/ About the client
The client provides the widest selection of micro and small drive systems accessible anywhere. This range of technologies lets them create compact, high-precision, dependable drive systems, used primarily in manufacturing robots and automation, aircraft, optical systems, and medical and scientific research labs.
Expert advice from Brainvire helped the client build worksheet-based reporting successfully. Having studied the sheets, the team adapted the resulting reports for Qlik Sense, a powerful and intuitive data visualization and discovery tool, so anyone in the company can build visualizations and explore data with remote access, real-time retrieval, and data security.
/ The approach
Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.
Anywhere, any time
Exporting data took a significant amount of time, so the team executed queries against the SAP databases and recreated the same Excel reports in Qlik Sense, so users view the data from anywhere at any time.
Reports that read easily
The reports were complicated to decipher, so Qlik Sense Desktop enabled data visualizations, interactive dashboards, and charts that bring the information to life.
Many feeds, one output
Data came from various sources, so a data load script pulls it together and makes the final output in Qlik Sense feasible.
Protected and compliant
Large volumes of data required cautious handling, so a variety of security features shield sensitive data and keep the client compliant with protection and regulatory requirements.
