Challenge	The North West NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (NWCPH) was faced with the challenge of achieving a standard approach to collate and consolidate data from multiple financial and purchasing systems and turn it into useful management information. The Hub needed to automatically pull together, format and present financial data from many applications throughout its 38 separate Trust sponsor bodies managing more than €1.5 billion in annual spend. Previously, all financial data was handled manually. The process was undertaken annually for the primary reports for the North West Collaboration Hub, and on an ad-hoc basis by the Hub’s category managers when they needed any specific information. At best, this all took several weeks, and by the time all the data was in, it was usually out of date. Read More

Solution	The North West NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (NWCPH) deployed QlikView to 70 users across hub category managers and Trust body stakeholders in less than 12 weeks. With QlikView, NWCPH is now able to monitor benefits, spend and cost analysis, supplier and purchaser performance and category management – all focused on reducing procurement costs. With QlikView Server (64-bit) and Publisher, NWCPH easily aggregates and manages the data volume across the systems within the Hub and its network of Trust bodies. Since implementation, the Hub has been rolling out the data feeds to and from the Trusts and developing the application to include additional data analysis and giving access to both Hub employees and Trust employees as well. With QlikView, both the Hub and individual Trusts can see the same information, and the flexible drill down functionality allows complete interrogation of the data. Read More Log in to view content
