<br>Harvestfield Brands, a mid‑size‑sized‑range {producer|manufacturerr} of {natural|organic‑natural} snack foods, faced a {fragmented|disjointedd} data ecosystem that hampered demand forecasting and inventory management. A Microsoft Made focused on migrating the legacy ERP to Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, augmented by Copilot for data‑driven insights. The consultants built a Copilot‑enabled Power BI dashboard that ingests real‑time POS data, weather feeds, and social media sentiment. By training a custom Azure Machine Learning model on historical sales and external variables, the system delivers 72‑hour ahead forecasts with a mean absolute percentage error below 8%. Actionable insights—such as "increase SKU X in Region Y by 15% during the next two weeks" and "adjust re‑order point for SKU Z by 20%"—are surfaced directly in the Power Apps interface, allowing store managers to approve or override decisions with a single click. The result was a 12% reduction in stock‑outs, a 9% decrease in excess inventory, and a 4% lift in gross margin within the first year.

Microsoft Consultants introduced Copilot into the underwriting workflow, integrated with Azure Cognitive Services Cognitive Solutions Cognitive Tools for natural language processing understanding and sentiment analysis detection evaluation. The team created a Copilot‑powered‑driven‑based Power Automate flow that parses loan applications applications applications, automatically extracts key data points data elements data points, and cross‑checks them against internal credit scoring models‑house credit models credit algorithms and external credit bureau APIs‑party credit APIs credit data services. Copilot also generates a compliance risk report compliance report risk report summarizing potential regulatory gaps compliance gaps regulatory gaps, leveraging Azure Form Recognizer Form Extraction Form Analyzer to ingest PDF disclosures statements documents and extract structured data information content. The solution reduced underwriting cycle time from 10 days to 3 days and lowered error rates by 18%. Additionally, the consultants implemented an Azure Synapse Analytics lakehouse Synapse Analytics data lakehouse Synapse Analytics lakehouse that aggregates loan performance data performance data data enabling the Copilot assistant to recommend portfolio rebalancing strategies adjustment strategies rebalancing plans based on predictive loss modeling prediction modeling loss analytics. Westfield Financial reported a 6% increase in approved loan volume without a proportional rise in delinquency.
