Case Study: JBS USA achieves company-wide data-driven decision-making with Qlik

Finding the Recipe for a Data-Driven Company

JBS USA, a global leader in protein processing with more than 100,000 employees, faced the common barrier to becoming data-driven: organizational fear of opening access to data. Past experiences with inconsistent definitions, accidental edits, and centralized BI bottlenecks had created reluctance to share information broadly, limiting the company’s ability to use data in everyday decisions.

JBS tackled the challenge by democratizing analytics with Qlik—offering three-day introductory training to any employee, weekly “collaboration hours,” broad Qlik Sense licensing (including Continuous Classroom), and an inclusive change-management approach that preserved existing QlikView assets while cultivating early adopters as champions. The result was widespread, supported data access across the business, faster, more informed decision-making, greater agility in spotting trends, and measurable contribution to the company’s sustained growth.
