Case Study: Apotek 1 achieves 100X faster insights with Exasol

Apotek 1 speeds insights 100X with EXASOL

Apotek 1, Norway's leading pharmacy chain, faced significant challenges with its analytics platform. After migrating to Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, the company suffered from unpredictable and slow query performance, with times ranging from seconds to hours. This severely hindered data-driven decision-making, frustrated over 1,000 users, and limited the company's ability to optimize crucial operations like promotional campaigns and inventory management. To overcome these limitations, Apotek 1 partnered with vendor EXASOL to implement its high-performance analytics database.

By implementing the Exasol Database as an analytics acceleration layer, EXASOL provided a solution that delivered immediate and transformative results. Query performance improved by 10 to 100 times, reducing complex queries from hours to seconds. This enabled deep, granular analysis for over 1,000 users across 450+ pharmacies, allowing Apotek 1 to optimize promotions, reduce stockouts, and foster a true data-driven culture. The solution also eliminated data pipeline bottlenecks, improving data processing times by another 10 to 100-fold.
