The Challenge
MarktSelect, a leading database-marketing specialist in the Dutch business-to-business market, was facing several challenges. They needed to provide their customers with 'readable' up-to-date management information. They also needed to measure the results and enhance the effectiveness of their marketing and sales efforts. Another challenge was to make links between data from very diverse databases. During a visit to a large Direct Marketing exhibition in San Francisco, they noticed that needs were changing worldwide. Analysis and segmentation were becoming hot topics. They needed a flexible Business Intelligence (BI) analysis tool that would enable their customers to raise the effectiveness of their marketing and sales departments.
The Solution
MarktSelect decided to implement QlikView, an analysis software from QlikTech. The application was up and running within three weeks. The most important aspect of the implementation was the visualization of information. QlikView stood out from the rest because it can make connections, unlike any other, between data from very diverse databases – from MarktSelect's own market-wide business database to the databases of their customers. QlikView does more than just generate clear information; it also switches seamlessly between the different databases that are in use. It’s easy to determine penetration levels and combine them with sales data and profit figures. QlikView constantly stimulates the development of new analyses, enabling the customer to make even better and faster decisions.

Retail Uses RFID to Enable Cold Chain Monitoring
Like most grocery retailers, Hy-Vee is faced with the challenge of providing the highest quality products to its shoppers. Shoppers want the longest possible shelf life from perishable products and expect a consistent product experience each time they shop. Controlling the quality of products sold leads to shopper loyalty, which is of paramount importance to the success of Hy-Vee. Before products arrive in stores, Hy-Vee's distribution centers (DCs) handle items including dairy products, fresh meats, seafood, deli items, produce and frozen goods, all of which have different temperature needs and sensitivities. During transit from suppliers to DCs, Hy-Vee has limited visibility and temperature management abilities due to large amount of supplier managed transportation. For instance, during a week-long transit, a supplier's carrier equipment may malfunction, causing an item to thaw and then refreeze once repairs are made. Hy-Vee sought help from TempTRIP, an RFID solution provider that focuses on shipping, storage, receiving, and temperature control. TempTRIP's EPC RFID tags use Impinj chips to monitor and report temperature readings throughout the shipping and receiving process. The tags can also be re-configured and re-used, a unique feature within the current market of temperature monitoring devices.
