挑战
Aggregate Industries, a leading supplier and manufacturer of heavy building materials in the UK, was facing the challenge of a competitive market and the need to improve business performance and reduce costs. The company realized that major improvements to their existing Cognos business intelligence (BI) solution would benefit the entire organization. They needed faster access to 'big data' about operational efficiency and business performance. The company was also looking to change the culture of the company to see data as an asset and wanted to provide users with a single version of the truth.
关于客户
Aggregate Industries is among the leading suppliers and manufacturers in the United Kingdom (UK) of heavy building materials—including crushed rock, asphalt, and ready-mix concrete—to the construction industry. It is involved in highways, housing, and the commercial sectors. A member of Switzerland-based global building materials company Holcim Group, Aggregate Industries is based in Leicestershire and has a turnover of £1.2 billion (US$1.8 billion). It supplies the rail, education, aviation, and highways sectors. It was the sole aggregates supplier to the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics Games.
解决方案
Aggregate Industries decided to replace their existing Cognos BI solution with QlikView. Working closely with QlikView Elite Solution Provider, Data Technology, Aggregate Industries trialled the solution with a financial performance application and is now extending the capability of QlikView applications across the business. This includes different operations, divisions, and commercial teams, but also various levels of management as well as applications for procurement, haulage, and security. The entire implementation cost £250,000, but saved the expenditure previously used to maintain Cognos. The company also rolled out QlikView to some of its senior executives on their laptops, smartphones, and tablet devices which has increased productivity and the efficiency of operations.
运营影响
  • QlikView gave Aggregate Industries new insights into its customer base, some of which were unexpected.
  • The company can now combine customer insight information in QlikView based not just on volume, margin, or customers, but also on invoice activity.
  • QlikView has been applied widely throughout the organisation for analysis and reporting.
数量效益
