A global technology enterprise faced mounting challenges in its manufacturing operations due to fragmented planning, manual workflows, and delayed reporting cycles. Disconnected data sources, email-based processes, and limited coordination across teams created bottlenecks on the plant floor, impacting both decision-making and delivery timelines.
WNS partnered with the enterprise to lead a digital manufacturing transformation initiative focused on unifying planning, reporting, and cross-team coordination. Built on the Microsoft Power Platform, the solution integrated siloed systems into a centralized manufacturing data integration architecture, enabling faster access to insights and greater traceability.
The manufacturing collaboration platform connected teams across plants and functions, enabling seamless coordination and faster approvals. The solution introduced centralized workflows to drive manufacturing planning automation, while automated reporting in factories reduced data latency from days to just one hour. Scalable components supported consistent plant floor digitization across sites, and embedded alerts were configured to ensure SLA adherence and enable timely, insight-led decision-making.
