Case Study: BAE Systems achieves 3 months of HR time savings and faster analytics with Alteryx

New Human Resource Dashboard Results in 3 Months of Time Savings

BAE Systems’ Workforce Intelligence team in HR faced slow, manual, and inconsistent reporting that kept them "living in the data." Using disparate tools (Excel, Access, SQL, R) meant dashboards were often released weeks after month-end, affirmative-action processing changed hands frequently and took months, and leadership lacked timely HR metrics to inform decisions.

By implementing Alteryx-driven workflows feeding Tableau dashboards, the team automated data prep and analytics: HR dashboard preprocessing dropped from 8–16 hours/month to under 10 minutes, Affirmative Action processing fell from ~40 hours to 7 minutes plus 1 hour for data checks, and a flight-risk analysis timeline shortened from six months to about one month. The automation reduced errors, freed analysts for higher-value modeling and forecasting, and delivered timely, executive-grade insights across HR and other business functions.
