Case Study: Apollo Vredestein achieves consolidated enterprise reporting and reduced errors with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

Apollo Vredestein Applies BI From the Executive Office to the Factory Floor

Apollo Vredestein is a Dutch tire manufacturer with multinational operations that needed a single, consolidated view of business data. Its best-of-breed IT approach left critical information scattered across homegrown and packaged systems, making consistent reporting, analytics, and information delivery difficult for users from the factory floor to executives.

The company implemented Information Builders’ WebFOCUS as a centralized BI portal (the Vredestein Information Portal) to deliver role-based reports, interactive dashboards, and live production displays. The solution unified hundreds of data sources, improved data consistency and access control, accelerated reporting, reduced errors and costs, and increased user satisfaction—enabling faster, more informed decisions and new revenue and efficiency opportunities.
