In construction supply, decisions are often made under pressure. But when those decisions rely on gut feel instead of data, the risks multiply.

One of the UK’s leading suppliers knew this all too well. Their reporting was fragmented, slow, and reactive. By the time they spotted a trend, it was already a problem.

The Frustration of Manual Reporting

Finance teams were pulling data from multiple systems, whilst operations had no visibility into job performance. Leadership lacked real-time KPIs and strategic planning felt more like educated guessing than informed decision-making.

It was holding them back massively.

The Shift: Data Warehouse + BI Dashboards

Avrion helped the supplier consolidate their data into a central data warehouse and build dashboards that delivered valuable real-time insights.

Now, every team – from finance to transport to sales – has the metrics they need at their fingertips.

  • Job performance by region, vehicle, or driver
  • Financial KPIs across different record types and services
  • Customer trends and quote conversion rates
  • Exception tracking and service alerts

The Transformation

Decisions became faster, smarter, and more confident. Teams could spot issues before they escalated and the leadership team could steer the business with clarity. The company moved from reactive firefighting to proactive strategy.

Data isn’t just numbers – it’s power. And when it’s centralised, accessible, and actionable, it changes everything for the better.
