Case Study: Kirchhoff Datensysteme Software achieves easy ETL, faster analytics and optimized profitability with Hitachi Vantara (Pentaho)

Kirchhoff Datensysteme Software Thrives With Data

Kirchhoff Datensysteme Software, a provider of industry-specific solutions for the plastics compounding industry, needed a flexible, user-friendly ETL and analytics platform to power its Poly.MIS reporting and be embeddable in Poly.ERP. To handle diverse data from ERP, energy management, production planning and quality systems and to let business users run analyses without IT help, Kirchhoff turned to Hitachi Vantara and its Pentaho Business Analytics and Pentaho Data Integration products.

Hitachi Vantara implemented Pentaho Data Integration to automate and simplify ETL across proprietary sources and Pentaho Business Analytics to deliver preconfigured dashboards and reports. As a result, Poly.MIS now offers stand‑alone or embedded analytics, easy-to-manage ETL, support for a broad range of data sources, and industry-specific scenarios (gross profit/contribution margin, inventory, energy and sales analyses). These capabilities have helped Kirchhoff Datensysteme Software optimize costs and profitability and let users run specialized reports without IT support.
