Case Study: Heembouw achieves automated visual management and major man‑hour savings with Qlik (QlikView)

Heembouw Enhances Visual Management, A Component Of The Lean Business Philosophy, With QlikView

Heembouw, a Dutch one-stop provider of building services with about 280 employees, adopts a Lean Building philosophy in which visual management is critical. The company struggled to maintain 30–40 project dashboards a month because colleagues had to pull data from source systems and manually assemble Excel reports, a slow, error-prone process that limited timely, uniform insight into project performance.

Working with partner E-mergo, Heembouw implemented QlikView to integrate Microsoft Dynamics and Excel data and automate sourcing and project dashboards, delivering Just‑in‑Time, visual reporting. The solution cut manual data‑entry hours, virtually eliminated error margins, freed staff to analyze rather than collect data, improved visibility of opportunities and risks (budget, hours, quality, satisfaction), and created a platform for wider rollout and mobile access.
