Case Study: KGM Kugelfabrik achieves fast, flexible data analysis and optimized quality management with Qlik

KGM Kugelfabrik - Customer Case Study

KGM Kugelfabrik, founded in 1913 and based in Fulda, Germany, is a manufacturer of precision spheres with about 200 employees and €20M in turnover. The company struggled with long start-up times and laborious analyses that required exporting to Excel, produced static two-period comparisons, and relied on fragmented data from Microsoft Dynamics, Access and Excel.

KGM implemented QlikView in just four weeks, avoiding rigid OLAP cubes and delivering flexible, company-wide analyses and dashboards for quality management (customer satisfaction per DIN EN ISO 9001), sales (usage, potential, turnover by client/region/sector) and executive reporting. The result is rapid, up-to-date access to all key indicators, dynamic drill-down from overview to detail, and optimized quality management and reporting.
