Client Background

They specialize in greenhouse-grown fruits and vegetables by introducing innovative growing techniques that enable them to produce high-quality, flavorful produce year-round.
Challenge
The company faced challenges in the real-time analysis of laborer performance across different farms due to the limitations of their existing solution. This drastically impacted their decision-making and, ultimately, their crop yield.
The client’s leadership team knew optimum workforce performance rested on its ability to ensure effective data management, analysis, and reporting, which was a necessary step in their transformation.
Xoriant Solution | Key Contributions
Since Xoriant brought deep expertise in data, IoT, and Microsoft technologies like Azure Synapse and Power BI, the client joined hands to design a solution to migrate the data from all the farms and create a data warehouse for effective, reliable reporting.
Xoriant designed a solution to migrate data from all the farms and create a data warehouse to streamline reporting. Synapse pipelines for ETL processes pulled on-premises data from a SQL server and file server into Azure Synapse. Consolidated Power BI reports reflected the data on all labors across farms in near real-time.
The team set up real-time alerts to detect anomalies in business processes without manual intervention. Additionally, the team created a Power BI dashboard to help the client monitor all the real-time data in one place. Enhanced reporting directly translated to higher efficiency and a bigger crop yield.
