Case Study: Saker ShopRites achieves paperless reporting, faster analytics and lower costs with Altair Knowledge Works (Datawatch Enterprise Server)

Saker ShopRites Goes Green After Adding Datawatch to its IT Shopping Cart

Saker ShopRites, a family-owned supermarket group operating 29 stores in Central New Jersey, relied on a paper-heavy reporting process—printing, couriering and microfiche—that delayed access to critical accounting, payroll and POS reports and required manual rekeying. Facing the twin goals of “going green” and preserving easy access to trusted data, the company sought a web-enabled, user-friendly reporting solution.

Saker deployed Datawatch Enterprise Server to capture, index and archive reports for secure web retrieval and to convert static reports into live, Excel-ready data without programming. The move eliminated physical report distribution and manual data entry, cut printing and microfiche costs (achieving a 12‑month ROI), reduced the company’s carbon footprint, and gave managers immediate access to trusted analytics to boost store productivity.
