Challenge	MAF Carrefour Hypermarkets, a rapidly expanding retail industry player in the Middle East region, faced challenges in gaining rapid access to massive amounts of data and reducing time for analysis and reporting. The senior executives needed meaningful answers at their fingertips as operational decision making is key to driving performance in highly competitive and growing markets. The challenge was not only to deliver a tool that can fill the gap of a managerial dashboard but also provide an in-depth view into the data below as and when needed.

Solution	MAF Carrefour Hypermarkets deployed QlikView applications for store operations, finance, and sourcing to more than 150 of its management staff.
