Challenge	EAT, a successful high street food retailer in London, was facing challenges with its data analysis process. The company was relying on Excel for data analysis, which involved going through numerous spreadsheets to find specific information. The process of downloading data to share with teams was time-consuming and led to inconsistencies when different employees ended up working from various versions of the 'latest' information. This was particularly problematic in the fast-paced food and drink industry where product popularity can change rapidly due to factors like competitor deals or weather changes. EAT needed a system that could provide managers with instant access to easily digestible information in real-time. Read More

The QlikView Business Discovery platform was found to be perfect for EAT's needs. The company underwent a company-wide deployment of the tool, which is now being used across all functions of the business – from HR to IT, finance and sales departments, inventory management, and even in food production. Each department now has access to their own individual dashboards, providing directors with all necessary information, whether drilling down into the least profitable products or most successful members of staff. As all data is in real-time, it is consistent across the business so the HR department can be analysing the very same data as IT or Finance, to harness their own insights.
