Case Study: Public Ports Authority of Andalusia achieves 30‑day BI rollout and instant financial insights with Qlik

Andalusia Ports Authority Installs QlikView in Record Time

The Public Ports Authority of Andalusia (APPA), a 250‑employee government body based in Seville responsible for port policy and goods transportation, needed a cost‑effective BI tool to process and analyse ten years of operational data and speed decision‑making. Facing disparate sources (SQL Server 2000/2005, Access, Oracle, Excel) and large volumes, APPA required a solution that could be deployed quickly and be easy for staff to use.

APPA installed QlikView in just 30 days, integrating 20 GB and about 50 million records for 15 users across finance, operations and IT. The zero‑footprint deployment delivered near‑real‑time financial and operational dashboards—covering invoicing, outstanding payments, P&L, landing volumes and harbour usage—drastically reducing time to obtain information, improving reporting and supporting faster decisions; the authority reported high user satisfaction following the rollout.
