Groupe SEB Standardizes Analysis Processes
Groupe SEB, the world leader in small domestic equipment, has selected the QlikView Business Discovery platform from QlikTech to lead the group toward the standardization of analysis processes and measurement of inventories. Currently using QlikView across six continents, Groupe SEB sells more than 200 million products per year and employs 25,000 people worldwide.
In 2009, Groupe SEB found that users are not fully satisfied with the results obtained with business intelligence (BI) solutions in place: the manipulation of reporting was complex and time-consuming.
“We had to find a new solution, more user-friendly and capable of handling large volumes of data with good performance, even for remote users,” explains Philippe Vivier, business intelligence expert for Groupe SEB.
After examining different solutions, QlikView proved the best solution in terms of performance to face three main challenges:
Today, Groupe SEB is working on 30 QlikView applications, which have access to more than 800 users. Monitoring fees subsidiaries, rate of return and service activities of the business, market share and activity warehouses are part of the group’s proposed applications. Others are also being developed for monitoring accidents, outputs cash, purchasing or stages of creation of new products.
