Financial and Operations Analysis and Reporting
Capabilities
Raleigh, N.C. – February
28, 2005 – QlikTech Inc., a leading provider of powerful
and rapidly deployable business intelligence, analysis
and reporting applications, today announced that WARN
Industries, the world’s most recognized name in off-road
products, has deployed QlikView to improve sales,
financial and operational performance. WARN has
deployed more than twenty-five QlikView business
analysis applications to employees across several
business functions to analyse and manage sales, finance,
production, and operations.
WARN’s initial QlikView
deployment was completed in under two weeks. This
deployment began with an implementation of QlikTech’s
Accounts Receivables and Sales Analysis applications for
the JD Edwards OneWorld Xe ERP system. WARN has since
added additional QlikView applications developed by
their in-house development staff. New applications take
between two days and two weeks to complete.
“With QlikView sales
analysis, we can see product family and division
performance down to the part number and product ship-to
location detail,” said Travis Pierce, IT Operations
Manager of WARN Industries. “With our QlikView general
ledger analysis application, managers can gain greater
control over their budgets and spending. The
manufacturing group uses QlikView to gain unprecedented
visibility into their internal cost accounting inputs −
including labour allocations for individual product
lines. Next we plan to work with our internal quality
team to build applications to support the new Six Sigma
initiative. QlikView allows us to deliver any corporate
metric or measurement that senior management requests
with exceptional speed.”
