QlikView | Industry Data Sheet | Retail & Wholesale Distribution

Industry challengesWhile the Web gave retailers additional sales and service channels, it also em-powered customers with easier product and price comparisons, and sharing online reviews of in-store and online shopping experiences. More informed shoppers increase competitive pressures. Goals to attract customers, capture their spend and earn their loyalty now require:

• Timelycustomerandbusinessintelligence

• Cross-functionalvisibilityintomoreagile business processes

• Improvedcapabilitiesformarginoptimization and cost controls

• Customer-focuseddecisionmakingthroughout retail and wholesale value chains

InhibitorsThe industry’s technology systems ad-dress functional business needs versus cross-functional process needs. Systems are difficult and costly to integrate and can be major inhibitors to running a more agile, customer-focused business. Companies with substantial invest-ments in proprietary legacy systems and traditional business intelligence applica-tions still lack business agility. Infor-mation used for decision making may be “recent” but not current, and the applications are difficult and expensive to maintain – impairing agility while adding to operational costs.

QlikView solutionWithQlikViewin-memoryanalysis,retailers and wholesalers can integrate data in real time from across business functions and remove inhibitors to customer-centric business agility.

QlikView for Retail and Wholesale Distribution Enabling cross-functional intelligence for customer-centric business agility

Under constant competitive pressure, retailers and wholesalers must continu-ally strive for higher levels of innovation and business agility. Industry shifts are clearly toward more sophisticated technology to both capture spend of increasingly savvy consumers and further optimize operational efficiencies. Aligning business processes with consumer behaviors is key, but data cap-tured in function-specific systems cannot be analyzed or shared easily. With QlikView in-memory analysis, retailers and wholesalers quickly and affordably leverage real-time customer and business process intelligence to drive and synchronize customer-centric merchandising, operations and supply chains.
