Kanerika advises NorthGate on data analytics transformation

Kanerika, an Austin-based IT consulting firm, recently helped NorthGate, a Flint, MI-based supply chain services and packaging company, implement a data management and analytics framework.

Founded in 1984, NorthGate offers order fulfillment processing and reverse logistics services, as well as an array of third-party warehouse and distribution solutions. The firm has over 240 employees and works with companies in the upper Midwest.

Kanerika was brought in to help NorthGate unify its data infrastructure, which was fragmented across a number of systems, including MS Dynamics ERP, SQL Server, and Office 365.

Kanerika streamlined data sources into a single Microsoft Power BI platform, providing NorthGate with real-time dashboards to quickly make operational adjustments and drive better-informed decision making.

“Our experience with the Kanerika team exceeded our expectations at every turn. Their responsiveness and attention to detail were unparalleled, ensuring a seamless workflow significantly improving our operational capabilities,” said Nicole Wellman, operations & IT executive at NorthGate.

The engagement has resulted in a 25% increase to worker productivity, a 14% improvement in cost control, and 15% decrease in order delays.

“This collaboration showcases our expertise as industry leaders and a standout Microsoft partner singularly focused on delivering excellence,” said Bhupendra Chopra, chief revenue officer at Kanerika.

Founded in 2015, Kanerika provides services in data integration, data analytics, process automation, generative AI, data engineering, cloud management, and product development. The firm’s technology partners include Microsoft, AWS, and Informatica.

Kanerika works with clients in healthcare, financial services, telecom, manufacturing, logistics, and consumer and retail. The firm has more than 220 employees across offices in Austin, TX and India.
