AlphaBOLD helps Netronix Integration Achieve Project Management Success

Executive Summary

Netronix Integration, Inc., as a growing business, needed a consolidated approach for managing its ongoing projects within its ERP solution. The company lacked visibility into KPIs and needed efficient data-driven reporting capabilities to stay relevant in the market. By onboarding BOLDSuite Analytics – AlphaBOLD’s custom data platform, the company was able to overcome these challenges and benefit from consolidated project management capabilities.

Customer Challenges

A US-based global security integration leader with five companies in its corporate portfolio, Netronix Integration, Inc., realized that it lacked a consolidated approach to project management within its ERP system. Without a proper process to measure and evaluate the progress of its ongoing operations in the ERP platform, the company was spending hours manually creating, managing, and updating reports in Excel.

And with no proper tool to measure key performance indicators (KPIs), obtaining an accurate picture of project performance was challenging and inconsistent. Netronix turned to AlphaBOLD to help connect its real-time ERP data with Power BI’s analytics, reporting, and data visualization technologies through their BOLDSuite Analytics Project Management dashboard.

Partner solution

The BOLDSuite Analytics solution uses AlphaBOLD’s proprietary ERP data connector for data warehouse to pull data for use by Power BI. In the case of Netronix, AlphaBOLD used its Project Management dashboard to provide a complete breakdown of complex project data with drill-down charts and graphs. This information enables Netronix’s team to:

  • Track outcomes in real-time for faster decision-making, keeping projects on schedule and budget, and analyzing data to understand specific patterns, discrepancies, and trends.
  • Quickly load up-to-date data, and tailor it to their exact needs.
  • Keep projects on schedule and within budget with detailed reports.
  • BOLDSuite Analytics easily adapts to any company’s ERP environment, ensuring that its data never leaves the organization. The REST-based connection to the ERP pulls data to deliver full and incremental refreshes.

BOLDSuite Analytics helps Netronix handle large datasets and opt for self-service BI—which it didn’t possess before AlphaBOLD stepped in, with OAuth 2.0 authentication support.

Achieving Project Management Success

"The AlphaBOLD team spent time with us to understand our business problem and proposed a solution that would help us overcome our current challenges and enhance our operations overall,” said Ivan Golian, VP of Technology. “With the BOLDSuite Analytics Project Management report in place, we now have a much clearer view of project data without undergoing weeks of complicated training sessions or materials."

With BOLDSuite Analytics as its reporting solution, Netronix enjoys a very detailed project data approach. AlphaBOLD’s solution helps the company pull data into Power BI and streamline analytics capabilities to track budgets, costs, and statuses.

Customer Benefits

Using the Project Management dashboard, they keep things in check and improve project timelines, resource utilization/performance, and profitability. These new capabilities help reduce project failures and contribute to the company’s overall growth and progress. The Netronix team now enjoys clear visibility into critical project processes with

  • KPIs display critical information

  • Ability to isolate discrepancies through drill-down reporting

With a detailed breakdown of actual vs. labor hours at their fingertips, Netronix’s project managers can easily track employee performance and productivity. The project management dashboard also provides a clear view of materials being used vs. expected materials and helps the company accurately determine the timeline for project completion.
