Case Study: Lifetime Brands achieves consolidated sales and supply-chain visibility and 99% faster reporting with QlikView (Qlik)

Lifetime Brands unlocks data in SAP® and other systems for seamless analysis with QlikView

Lifetime Brands, a leading North American designer and marketer of kitchenware and home products (brands include Farberware and Cuisinart), faced growing reporting and visibility problems as it expanded through acquisitions. Multiple legacy systems and a new SAP implementation left historical data inaccessible and made consolidated sales and supply-chain analysis slow and costly, hindering shareholder reporting and operational decision-making.

The company deployed QlikView (with QlikView Connector) to integrate SAP and disparate legacy systems, rolling out executive, sales and supply-chain apps to 145 users in about eight weeks. The solution collapsed roughly 100 reports into a single interface, cut report consolidation time by 99%, improved real-time visibility into inventory, sales and vendor performance, reduced IT effort, and enabled faster, more informed operational and strategic decisions.
