Unifying systems, unlocking global insight
Learn how we helped Rotork, a global industrial manufacturer, streamline operations across more than 13 countries by consolidating reporting into a single view.
Rotork, a British manufacturer of industrial flow equipment, used the 5Y Business Transformation Platform to modernise and unify its data landscape. With different ERP systems, the company struggled to achieve consistent visibility across operations. But, as part of a multi-year rollout of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations), 5Y integrated both legacy and new systems into a unified reporting layer, giving leaders real-time visibility into financial and operational performance across all global sites.
The Challenge
How do you align international operations when your data is fragmented? That was the challenge facing a global industrial manufacturer operating in more than 13 countries.
While rolling out Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O), they were still working with a patchwork of legacy ERP systems across regions — creating significant barriers to oversight, consistency and efficiency.
Key issues included:
- Fragmented reporting
- Inconsistent data structures
- Difficulty aligning local operations with enterprise-wide goals
Without a unified reporting layer, leadership lacked a single, trusted view of business performance — making it harder to monitor progress, prioritise investments and drive accountability across teams.
The business needed a scalable, cloud-based reporting solution that could integrate legacy and modern systems and provide real-time insights throughout the ERP migration and beyond.

The Solution
We deployed the 5Y Business Transformation Platform to unify reporting and support the rollout of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O).
The Platform’s Engineering Suite enabled fast, secure integration of multiple ERP systems using automated data architecture, shared data models and pre-built pipelines. This made it possible to consolidate operational and financial reporting into a single, scalable framework.
We implemented the platform to:
- Seamlessly integrate legacy ERPs with D365 F&O
- Standardise reporting structures
- Deliver scalable infrastructure
- Enable real-time analytics
Over 60 locations gained timely access to consistent performance insights through a unified reporting layer — eliminating fragmented processes and manual data reconciliation.

The Results
With 5Y, Rotork benefits from unified reporting and real-time operational oversight across 13 countries. By consolidating fragmented ERP environments into a single platform, the business has achieved consistent access to key performance metrics — improving visibility for executive and regional teams, accelerating decision-making, and aligning global business units.
With a modern, future-proof architecture in place, the organisation is now positioned to scale with confidence.
