Challenge	Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), a major player in the Indian FMCG market, was facing challenges with its reporting process. The company was dealing with duplication in reporting and delayed response times across departments. This was affecting the decision-making process as the reports were not available in real-time. GCPL was using SAP ERP as its foundation which was supported by the SAP Netweaver Business Warehouse solution for Business Intelligence, analytics, and reporting.

Solution	GCPL decided to deploy QlikView 11 business discovery software into its sales function for over 350 users. The organization intends to implement the solution across its supply chain and finance departments before rolling it to its other international locations around the world. The deployment of the QlikView solution took around three months to fully deploy and required no user training. The solution was very simple to set up, integrate, and customize. Users can get up and running in next to no time. The area that takes time is actually the internal assessment of what each team needs in terms of a customized view of the data. The solution development and deployment is efficient and hassle-free. Read More Log in to view content
