Good decision

Over the years, we have collected a lot of data that we did not receive from our system quickly enough or only poorly processed. As a result, we decided to use a BI tool. Qlik Sense was chosen because of its wide range of services and affordable costs compared to other providers. As well as TD Trusted Decisions because of the close proximity and the rapid planning and implementation phase.

Successful introduction

The planning and initial implementation went very quickly. Many formulas and parameters were then painstakingly and painstakingly adjusted. The support provided by an expert from TD was the biggest advantage for us and the introduction. He understood the issue very quickly and dealt with it proactively. We were particularly pleased that the project was handled directly by him from A to Z. This meant that we always had a competent contact person at our side. The be-all and end-all of every BI project is the person who implements it!

Future prospects

We are currently learning from our statistics and regularly find new correlations. An expansion of our key figures via Qlik is already being planned.

The goal

As part of the steady growth of Peter Wagner Vertriebsgesellschaft, the volume of data to be processed has also increased in recent years. As a result, the previous enterprise resource planning (ERP) system was increasingly reaching its limits, which is why the company decided to implement business intelligence (BI) software.
In addition to process optimization within the company, the main focus was on the fast and flexible creation of statistics and data analyses. The following selection criteria were defined during the decision-making phase:

  • Simple operability
  • Look & feel of the user interface
  • Cost/benefit ratio
  • Service of the executing agency

The decision-making process

In order to be able to make an informed decision, various products were compared and the providers for implementation were evaluated. The data analysis software Qlik Sense was chosen due to its wide range of services and its favorable price, especially in comparison to other providers. The company opted for TD Trusted Decisions GmbH to implement the analysis platform, as they made an extremely competent impression during the consultation and impressed with their excellent product knowledge. The local proximity (company headquarters in Wels) was also a decisive factor, as the company was thus able to support the company quickly during on-site operations.

The implementation

At the beginning of the implementation process, expectations were discussed and clear objectives defined in a kick-off meeting with the consulting team from TD Trusted Decisions GmbH in Wels. Together, the most important use cases for the business intelligence tool were derived and prioritized. Based on the prioritization, a schedule was then drawn up for the gradual implementation of Qlik Sense.

Qlik Sense Case Study

Thanks to the support of TD Trusted Decisions GmbH, the Self Service BI was set up quickly and smoothly. The software itself fully meets the expectations set at the beginning

Qlik Sense: Experience and evaluation

Thanks to the clear and easy-to-understand presentation of the system data, many processes have become clearer for the employees of Peter Wagner Vertriebsgesellschaft m.b.H.; the Excel export lists are particularly suitable for generating further evaluations in the management and marketing departments. "We are currently learning from our statistics and regularly find new correlations," says Florian Wagner.

The intuitive and easy-to-understand operation of the software was also very well received; as the system was developed step by step together with TD Trusted Decisions, the relevant power users could already be trained during implementation.

Qlik Sense: Advantages

By implementing the Qlik Sense software, Peter Wagner Vertriebsgesellschaft was able to optimize numerous day-to-day processes - the main advantages of the business management tool can be summarized as follows:

  • End-to-end solution: complete consolidation of the previously heterogeneous system landscape
  • Change Data Capture: Data volumes of any size can be moved in real time without burdening source systems
  • Data Integration Platform: raw data is automatically converted into analysis-ready information
  • Active Intelligence: system provides valuable insights based on collaborative analysis of real-time data

What comes next?

"With Qlik-Sense, we have found the right BI solution with a very good price/performance ratio for us," concludes Florian Wagner. The largely smooth development and implementation of the new software was made possible by a trusting and cooperative partnership with TD Trusted Decisions GmbH, which will continue after completion of the project in the form of long-term support. TD Trusted Decisions GmbH supports Peter Wagner Vertriebsgesellschaft in the implementation of new expansion options for the Qlik Sense software.

In the area of marketing, Karsten Nowak, Head of Marketing at Peter Wagner Vertriebsgesellschaft, would like to be able to display charts showing the cumulative sales development of media codes and customer group selections. Implementation has already begun. There is also a lot in the works in the IT/processes area: "Various functional enhancements are planned with this product, which will give us an improved view of planning figures, an improvement in the preparation of advertising measures and in the review of logistics services. In the long term, this product will also support procurement decisions," says Lutz Zeitzmann, IT & Process Manager at Peter Wagner Vertriebsgesellschaft.
