Case Study: Leading Pharmaceutical & Packaged Goods Manufacturing Company achieves 5–12% efficiency gains and $35+ million annual savings with Qlik

Leading global medical devices, pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods manufacturing company is using Qlik & Cloudera to drive efficiency

A leading global manufacturer of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and consumer packaged goods partnered with Qlik® and Cloudera to turn siloed, overnight reporting into timely, actionable insights. The company faced fragmented, aggregate-level reports drawn from structured warehouses and needed granular, real-time visibility across plants, products and processes to improve quality and throughput.

By ingesting data from machine sensors and diverse on‑ and off‑premise sources—storing critical data in a data lake and routing non‑critical data directly to Qlik—the team enabled real‑time quality tracking, standardized dashboards on factory monitors and self‑service exploration. Accounting for factors like weather, lighting, temperature and employee morale, this modernized approach delivered 5–12% efficiency gains and $35–40 million in annual savings (highlighted: $35+ million per year).
