Trust International provides digital lifestyle accessories to a worldwide clientele. They are constantly developing smart, user-friendly products. A few years ago, the company decided to upgrade its existing Dynamics ERP solution. Their BI solution at the time was deeply intertwined with the ERP solution.

To get started quickly, 9A Smart Insights was chosen. This easily bridged the gap between Dynamics ERP and Power BI - 75% of the solution worked out-of-the-box. The choice of 9A Smart Insights also fit well with Trust's ‘Build vs. Buy’ strategy. The company does what it's good at and buys what someone else does better.

The biggest advantage of the 9A Smart Insights’ solution is that there is now one single truth to work with. From within the solution Trust gains insights into the different markets in which it is active. 9A Smart Insights is used daily to see how the teams around the world are doing and where there is room for improvement.
