Case Study: SKF Group achieves unified, real-time global KPI reporting with Jedox

Skf Make More Effective Decisions, Every Single Day

SKF, a global high‑tech engineering and manufacturing leader (7.5 billion EUR sales in 2013, ~50,000 employees across 165 plants), struggled with decentralized, error‑prone Excel reporting and inconsistent KPIs across international sites. Manual consolidation took days and obscured the data managers needed to make timely, fact‑based decisions.

SKF deployed Jedox to deliver web‑based, enterprise KPI dashboards with native data integration and in‑memory analytics. Power users modeled data and built cubes and dashboards largely in‑house within 10 weeks (with only two consulting days), creating unified, drill‑down KPIs that are instantly accessible worldwide. The result: automated, trusted reporting, one part‑time administrator, higher user adoption, faster decisions and improved transparency across the group.
