Paraway Pastoral’s Data Mastery: Achieving Unprecedented Efficiency and Precision with Acterys

Background & Challenges

Paraway Pastoral Company Limited (Paraway) is a significant player in the Australian agricultural industry, owning and operating extensive sheep and cattle enterprises nationwide. However, as the company expanded, it encountered substantial challenges in efficiently managing and disseminating critical data.

In 2016, Paraway embarked on a project with two primary objectives: establishing a ‘single source of truth’ for all relevant data sets and providing this information to end-users in a faster and more accessible format.

Transforming Data Challenges into Opportunities

Acterys revolutionized Paraway’s approach to data management, addressing their challenges with poor data control and slow performance feedback. The platform automated and streamlined reporting processes, enhancing operational efficiency and enabling quick, accurate report generation. This shift transformed Paraway’s data management across their diverse agricultural operations, improving decision-making and business insights.

Acterys’s seamless integration with existing systems also ensured a smooth transition and widespread adoption within the company.

Empowered Decision-Making and Operational Excellence

Acterys didn’t just streamline processes; it equipped Paraway with enhanced error tracking and improved transparency in data flows and calculations. This new clarity in data management bolstered trust among stakeholders and facilitated more informed decision-making. The shift to more frequent data projections allowed Paraway to adapt swiftly to market changes and evolving business dynamics, a critical advantage in the fast-paced agricultural sector.

One of the most significant impacts of Acterys was on data accuracy and reliability. Acterys laid the foundation for reliable financial insights by resolving discrepancies between different data management systems. This improvement was critical for Paraway, ensuring strategic decisions were based on solid, consistent data. The user-friendly interface of Acterys further enhanced the adoption process, encouraging active engagement with the system across various levels of the company.

Positive User Feedback and Performance

The successful implementation of Acterys received resounding approval from financial analysts and stakeholders within Parkway. The improved accuracy, accessibility, and real-time reporting capabilities of the system garnered positive feedback and enhanced user satisfaction.

Results

Paraway Pastoral’s collaboration with Acterys marked a significant milestone in their journey toward data excellence and operational efficiency. Acterys managed vast amounts of data and delivered timely, accurate insights to stakeholders, met with innovative solutions and a partnership that transformed their data management practices. Acterys played a pivotal role in streamlining data processes, enhancing accuracy, and empowering the organization with real-time insights.

“We assessed that Acterys had a strong breadth of experience and capability across key requirements of our project, including BI implementation, data warehousing, and planning systems. In our early interactions, Acterys appeared responsive, agile, and solution-focused. They were happy to get their hands dirty.”
