Case Study: Nolte-Möbel achieves company-wide production transparency and improved on-time delivery with QlikView

Nolte-Möbel Analyzes Company-Wide Business Data For Just-In-Time Production With QlikView

Nolte-Möbel, a German cabinet and bedroom-furniture manufacturer producing about 300 tons of custom furniture per day, needed tight coordination for just‑in‑time production but was overwhelmed by paper-based statistics and changing customer parameters. The company sought a flexible analytics solution that avoided constant OLAP cube rebuilding and would give employees transparent, fast access to the right operational data.

Nolte deployed QlikView (Server and Publisher) across more than 200 users, with about 150 production staff using a central portal that aggregates PPC, PDC, ADO and planning data. The implementation delivered real‑time sales and production visibility (orders, capacity, downtime, logistics), cut IT/programming effort by ~25%, reduced paper costs by ~50%, improved responsiveness to production issues, increased on‑time delivery and route efficiency, and materially improved data quality.
