Case Study: Nacka Municipality achieves millions in annual savings with Qlik

Nacka Municipality saves millions with QlikView

Nacka Municipality, a Swedish local government serving about 78,000 residents, needed better visibility into spending and faster financial reporting after upgrading to an IFS ERP system. The municipality struggled with high costs from purchases made outside contracted suppliers, time-consuming manual data collection by controllers, and an IT bottleneck for ad-hoc reports, which hindered budget control and compliance.

Nacka deployed QlikView to 250 users across finance, supply chain and HR to pull and analyze IFS data in real time, with invoice‑level drill-down, purchasing compliance checks and balanced scorecard capabilities. The user-friendly solution (one hour of training) cut report generation time by up to 75%, delivered payback in under three months, and produced annual savings estimated at $0.7–1.4M from improved contract purchasing plus $425–575k from reporting efficiencies, freeing controllers to focus on strategic work.
