Data Analytics Modernization for a Global Home Textiles Leader
Are you looking for more than just dashboards? See how a home textiles company partnered with United Techno to turn complex data into actionable insights with Azure and Power BI.
Project Overview
Founded in 1954 and headquartered in New Jersey, our client is a recognized leader in home textiles and décor. Their product portfolio includes table linens, kitchen textiles, rugs, pillows, window treatments, and throws, sold under both branded and private-label lines. With offices and showrooms across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, they have built a strong reputation for design, sourcing, and product development.
The company partnered with United Techno to transform its reporting landscape. By building scalable dashboards and paginated reports on Azure and Power BI, the client gained real-time visibility into sales, inventory, logistics, and brand performance, helping them stay competitive in a dynamic retail environment.
Business Challenge
With rapid growth and expanding operations, the client needed to address several pain points in reporting and analytics:
- Siloed Data – Information on sales, orders, logistics, and costs was spread across multiple systems.
- Manual Reporting – Teams relied on time-consuming processes that slowed down decision-making.
- Lack of Proactive Monitoring – Delays in data refreshes were not caught until they caused disruptions.
- Compliance Complexity – Retailers such as Walmart and Amazon required strict routing and logistics reporting.
- Scalability Needs – New business models like drop shipping and D2C channels required more flexible reporting.
