The challenge
Desired Performence
The VOIT Automotive Group was already using an ERP system that had been in place since 2005 to manage their production processes and controlling. The system was particularly designed for medium-sized companies in the automotive supplier industry and enabled functions such as project management, workflow management, and advanced planning. However, the existing SQL databases that accessed the ERP system increasingly reached their limits. The manual SQL queries were time-consuming and inefficient. The lack of automation and slow data processing were identified as painful pain points that significantly impacted the efficiency and speed of work processes.
The solution
Jörg Irsch, IT Manager
The HICO-Group supported VOIT Automotive in implementing a Qlik Sense solution that eliminated manual SQL database batch processes and accelerated data processing through automation. Qlik Sense enabled the combination of various data sources and their automatic updating,
significantly simplifying the previous processes. Users could create interactive analysis apps via drag and drop, allowing for quick and detailed evaluations. The solution optimized data processing at VOIT and significantly reduced the processing time for inquiries.
Particularly noteworthy was the high speed of data availability, which made it possible to identify key figures and important data in real-time. Overall, the Qlik Sense solution provided powerful visualization and improved data quality and availability.
