关于客户
Vax is a best-selling floorcare brand in the United Kingdom (UK). Since 1999, it has been part of the floorcare division of Hong Kong-based TTi, a global leader in products for the home improvement and construction industries. TTi also manufactures and markets floorcare appliances in the United States (US) and Europe respectively. Vax— based in the West Midlands— specialises in vacuum, steam cleaners, and carpet washers that prolong the life of carpets. The company employs 350 people and is recognised as a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality floorcare products.
挑战
Vax, a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality floorcare products, was facing challenges in producing sales and call centre performance analysis, monitoring supply chain freight movements, and delivering business intelligence (BI) in a visual context for users. The company lacked any specific software for business discovery and was making use of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The need for a more efficient and effective solution led to the acquisition of the QlikView business discovery platform in 2006. The initial goal was to track and drive sales and margin performance while helping to control expenses and overall operating costs.
解决方案
Vax deployed QlikView to around 100 users and to every Vax department as its principal source of business discovery analysis. The company built links into QlikView with its business partners and created links to QlikView from its freight forwarders. This innovative Vax specialised link to QlikView is helping the company monitor key performance indicators for product delivery from Asia without using manual processes. Vax is currently planning to upgrade QlikView to take advantage of mobile usage. The way it has set up its existing QlikView platform already allows users access via its internal systems through iPad, iPhone, and Android devices, as well as other mobile devices.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

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.
