About The Customer
Pikolinos Intercontinental is one of the leaders in the Spanish footwear manufacturing industry. It is part of Grupo Pikolinos, a group of footwear and accessories companies including Martinelli, Pikostore, Pies Cuadrados, and Vabene. At present, it exports 80 per cent of its products abroad, principally to the U.S., France, Germany, Italy, and Russia. Set up in 1984, Pikolinos’s guiding principle has always been to focus on design, quality and originality to produce unique shoes. Since its inception, the company’s philosophy has been to combine this concept with use of the latest technology, providing customers with top quality footwear. Pikolinos is based in the town of Elche in Alicante and has around 100 employees. In 2009 it posted profits of €3 million with turnover of €60 million.
The Challenge
Pikolinos Intercontinental, a leader in the Spanish footwear manufacturing industry, needed a business intelligence (BI) tool to help managers make decisions based on information shown in scorecards which, in turn, brought together information from different systems. The company quickly opted for QlikView because it met all its requirements. Amongst the criteria that prompted the company to choose QlikView, Ortiz points to “its fast implementation time compared with other BI tools and its ease of use, delivered through intuitive, visual display of data.”
The Solution
QlikView deployment at Pikolinos has speeded up decision making in all areas and provided greater control of key indicators. These include among others sales, warehouse movements, performance targets, materials required, and invoicing. The application was deployed with Windows Client and consolidates SQL Server, Excel, and Access databases, and different flat files. Twenty-five users are working with QlikView, including senior managers and area managers, handling a total of 140GB of entries.
Operational Impact
  • Cost saving from the information shown in the scorecards
  • Faster decision making
  • Visual and intuitive to use
  • Rapid implementation time
