About The Customer
Bianchi - Cycleurope is a leading entity in the cycling sector for more than 120 years. Since May 1997, FIV Edoardo Bianchi has been part of Cycleurope AB, a Swedish company in the Grimaldi group. The company is headquartered in Treviglio (BG), Italy. It has achieved €40 million in revenue with 80 employees. The company operates in the Consumer Products industry.
The Challenge
Bianchi - Cycleurope was in need of a tool that could generate reports integrating the entire group to ensure consistency in data and presentation across groups. The company wanted to provide management with a tool capable of improving the decision-making process. They were also looking to resolve criticalities in certain corporate sectors such as sales, procurement, and warehousing.
The Solution
Bianchi - Cycleurope deployed QlikView to approximately 75 users across 3 functions in Italy. The functions include Executive Analysis, Sales Analysis, and Supply Chain Analysis. The Executive Analysis function conducts monthly monitoring of the trends in the various companies. The Sales Analysis function monitors the relationship between budget, sales, and profit margin and assesses anomalies in gifts and promotional activities impacting sales and margin. The Supply Chain Analysis function analyzes the supplier performance against budget and warehouse inventory levels and turns. The average project development time was just 1 week. The company leveraged QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher to aggregate data from multiple databases.

With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
