Client overview
MVV Netze GmbH is a leading company in the field of energy supply and infrastructure. As a subsidiary of MVV Energie AG, the company is responsible for the operation and expansion of energy networks as well as water supply in Mannheim and the surrounding area.
With around 500 employees, MVV Netze ensures the safe and sustainable supply of electricity, district heating, gas, and water. Additionally, the company develops customized solutions in the area of network services for a variety of partner companies and customers.
The challenge
MVV Netze had previously relied on manual methods for capturing important key figures. Telephone inquiries and filling out Excel spreadsheets were necessary to collect the required data. This process was not only very time-consuming and error-prone but also unreliable, leading to inefficient and slow reporting. With the introduction of ESG reporting, which has now become mandatory, additional requirements arose. The existing processes could not efficiently integrate these new data, highlighting the need for an automated solution to consistently and quickly provide reports and ESG data.
The solution
The HICO-Group implemented a customized BI solution for MVV Netze based on Microsoft Power BI, enabling the visualization and analysis of ESG data. To integrate data from various sources, Talend was used for data consolidation, while TRUECHART was utilized as an extension to
Power BI to provide interactive dashboards with enhanced commenting and annotation functions. The solution enabled the automation of reporting, allowing MVV Netze to accurately and consistently report their ESG data as well as business metrics.
Additionally, the solution was designed to meet the EMAS requirements for sustainable environmental management. This led to a significant reduction in manual effort and enabled faster, more informed decision-making.
"In any case, the HICO-Group continues to accompany us on the journey, we are perfectly supported, and we can only reccomend them."
