Hutchinson Engineering Cuts 2 Days a Week of Manual Reporting Time While Improving Delivery Reliability With Business Central Insights

Hutchinson Engineering, a Northern Ireland manufacturing firm, upgraded its ERP platform to Microsoft Business Central and required a modern reporting solution to replace its legacy SQL-based reporting setup. Heavy reliance on Excel had made reporting inefficient, error-prone, and inconsistent. By implementing Business Central Insights (BCI), Hutchinson regained trust in its data, identified and resolved bottlenecks, and significantly improved on-time delivery reporting. Within the first year, the company reduced 2 days of weekly manual effort, uncovered hidden data issues, and enabled leadership to make faster, more informed decisions based on live, consistent information.
