The challenge
High-stakes decisions on contested data
Ourofino, a national leader in animal health, had outgrown its reporting. Commercial and operational data lived in disconnected systems and manually maintained spreadsheets. Every report was assembled by hand, took days to produce, and rarely reconciled with the version another team brought to the same meeting.
The cost wasn’t just analyst time. Leaders were making pricing, planning, and inventory calls on stale, contested numbers — and the debate about whose figures were right was crowding out the decision itself.
The solution
One governed platform, from pipelines to dashboards
OneSolution designed and built a governed data platform on the Microsoft stack — every layer engineered so the business could finally trust, and self-serve, its own numbers.
Modern lakehouse
A governed data platform on the Microsoft stack, consolidating commercial and operational sources into one auditable foundation.
Reliable pipelines
Tested, observable ELT that lands data on schedule — replacing the manual exports that used to consume analyst days.
Certified semantic model
One definition of every KPI, secured with row-level access, so “revenue” means the same thing in every meeting.
Executive Power BI dashboards
Decision-first dashboards for commercial and operations leadership — designed with the people who use them.
Demand forecasting
Predictive models built on the governed foundation, feeding planning with forecasts the business can trust.
Capability transfer
Documentation, training, and pairing so Ourofino’s internal team runs and extends the platform themselves.
How we delivered
Phased delivery, compounding trust
- 01
Highest-value decisions first
We mapped the decisions leadership made weekly and started with the data behind the highest-stakes ones — not a boil-the-ocean inventory.
- 02
A working platform in phases
Each release shipped usable dashboards on governed data. Value arrived in weeks, and trust compounded with every phase.
- 03
Transfer, then step back
We trained the internal team to own the platform, staying on for the workloads where a senior partner still added the most.
The results
The data people argue from, not about
Reporting that took days now takes hours. Commercial and operations teams plan from the same governed numbers, self-service analytics answers most questions before they become tickets, and demand forecasting runs on a foundation the business trusts.
Microsoft recognized the engagement — and Ourofino’s internal team now runs the platform day to day, which is exactly how we measure a platform engagement’s success.
