Gestamp Automoción, an international group dealing in the development and manufacture of components and metal assemblies for motor vehicles, was facing a challenge with its data management. The company had a large amount of information, a large number of users, and disparate, international information coming from eight different enterprise resource planning systems (ERPs) across its production plants. The information wasn’t unified and there was no way to achieve this automatically with the legacy system. Reports were prepared using macros and in presentations or spreadsheets. Gestamp Automoción needed a complete, efficient reporting system. The company was looking for an application to complete its FULLSTEP GS purchasing platform and integrate information from that platform with data from the company’s various ERPs.

Gestamp Automoción decided to implement QlikView to unify its information. The deployment began in 2007, starting with a scorecard for the purchasing department. Following its success, it was decided to deploy QlikView in other business units: the human resources department in 2008 to monitor travel expenses as well as telephone use. And in 2009, it was extended to the quality control department for incident control. QlikView Server was deployed, providing instant access to information from anywhere in the world for any authorised user. And the “zero footprint” and Windows client were selected to provide access for anyone in the company with only the need for occasional use of the system. The Multi-idioma (multi-language), MultiERP, and MultiDivisa (multi-currency) functions that Sand implemented in the QlikView scorecard was of great benefit to the company.

Fast, easy access to a large amount of management information in an accessible, manageable way for a large number of users.
The agility of QlikView technology in integrating information in such a diverse, international environment, with eight different ERPs and an attached purchasing and negotiation system validated the choice of QlikView.
The Multi-idioma (multi-language), MultiERP, and MultiDivisa (multi-currency) functions that Sand implemented in the QlikView scorecard was of great benefit to the company.
Around 200 people—80 senior managers and 120 qualified workers—can access business critical information through QlikView.
