The implementation
Existing enterprise data.
A connected reporting environment.
Enterprise organizations generate enormous amounts of operational data, yet valuable information often remains scattered across ERP systems, emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected reports.
TechnoSignage implemented an end-to-end automated reporting solution for a major automotive manufacturer, connecting enterprise-generated reports with automated workflows, centralized processing, and interactive business intelligence dashboards.
The result is a streamlined environment for daily visibility into order management, warehouse operations, and supply chain performance.

01 / The business challenge
Data was available.
Visibility was limited.
The challenge was transforming existing enterprise data into accessible, consistent, and actionable information, while minimizing manual intervention.
Repetitive data preparation
Collecting, renaming, transferring, and consolidating files adds recurring work before analysis can begin.
Limited centralized visibility
Different stages of the order lifecycle are difficult to review through one reporting interface.
Reporting dependencies
Business users depend on recurring preparation activities before updated information becomes available.
Complex operational monitoring
Reviewing backorders, fulfillment activities, and future demand requires combining multiple datasets.
02 / The solution
SAP reporting automation.
From source to dashboard.
Microsoft Power Automate, data integration, and automated ETL work together to move SAP reports into a centralized reporting environment. This reporting automation establishes the data foundation for daily supply chain analytics.
- 01
Enterprise data generation
SAP generates scheduled operational reports for warehouse activities, order intake, invoicing, backorders, and future orders, then distributes them by email.
- 02
Workflow automation
Microsoft Power Automate monitors a designated inbox, identifies report emails, retrieves attachments, renames files using predefined conventions, and prepares and transfers them to SFTP.
- 03
Secure file transfer
SFTP provides a structured file exchange mechanism between the automated workflow and the data integration environment.
- 04
Automated ETL processing
The integration process retrieves the reporting files, processes incoming information, and loads the data into a centralized repository.
- 05
Centralized business intelligence
The reporting platform brings the processed operational datasets together in a unified environment for dashboard analysis.
- 06
Daily dashboard refresh
Dashboards refresh daily so authorized business users can access updated operational information online. Normal daily processing runs automatically.
03 / Dashboard capabilities
Supply chain analytics.
One centralized dashboard.
The supply chain dashboard brings order intake, fulfillment status, and outstanding demand together. Warehouse dashboard views help teams monitor pick and pack activities, while backorder aging and future orders support operational review and planning.
Order intake analytics
Monitor incoming orders and demand patterns across periods, business segments, and markets.
Understand order activity and demand trends.
Warehouse pick & pack
Review orders progressing through warehouse picking and packing activities.
See operational workload and fulfillment progress.
Pre-invoiced orders
Monitor orders that have reached the pre-invoicing stage.
Make the order processing lifecycle more transparent.
Invoiced but not shipped
Identify invoiced orders that remain outstanding for shipment.
Review pending dispatch activities.
Backorder monitoring
Analyze outstanding backorders across available aging categories.
Identify and prioritize outstanding demand.
Future order visibility
Review upcoming orders and known future demand across reporting periods.
Support operational planning.
Explore the information that matters.
Depending on the underlying dataset, dashboard users can analyze information through filters such as:
- Country or market
- Company or business unit
- Product category
- Order type
- Reporting period
- Part number or product identifier
04 / Business value
Less manual processing.
Greater operational visibility.
A practical change in how reporting data is collected, prepared, and accessed, with business value built into the daily workflow.
Automated reporting workflow
Scheduled files move through the integration process without manual downloading, renaming, uploading, and consolidation during normal operations.
Centralized operational information
Business teams access multiple operational indicators through one reporting environment.
Consistent daily reporting
Automated processing and scheduled dashboard refreshes establish a predictable reporting cycle.
Improved information accessibility
Authorized users access dashboards online and explore relevant information using interactive filters.
Better operational monitoring
Consolidated dashboards help teams review order activity, fulfillment stages, backorders, and future demand.
Extensible integration architecture
The approach can be adapted to additional reporting requirements, data sources, and business processes.
05 / Beyond supply chain
