Case Study: Barry Callebaut improves decision-making and efficiency with Poka Analytics

Identifying and Prioritizing Improvement Opportunities with Poka Analytics at Barry Callebaut

Barry Callebaut, a leading chocolate manufacturer, needed a better way to prioritize continuous improvement opportunities and turn shop-floor data into actionable insights. Before using Poka, teams relied on manual, paper-based workflows and then spent extra time downloading, cleaning, and analyzing data from digital forms for daily and cross-site reporting.

With Poka Analytics, Barry Callebaut created automated in-app dashboards for foreign material reporting, 5S audits, and skills matrices, consolidating data from multiple plants into one view. Poka helped cut reporting and data-prep time dramatically, including reducing one weekly skills-matrix task to a quick review and eliminating up to 20 minutes per day of manual reporting work, while improving decision-making, trend analysis, and follow-up across teams.
