The Challenge
Deroma, a leading global manufacturer of industrial terra cotta products, was facing challenges in tracking production across the nine companies that make up the Deroma Group. The company needed a solution that could streamline management data and use it constructively in an easy-to-use format. The company's products are distributed by six marketing subsidiaries in Europe, the United States, and China and can be found in all major DIY chains and over 8,000 Garden Centers around the world. With over 2,000 employees and €100 million in revenue, the company needed a robust solution to manage its complex operations.
The Solution
Deroma deployed QlikView to 40 users across four functions in Italy. These functions included Sales Analysis, Operational Analysis, Supply Chain Analysis, and Financial Analysis. The Sales Analysis involved the analysis of sales information across orders, shipments, products, and margins. The Operational Analysis allowed the company to analyze production information across quantity, quality, waste and rejects, and processing time. The Supply Chain Analysis enabled the company to monitor warehouse inventory levels and activity. The Financial Analysis managed the historic data analysis process and generation of tiered budgets. The implementation of QlikView was rapid, taking less than a month, and leveraged QlikView Server.

Case Study
Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.
Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
