Context & Challenge

Grupo Calidra, a leading Mexican enterprise with over a century of history in the lime industry across the Americas, sought to modernize its data architecture alongside its cloud migration to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. Their previous reporting environment faced data fragmentation across separated repositories, access restrictions, and latency that no longer matched business agility requirements.

The Solution

Calidra, Microsoft, and 54Cuatro collaborated to overhaul the analytical architecture. A real-time monitoring pilot was initially executed to track truck dwell times, entries, and exits at manufacturing plants. The architecture then evolved into a consolidated data platform built on Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Data Lake, natively integrated into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance.

Impact & Results

Consolidating data ingestion into two primary cloud services drastically reduced architectural complexity and resulted in a 90% reduction in data processing costs. Information refresh rates improved from daily batches to every 30 minutes. The new platform seamlessly supports over 800 active users and establishes the foundational pillar for Calidra's Corporate Data Office.
