About The Customer
Feed The Children is one of the world's largest, private, international relief organizations. The organization delivers food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to people who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty or natural disaster. The organization annually distributes more than 111 million pounds of food and other essentials to children and their families in the US and internationally, supplementing more than 760,000 meals each day. During its 30-year history, Feed The Children has worked in 119 countries around the globe. In addition to monetary donations, Feed The Children accepts “gift in kind” donations from an international network of corporations – everything from food and clothing to building materials.
The Challenge
Feed The Children, an international, nonprofit relief organization, was already using QlikView for its commodities tracking system. However, the system was not being used to its fullest potential. The organization was facing challenges in improving efficiency in gaining access to system data, gaining visibility into donor behavior, and increasing efficiencies in supply chain. The organization annually distributes more than 111 million pounds of food and other essentials to children and their families in the US and internationally, supplementing more than 760,000 meals each day. With such large volumes of goods moving through its six warehouses in the US, the non-profit relies on an in-house commodity tracking system to manage its supply chain from donors to recipients.
The Solution
Feed The Children deployed QlikView to 30 users to provide visibility into legacy donor management and supply chain applications. With QlikView, Feed The Children now analyzes more than 70 million records in a fraction of the time it took before, and has eliminated one day’s worth of batch processing time. With QlikView for iPhone, executives gain visibility into dashboards from their mobile phone from anywhere and in real-time. The system uses QlikView to gain visibility into hundreds of thousands of items. Users can track inventory levels and availability – from individual SKUs to broad categories of items – in order to ascertain readiness to respond to a request for aid at any time. The easy to use dashboards designed with QlikView allow users to drill down into graphs and charts for a true understanding of the meaning behind the data.
Operational Impact
  • Improved tracking of inventory levels and availability down to SKU level
  • Implemented analytics for donor management and fund raising programs
