About The Customer
Roland Scandinavia A/S is the leading distributor in the Nordic countries of musical instruments and large-format color printers. The company has an annual turnover of DKK 266 million and employs 56 people. The head office of Roland is located in Copenhagen, and the company has offices in Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Roland Scandinavia was established in 1981 and has grown rapidly since its inception. Today, it is the leading distributor in the Nordic countries of electronic musical instruments and large-format printers. The company has 30-35,000 part numbers and 100,000 transactions a year.
The Challenge
Roland Scandinavia A/S, a leading distributor of musical instruments and large-format color printers in the Nordic countries, was struggling with managing a rapidly increasing volume of data from procurement, storage, and sales. The company had invested in the ERP system Scala to help create the needed overview, but it soon became obvious that it was difficult to draw out useful data. The manual reports in different systems were not providing the necessary insights and the company was in need of a solution that could provide a comprehensive overview of the company data.
The Solution
Roland was recommended QlikView as a solution to their problem. QlikTech had developed a ready-made QlikView Template for Scala and after the first presentation of the system, it only took a few hours before the first graphical representation of the company data was ready. The QlikView software takes up so little space that it fits on a laptop, providing an instant and total overview of the company data. Today, around 15 employees at Roland use QlikView on a daily basis. It is the preferred tool of the Sales Managers, but the users vary from Directors to Sales Assistants.
Operational Impact
  • QlikView provides on-the-spot reporting, allowing for quick access to company data and easy presentation.
  • The software is simple and easy to use in procurement, stock, and sales department.
  • QlikView is used at all levels of the organization, both in sales, procurement, and finance.
  • Stocks are optimized with help from QlikView.
