Challenge:
What were the data management and analytics challenges for Carbery Group?
For Carbery Group, success depends on having clear insight into production, supply chain, and market trends that enable quick decision-making. However, corporate growth based on mergers and acquisitions led to a fragmented digital infrastructure, which meant reporting involved manually collating data from multiple sources. As a result, the company had limited visibility into key metrics, and decisions were often delayed.
“Our partnership with Ricoh/PFH has been a strong and collaborative one, supporting Carbery as we took our first steps with Microsoft Fabric and began modernising our BI landscape. Ricoh’s technical guidance and practical support along the way have helped us generate faster, more dependable insights, improve decision making across the business, and drive genuine adoption of data and analytics across our global teams.”
