The Challenge
Hella Handel Austria, a leading worldwide partner of the automotive industry, was facing challenges with its data management. The company generates vast quantities of new data every day, with 45,000 active items, 900 active customers, and approximately 20,000 orders per month. To evaluate this data, the company needed a powerful analysis tool that would allow ad-hoc analyses of its extensive data inventory while conserving employee resources. Previously, only a few specially-trained Hella experts had suitable programming skills to evaluate the business data stored in the DB2 and Oracle databases. Several employees were busy almost full-time programming queries and manually processing the results in Excel or Access. The multitude of different tools and the high percentage of manual work meant that errors were inevitable.
The Solution
Hella Handel Austria deployed QlikView to 30 users across a number of functional areas and at all levels of the organization within just 1 week. With QlikView, Hella Handel now analyzes key metrics across sales orders, pricing management, margin control, merchandising, category management, inventory stock, and finance. With QlikView Connector, Hella Handel is able to free the invaluable data locked in its SAP ERP system and Lawson (M3). Through QlikView Server and Publisher, Hella Handel easily manages the performance and visibility across the large data volume. QlikView was implemented quickly and without complications within a 1-week period. The centralized solution was installed and all of the future user groups were ‘trained’. Today, Hella Handel Austria is using QlikView in a wide range of departments and across all management levels – from administration and office functions to the logistics manager, controller, product manager, marketing manager, and sales office and field services.
