Whyte & Mackay distributor portal Power BI dashboard rebuild case study – Flyte

Business Challenge

Whyte and Mackay were looking to redevelop an existing PowerBi implementation which had become non-functional due to legacy data sources becoming disconnected and excessive views containing no live data. The aim of the project was to rebuild the PowerBi dashboards to return full functionality and develop additional metrics to align with their wider business processes and function effectively.

The Solution

Distributor Portal PowerBi Rebuild

Power Automate / PowerBi

Flyte worked through a process of scoping and rebuilding of three dashboard alongside key stakeholders at Whyte & Mackay. The rebuilding process ensured that the functionality was returned to each dashboard and that all data and visuals were presented to deliver the most value to all users and help inform business decisions and performance.

The Result

Flyte have continued to deliver ongoing solution support for these PowerBi dashboards in addition to the wider Power Platform solutions across Whyte & Mackay.

Following completion of the rebuild, a series of further projects were delivered to expand the use of PowerBi across other functions.

“I had the pleasure of working with Costa, who was tasked with rebuilding a series of PowerBI reports using data from our Distributor Stock and Depletion portal. Costa was fantastic to work with; his communication was always exceptional, and he was adept at asking the right questions to clearly understand our needs. He maintained regular and appropriate contact intervals to keep me updated and to further progress the development of the new reports. The outcome is a series of visually impressive reports that are highly useful for our business, truly showcasing what we were aiming for. Compared to the old reports we had to replace, the new ones are significantly better. Costa was very easy to work with, always pleasant and approachable, and he carried out his work with a positive and professional manner.”
