to get it out without risk. We stood up a governed data layer with a strict read-only path to the ERP, then built the views the business actually runs on: production throughput, finance and sales, and a farmer-intelligence picture that finally made farm-level economics legible. The asset isn’t any single chart; it’s the governed layer underneath that every report now trusts.
The challenge
Operational and financial data sat trapped across ERP modules and spreadsheets, with no consolidated view of farming and production. Management couldn’t see volume, yield, order throughput or farmer-level economics in one place. Any solution had to read from the production ERP without risking it.
The approach
A read-only, no-touch-on-production extraction layer feeding a governed, cleaned data store, so reporting reads ERP data without writing back to the live system.
Engineered production KPIs (volume/yield, orders/day, line-opening rates) and finance/management and sales/vendor dashboards on top of the governed layer.
A farmer/agri-intelligence view (farmer profile, productivity, geography, field-officer coverage, and loss-making “red-farmer” economics) to make farm-level ROI visible.
Artifacts and handoff
A governed clean-data layer plus a live, multi-domain BI suite (production, finance, sales/vendor, farmer intelligence) running in production with named business owners.
Reported measures and design targets
In production: dashboards in daily use by named business owners
Zero-write integration: read-only, no-touch-on-production ERP architecture
One governed layer: replacing scattered ERP exports and spreadsheets
Multi-domain BI: production, finance, sales/vendor, and farmer intelligence
