Victory Packaging, a leading North American distributor of end-to-end packaging and supply-chain solutions, was facing challenges due to rapid growth and increasing customer demands. The company's legacy PICK enterprise resource planning (ERP) system was unable to handle the growing demands, leading to inefficiencies. The company implemented a new wholesale distribution and supply-chain execution software package from International Business Systems (IBS), but lacked a business intelligence (BI) tool that could aggregate data from this system, analyze it, and deliver timely information to company decision-makers. The company needed a BI platform that could simultaneously access applications and combine data from AS/400 and Microsoft Windows platforms.

Victory Packaging selected the Information Builders WebFOCUS BI platform to replace manual reporting processes with applications that enable self-service reporting. In less than six months, the company created powerful end-user reporting applications and dashboards for managing sales, finance, and inventory. From sales representatives to executives, employees can now click on graphs and drill into operational metrics – tracking sales, managing budgets, verifying inventory, and automating a host of other operational tasks. They can also be proactive in suggesting integrated packaging solutions that improve their customers’ business processes while cutting costs. The company engaged Information Builders Professional Services to help develop its initial BI applications under a tight implementation deadline. The first application to go online was the Daily Flash Report, a parameterized report that is automatically delivered to executives and sales representatives via e-mail each day.
