Case Study: IJsvogel achieves real-time business insights with Looker

Building business value fast by empowering developers to easily connect apps

IJsvogel Retail, a Netherlands-based retailer of pet and garden products with 200 stores and a large webshop, needed better visibility into customer demand and a faster way to connect its applications and logistics systems. The company wanted to replace slow, on-premises processes and outdated reporting with more integrated data access. Looker was one of the key products considered as IJsvogel worked to build a more holistic view of its business.

Looker helped IJsvogel democratize analytics across the organization, giving teams from POS to ERP access to actionable insights for order fulfillment, supply chain, and marketing. Combined with Google Cloud, the new setup enabled real-time reporting and much faster operations: app connections that once took four months now take two weeks, and finance reports that previously took three months are ready in two days.
