Case Study: KYDEX achieves faster, easier access to key information and analysis with Infor Birst

KYDEX, LLC Uses Birst to Gain Faster, Easier Access to Key Information and Analysis

KYDEX, a global leader in specialty thermoplastic sheet manufacturing, faced slow, manual reporting from a text-based ERP that required exporting data and heavy spreadsheet work to produce static sales and operations reports. The process was time-consuming, limited ad-hoc analysis, and left business users dependent on IT for up-to-date insights—so the company decided to implement a BI solution when changing ERP systems.

KYDEX chose Birst’s SaaS BI for its low-risk, quick deployment and self-service web dashboards. The solution removed manual calculations, freed IT to focus elsewhere, and delivered real-time sales, finance, and operations dashboards that enable trend analysis by factors like color and market segment—improving stocking, marketing targeting, forecasting, and overall customer satisfaction while allowing expansion into company-wide KPI monitoring.
