The Challenge
tesa tape, a leading manufacturer and distributor of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, was facing challenges in improving data accessibility to its Asia-Pacific subsidiaries and affiliates. The company wanted to enhance the usability of business data by integrating flexible, high-powered, multifunctional analysis tools. They also aimed to reduce the time and manpower required to develop practical, visual reports. The company had implemented a Navision ERP system, which provided new opportunities for automating information. However, the visual capabilities of the ERP system were limited, and the company was looking for a solution that could provide better visual reporting.
The Solution
tesa tape deployed QlikView to 70 employees with plans to roll out QlikView to all its affiliates in the region – 13 countries in total. With QlikView touching 3 functional areas, tesa now automates full sales and financial analysis across the region. The company selected QlikView to complement its new Navison ERP system for better visual reporting. Now the company saves countless hours in reporting and analysis and experiences operational benefits across all of its affiliates. The company’s first application using QlikView was a sales analysis application for affiliates reporting into the regional head office. Now, individual affiliates in Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore use QlikView to pull online information for monthly consolidation. The application pulls directly from the ODBC in tesa’s ERP system, eliminating the manual reporting manipulation people had to do in the past.

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.
