The Challenge
Berlin Recycling, a subsidiary of BSR Berliner Stadtreinigungsbetriebe, was facing several challenges in its operations. The parent company's SAP system was not providing the necessary reports for corporate management. The company needed a solution that could automate the preparation of its own analyses and reports. With the vast amount of data that the company was dealing with, it was crucial to have a system that could process and analyze this data efficiently. Furthermore, the company was looking for a way to manage and optimize its processes intelligently.
About The Customer
Berlin Recycling is a 100 per cent-owned subsidiary of BSR Berliner Stadtreinigungsbetriebe, which operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically in the mill products sub-industry. The company is involved in the recycling of various materials, including paper, card, glass, and industrial waste. In addition to recycling, Berlin Recycling also manages container services, data carrier disposal, and waste management. The company has a workforce of 300 employees and operates a fleet of 100 vehicles. Berlin Recycling serves 40,000 private and trade clients.
The Solution
Berlin Recycling adopted QlikView for analyses in sales, marketing, and management. The solution was used in operations management to track the location and disposal cycle of containers of various sizes. In sales, QlikView helped identify areas of most intensive operation, client structure, and the city areas with the most clients. The management cockpit used QlikView to develop disposal optimization concepts based on the analysis of weighbridge tickets. This led to improved disposal cycles and findings on emptying rounds and waste weights. Additionally, maps of Berlin from Google Maps were stored in QlikView to easily visualize areas of intense operation and profitable districts.
