Case Study: Quality Bearings Online achieves faster, data-driven decision-making with Phocas

Everyone can do more with their data, when it’s easy to understand and analyze

Quality Bearings Online, a UK-based e-commerce distributor of bearings and engineering spares, needed a faster, more intuitive way to analyze ERP and operational data without slowing down day-to-day work. The company used Sage 200 and wanted a business intelligence tool that was easy for teams to adopt and could support quick, ad hoc analysis for better decision-making. Phocas Analytics was chosen to make data more accessible across the organization.

Phocas implemented a seamless integration with Sage 200, giving QBOL visual dashboards, automated reporting, and easy access to live data for teams across the business. The impact was immediate: one marketing analysis task dropped from 2 hours of prep plus 6 to 12 hours of cleaning and analysis to just 5 minutes, and teams were able to make faster, more informed decisions. Quality Bearings Online also expanded use of Phocas into financial statements, budgets, and forecasts, while improving collaboration, supplier visibility, and overall reporting efficiency.
