Challenge	Brdr. Dahl A/S, Denmark’s leading distributor within plumbing, contracting, water supply, industry tools, and technical commodities, was facing challenges with their existing Business Intelligence (BI) solution. The development and design of new applications were time-consuming, and the company was dealing with a large volume of data. The company was also experiencing growing information needs due to increasing web-based trading. The logistics department at the head office of Brdr. Dahl in Brøndby, near Copenhagen, had used a traditional BI solution for a couple of years. They were actually content with their solution, but the development and design of new applications were time-consuming. Read More
About Customer	Brdr. Dahl A/S is Denmark’s leading distributor within plumbing, contracting, water supply, industry tools, and technical commodities. The company has a clear and simple vision: To deliver the right commodity, in time – and at the right price. The company has 56 branch offices all over the country and offers more than 50,000 part numbers. The company experiences an increasing demand through their e-trade system bdNet, where customers have access to the entire range of products, extensive product information, knowledge about product optimizing, availability, order status, total expenditure, order history and much more. The thought was that for the customer e-trade should provide more than just a fast purchase. Brdr. Dahl has taken e-trade to the next level and offers vital information – not just for the individual procurement manager, but information that can be useful for all in the customer’s company.

Solution	Brdr. Dahl A/S decided to implement QlikView, a Business Intelligence tool, to address their challenges. QlikView was fed with the same data as their old solution, but presented the analysis in a whole new way. QlikView showed them things they didn’t already know. User-friendliness and flexibility in relation to analysis are vital when you constantly try to see things in a new way. With QlikView, Brdr. Dahl could start an innovative process, because the results quickly and easily can be combined and integrated in a vast number of ways. From the decision to implement QlikView was taken, it only took 2-3 weeks before the first useful analysis and results could be presented in clear graphic form. Brdr. Dahl transfers every day 16-20,000 transactions into QlikView, meaning that the analysable data volume is growing rapidly and provides the company with an invaluable knowledge to base their future decisions on.
