The Challenge

Eclipse Power faced significant challenges that hindered its ability to accurately assess business performance. The organisation operated with fragmented reporting systems, which limited visibility across departments and made it difficult to consolidate data for meaningful insights. This lack of integration slowed decision-making and reduced agility in responding to market changes. Additionally, the company relied heavily on manual processes and Excel-based tools for reporting and analysis. While Excel is flexible, it is not designed for large-scale, enterprise-level data management. Manual data entry and reconciliation across multiple spreadsheets consumed substantial time and effort, often requiring repeated checks to ensure accuracy. These processes introduced inefficiencies, increased the risk of human error, and made it challenging to maintain data consistency. Furthermore, as the volume of data grew, spreadsheets became harder to manage, leading to delays in generating reports and limiting the organisation’s ability to scale operations effectively. There was a clear need for a scalable, integrated solution aligned with organisational standards to improve efficiency, enhance data accuracy, and support future growth.

Our Solution

Synapx completed several key initiatives, beginning with the implementation of Power BI to address the organisation’s need for improved data visibility and actionable insights. Previously, reporting was fragmented and heavily dependent on manual processes, which made it difficult to consolidate data and derive meaningful analytics. Power BI was introduced to centralise reporting, enable real-time dashboards, and provide interactive visualisations that support faster, data-driven decision-making. To ensure successful adoption, the team conducted workshops to identify reporting requirements, established secure data connectivity, and implemented prioritised dashboards tailored to business needs. Additionally, they developed a robust Power Apps solution by converting the AVC Calculator, significantly reducing manual intervention and improving accuracy. To enhance the delivery process, Agile Scrum methodology was adopted, featuring iterative delivery through sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives. Throughout this project, a dedicated Project Manager was assigned, along with a team of skilled Power Platform resources, including a Solution Architect, Consultants, and Analysts.

The Result

Eclipse Power optimised its project evaluation process by replacing manual, Excel-based models with a PowerApps solution integrated with SQL databases. This upgrade enabled real-time data capture and accurate profitability forecasting, including investment recovery timelines and annual profit projections. Migrating complex formulas and parameters to a SQL framework improved precision and ensured long-term scalability.
The initiative also streamlined AVC calculations, reduced manual effort, and supported Agile delivery practices.  As a result, the organisation now makes faster, data-driven decisions with greater flexibility for future adjustments.
