Navigating data transformation: Eloy's strategic shift to Power BI with Vynta

Introduction

Eloy is a forward-thinking company specializing in innovative solutions for the construction industry. Since 2020, Eloy has been working closely with Vynta to manage and acquire its Qlik licenses. This partnership has provided Eloy with strategic advice and personalized support, enabling the effective use of Qlik solutions for data visualization and analytics.

After in-depth discussions regarding the company’s evolving needs and long-term objectives, it became clear that - while Qlik Sense / Qlik Cloud are powerful platforms - they were not the most suitable solutions for Eloy’s specific project requirements. Following a comprehensive analysis of the business and technical needs, it was determined that Power BI was offering better alignment with the company’s operational and technical goals. The decision to adopt Power BI was driven by its advanced features, seamless integration with other Microsoft tools already in use, and its strong cost-effectiveness. This strategic transition allows Eloy to optimize its analytical processes while leveraging a more flexible and scalable solution that supports future growth.

Phased migration strategy

The first phase of the project involved the migration of Eloy’s accounting system, which was successfully completed over a period of twenty days. Following the success of this initial phase, further migrations were carried out, including the integration of production systems, time tracking, and project management systems.

Looking ahead, more projects are planned, including the integration of the concrete plant system and the human resources platform. These future phases aim to streamline operations and create a fully unified system across all departments, driving operational efficiency and better data governance.

Centralized data and advanced reporting

Data from Eloy's various systems is replicated into a centralized database, where it is transformed, enriched, and consolidated to ensure data quality and consistency.

The system generates data models using SSAS cubes, which serve as the foundation for Eloy’s reporting structure. The Power BI (cloud) reports are built on top of these cubes, offering comprehensive and dynamic insights that support business decision-making. This architecture ensures that Eloy’s data is not only accessible but also actionable in real-time.

Backend development and reporting

Vynta plays a crucial role in helping Eloy build a robust backend solution that forms the foundation of its data architecture. With Vynta's expertise, the backend is optimized, scalable, and capable of managing smooth data processing, storage, and integration across multiple systems.
Simultaneously, Eloy’s internal data team is responsible for creating visual reports, transforming raw data into insightful and interactive visualizations. This collaboration between Vynta’s backend development and the internal team’s reporting efforts ensures that Eloy has a seamless end-to-end data solution, enabling decision-makers to access clear, actionable insights that drive business success.

Conclusion: a unified approach to data transformation

Through its partnership with Vynta, Eloy is not only transitioning to more advanced solutions like Power BI, but also evolving its entire data ecosystem. This comprehensive approach - combining robust backend architecture, seamless data migration, and advanced reporting - positions Eloy for sustained success in its data-driven transformation journey. With more projects on the horizon, Eloy is well-equipped to handle future growth and operational challenges with an integrated and efficient system.
