Case Study: AutoZone achieves timely, accurate enterprise analytics across 5,500 stores with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

AutoZone Shifts Into High Gear With Big Data Analytics

AutoZone, the leading U.S. retailer and distributor of automotive replacement parts with roughly 5,500 stores and 70,000 users, needed a way to roll out flexible analytics enterprise‑wide without burdening field workers with custom software or complex reporting procedures. The company also sought to analyze large telematics and point‑of‑sale data to improve operations, inventory and fleet performance.

Information Builders delivered a browser‑based solution using WebFOCUS, ReportCaster and database adaptors to integrate existing systems, provide guided self‑service reports and automate daily updates. The platform supports over 1 million weekly requests with sub‑second response, made analytics timelier and more consistent, automated key processes across HR, inventory and loss‑prevention, and enabled big‑data fleet analysis to optimize dispatching and reduce risk.
