Amcor partnered with us to modernize its manufacturing operations by implementing Dynamics 365 Business Central Manufacturing, Power Apps, Power BI, and an integrated carbon accounting solution across its plant network. The solution unified production planning, shop-floor data capture, inventory, finance, and sustainability reporting into a single connected platform. Power Apps enables operators to capture production activity, downtime, quality checks, and material consumption directly from the shop floor, while Power BI delivers real-time insights into production performance, yield, costs, and operational efficiency. Integrated carbon accounting links emissions and carbon credits directly to production activities, providing accurate ESG reporting and greater visibility into sustainability performance.

Modern packaging manufacturers must balance production efficiency, material utilization, cost control, and environmental sustainability to remain competitive. By connecting manufacturing, finance, shop-floor operations, and ESG reporting within Dynamics 365, Amcor established a single source of truth that improves operational visibility, strengthens production planning, and supports informed decision-making. Real-time insights into yield, downtime, scrap, energy consumption, and carbon emissions enable plant leaders to optimize performance while reducing waste and improving resource utilization. The unified platform also simplifies regulatory reporting and helps the business achieve its sustainability objectives through accurate, audit-ready carbon tracking.

A global packaging manufacturer delivering innovative flexible and rigid packaging solutions for consumer, healthcare, and industrial markets.

The Challenge

  • Production reporting was manual, retrospective, and often logged on paper or local spreadsheets.
  • Operations leaders lacked live OEE, yield, scrap, and downtime visibility.
  • Material consumption, scrap, and labour were not tied cleanly to production orders.
  • Carbon footprint and credit tracking were managed separately from production in spreadsheets.

Our Solution

Business Central Manufacturing and Shop-Floor Capture

  • Business Central Manufacturing became the backbone for BOMs, routings, production orders, capacity planning, and MRP.
  • Power Apps captures production logging, downtime, reason codes, scrap, and quality checks at the machine.
  • Material consumption, scrap, and output post against production orders for cleaner cost-per-run visibility.

Power BI, Carbon Accounting, and Credits

  • Power BI dashboards show OEE, yield, scrap, throughput, downtime, and cost by line, shift, and plant.
  • Energy, material, and scrap data feed carbon accounting at production-order and product level.
  • A carbon-credit ledger tracks purchases and retirements with an audit-ready trail.

The Impact

Amcor connected manufacturing, shop-floor capture, finance, and carbon tracking into one live operating platform.

$0K+

Production Efficiency Gains

Live OEE, yield, and downtime visibility improved operational performance across manufacturing lines.

$0K+

Manufacturing Productivity

Real time production insights enabled faster decision making and higher plant utilization.

24/7

Production Visibility

Live shop floor reporting provides continuous visibility into production, quality, and equipment performance.


We can finally see the line and its carbon footprint in the same view, on the same day. Real-time insights allow us to identify opportunities for improvement, reduce emissions, and build a more efficient and sustainable operation.
