Unlock Unified Data and AI with Microsoft Fabric
A Fast Track to Scalable Data Management and Advanced Analytics

The Challenge: Unifying Data Silos for AI-Driven Insights

Organizations today struggle with fragmented data platforms, leading to inefficiencies, limited AI adoption, and higher operational costs. Data is often spread across multiple systems, making it challenging to ensure consistency, governance, and real-time accessibility. Without a unified approach, businesses face obstacles in harnessing AI and machine learning to drive innovation and decision-making.

This is where Microsoft Fabric, combined with Apgar’s expertise, empowers organizations to integrate, manage, and analyze data across cloud and on-premises environments, accelerating AI and advanced analytics capabilities.

Real-World Success: The Vegafruits Case Study

Optimizing Harvesting with Microsoft Fabric

Apgar supported Vegafruits, a leading agricultural cooperative, in implementing Microsoft Fabric as a unified data platform to optimize harvesting operations.

The Challenge: Vegafruits relied on manual inspections and historical data to determine the best harvest time, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistent scheduling. They needed a real-time, AI-driven solution to improve prediction accuracy and optimize resource planning.

The Solution: Apgar deployed Microsoft Fabric, integrating:

  • Azure Machine Learning for predictive harvest analytics based on IoT weather and soil sensors.
  • Synapse Analytics to process large-scale agricultural data.
  • OneLake & Data Factory to consolidate structured and unstructured data sources.
  • Purview for data lineage tracking, compliance, and metadata management.

The Impact:

  • Improved Harvest Accuracy – AI-enabled predictions optimized scheduling and reduced waste.
  • Optimized Resource Use – Automation eliminated guesswork, enabling better labor and logistics planning.
  • Accelerated Insights – Fabric’s integrated environment reduced time-to-insight, enhancing operational efficiency.

Apgar’s expertise in data governance, AI-driven analytics, and Microsoft Fabric enabled Vegafruits to scale real-time decision-making and drive measurable business value.
