Initial situation

The Comas Group is faced with the task of modernizing its reporting and analysis processes. Heterogeneous data sources and manual Excel evaluations make it difficult to obtain a consistent and reliable overall picture of financial, project and sales figures. With international growth, complexity is also increasing — various ERP systems, historical databases and new technical requirements require a reliable solution.

In order to enable transparency, scalability and efficient analyses, the Comas Group opts to build a central data platform based on Microsoft Fabric. Today, it forms the basis for modern, flexible reporting in Power BI and the development towards a data-driven organization.

Our detailed approach at Comas

Data integration

The various ERP, project and sales data as well as historical Excel inventories are connected and converted into a uniform structure via Microsoft Fabric.

Data modeling and preparation

The data is purified, harmonized and modeled in a data vault approach in a layered model. This creates a consistent, scalable basis for all further analyses.

Dashboard development

Based on the data models, Power BI creates interactive reports for finance, sales and project controlling. Users get self-service options and clear, intuitive visualizations.

Scale & Operate

The data platform is constantly being expanded: new systems, international locations and additional use cases are being integrated. Clear governance and iterative development create a sustainable reporting ecosystem.

upshot

From isolated solutions to a scalable data platform in Microsoft Fabric

The result is a modern reporting landscape that, for the first time, bundles all relevant financial, project and sales data in a central Power BI interface. The new data platform in Microsoft Fabric creates transparent, consistent analyses across all locations and enables well-founded decisions in real time. As a result, Comas increases data quality, increases efficiency in controlling and lays the basis for further use cases such as AI-based analyses, forecasting and international scaling.
