Vehicle Routing Problem: Why AI Outperforms Traditional Methods

November 1, 2026

TL;DR In the vehicle routing problem, AI beats traditional methods at predicting travel times and re-planning a changing day, while classical optimization still builds better routes. Pick an AI-led hybrid for large, dynamic, data-rich fleets, but stay with a classical solver for small, stable fleets with thin history. Traditional solvers still do the route building: exact methods prove optimality on

Time Intelligence in DAX: Custom Calendars, MTD, WTD and YTD in Power BI

November 1, 2026

TL;DR For time intelligence in DAX, pick classic functions for a normal calendar year and calendar-based functions for retail week years. Classic functions also suit a fiscal year with a fixed end date, such as June 30. Classic functions need a date table with one row per day and no gaps, and a complete table is safest for calendar-based ones

Microsoft Fabric readiness assessment case study: how Forest River, a large North American manufacturer of recreational vehicles, cargo trailers, commercial vehicles, buses and pontoon boats, de-risked its ERP migration from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. The Fabric solution had been built by a third-party integrator and had never had an independent architecture review. Data pipelines, security, governance and Power BI integrations all sat on the critical path to go-live, unvalidated. Any gap found after cutover would mean reporting problems and delays at the worst possible time. This case study shows how a six-week Kanerika assessment turned an open readiness question into an evidence-based go-live decision. What Kanerika did: • Ran a six-week, read-only architecture review of the Fabric workspace, the 124-table Dataverse mirror, pipelines, notebooks and security settings, logging evidence for every finding • Changed nothing in production or non-production systems during the review • Scored the platform on a RAG scorecard across five lenses and 18 dimensions • Extended the review to related Power BI assets and defined DevOps, security and governance target states • Documented key gaps in a Risk and Gap Register with owners, effort and sequence, and separated pre-cutover actions from longer-term maturity work • Kept working components in place: the metadata-driven copy pattern, Key Vault usage and capacity scaling What the assessment delivered: • About 136 findings documented before go-live • About 30 days of estimated pre-cutover remediation, roughly three person-weeks of internal effort • A conditional go-live recommendation leadership could defend with evidence, six weeks after the review started With a clear view of its platform risks, Forest River could make an informed go-live decision and sequence the improvements needed for a reliable ERP transition.

Allen Distribution, a Pennsylvania-based logistics and supply chain company running warehousing, transportation and distribution services across multiple US facilities, had its warehouse management system and HR data spread across different on-premises SQL Server systems. Teams could not get a complete view of performance, reporting meant hours of manual data handling, and with no single reliable source, data quality issues made it hard to trust the numbers. This case study shows how Kanerika built a connected reporting foundation on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, and what changed for the teams using it. What Kanerika delivered: - Brought data from multiple operational systems into a central Microsoft Fabric lakehouse, one shared and reliable foundation for analytics - Built Power BI dashboards with automated refreshes, giving teams faster access to inventory, workforce and operational metrics and cutting manual reporting effort - Addressed missing values to improve data reliability - Implemented row-level security so each user sees only the data relevant to their role Results for Allen Distribution: - 42% improvement in decision-making precision - 54% improvement in data accuracy - 61% increase in data-driven decisions - 60% gain in operational efficiency Teams now spend less time preparing and validating reports and more time using the data, on a reporting foundation that can scale with the company's growing data needs.

Business ontology on Microsoft Fabric: a global pharmaceutical enterprise had the data but not the confidence, because the same KPI meant different things across dashboards, teams and business units. This case study shows how Kanerika replaced dashboard-level logic with one governed business ontology on Microsoft Fabric, cutting investigation and reconciliation time by 70% and giving reports and Copilot the same certified KPI logic. The challenge: - KPI definitions and business rules embedded inside individual Power BI dashboards, so the same metric produced different results depending on the report - Cross-domain questions took days of manual reconciliation as teams traced logic across reports and systems - AI and Copilot experiences could not give reliable answers because there was no governed business layer behind them What Kanerika built: - Centralized 85+ KPI definitions and business rules into a governed ontology, so every report and query uses the same logic - Modeled 40+ entities and relationships across key business domains for faster, more connected cross-functional analysis - Linked the ontology to governed data in OneLake, reducing dependency on dashboard-level logic and manual reconciliation - Extended the same semantic layer to Fabric AI and Copilot for trusted conversational analytics The result: a single governed analytics layer, a 70% reduction in investigation and reconciliation time, and 100% consistent KPI logic available to both reporting and Copilot-driven analytics. If your teams spend more time reconciling metrics than acting on insights, it may be time to govern your KPIs at the business layer.

Microsoft Fabric case study: a global manufacturer of thermal management and heat transfer solutions ran its order journey across three disconnected SAP systems, so quotes, approvals and deliveries never met in one reliable record. Kanerika built an order lead time analytics platform on Microsoft Fabric that connects the full lead-to-delivery journey, cut reporting effort by 60% and gave the business 50+ governed KPIs in one self-updating Power BI view. The challenge: - Three disconnected SAP systems, with no single record across quotes, approvals and deliveries - Lead time tracked manually across six stages, making it hard to see where orders slowed down or got stuck - Data pulled and reconciled every cycle, delaying reporting and producing mismatched numbers across teams What Kanerika built: - A governed Microsoft Fabric pipeline bringing data from all three SAP systems into one structured foundation - A dedicated bridge connecting opportunities, quotes and orders, so the business can follow one continuous lead-to-delivery journey - A self-updating Power BI dashboard replacing manual data pulls, with 50+ standardized KPIs and one consistent view of performance The impact: - Reporting effort down 60% - 35+ source tables connected across the order life cycle - 50+ governed KPIs for consistent order performance tracking - The full order journey visible from lead to delivery for the first time, with delays spotted earlier and decisions made from one trusted view Case study: https://kanerika.com/case-studies/restoring-decision-making-visibility-across-the-full-order-lifecycle/ Microsoft Fabric services: https://kanerika.com/technology/microsoft-fabric/ Data and AI for manufacturing: https://kanerika.com/industries/manufacturing/ Want the same visibility across your order life cycle?

Invoice processing automation case study: a global travel management company was handling thousands of invoices a month across hotels, transfers and car rentals with manual checks, fragmented tracking and reconciliation steps never built for that volume. Kanerika built an intelligent invoice automation framework that cut manual invoice processing by 80%, gave the accounts payable team 100% invoice lifecycle traceability, and quadrupled handling capacity without adding cost. The challenge: - High invoice volumes across regions overwhelming manual processing and raising the risk of errors - Manual reconciliation with the mid-office system, delaying approvals and stretching payment cycles - Fragmented document management with limited visibility into invoice status and audit readiness What Kanerika built: - Automated invoice intake straight from vendor emails into a centralized system - OCR and AI-based extraction to capture key invoice details with less manual intervention - Validation of invoice data against business rules before routing to downstream financial systems, with proper audit trails The results: - 80% reduction in manual invoice processing - 100% invoice lifecycle traceability - 4x increase in invoice handling capacity with no added cost By automating invoice processing end to end, the company improved speed, strengthened control and scaled AP operations without increasing headcount or spend. The framework runs on FLIP, Kanerika's intelligent workflow automation platform, using OCR and LLM-based extraction.
