The challenge was to improve sales profitability through transparency of information. IT were overwhelmed with 20 sales report requests each week that were manually prepared and provided no interaction with the data. Avnet couldn’t easily aggregate transactional data from their Pronto ERP to understand line level profitability and stock usage. Needing greater insight into customer, sales, channel, inventory, supplier and delivery performance.
After a market review, Avnet chose Inside Info with QlikView to deliver a consolidated dashboard to understand profitability, sales, inventory, supply chain and channel performance. QlikView ensures key revenue & gross margin targets are achieved for individual suppliers, their products and by sales and brand teams. While management use QlikView to keep on top of the numbers, for business forecasting & future strategy setting.
