Case Study: Gestamp Automoción achieves unified global reporting with QlikView (Qlik)

Gestamp Information Running Smoothly Due to QlikView

Gestamp Automoción is a global developer and manufacturer of metal components for the automotive industry, with 57 plants in 18 countries and more than 13,500 employees. The company struggled with fragmented reporting—each purchasing division used Excel macros and eight different ERPs—so it needed a unified, efficient reporting solution that could integrate data from its FULLSTEP GS purchasing platform across multiple languages and currencies.

Gestamp chose QlikView for its ease of use, rapid implementation and competitive pricing, deploying a purchasing scorecard in 2007 and extending to HR and quality by 2009. With QlikView Server and multi-language, multi-ERP and multi-currency functionality, about 200 users now have fast, unified access to management information in local currencies, enabling clearer, quicker analysis and meeting objectives sooner than expected while the company continues to expand QlikView use.
