The Foodware 365 and Business Central data problem
Aptean Foodware 365 runs the business, but getting the right information out of it still takes too much manual work.
Aptean Foodware 365 contains valuable business data, but getting it out for reporting, dashboards and AI often means combining Business Central APIs, Foodware 365 endpoints and MES data.
API reporting is complex

Different KPI definitions
Teams use different logic for margin, yield, stock or customer performance.
Group-wide reporting is hard
Group-level reporting across companies, sites or administrations is hard to manage directly in Aptean Foodware 365.
Limited self-service reporting
Business users wait on IT or key users for new reports, data checks or ad hoc questions.
