Case Study: Poly-Wood, LLC streamlines data warehouse creation and accelerates data-driven decisions with Qlik Compose (Qlik)

Poly-Wood, LLC Streamlines Data Warehouse Creation to Support Continued Business Growth

Poly-Wood, a growing outdoor-furniture manufacturer that recycles HDPE into POLYWOOD lumber, needed a general-purpose data warehouse to support BI, analytics and enterprise data modeling. Their existing BI tool produced proprietary warehouses and lacked native data governance, and the company faced disparate sources (Sage ERP, internal SQL/MySQL systems, Podio CRM, geospatial feeds, XML/Excel) that made unified, flexible access difficult.

Poly-Wood implemented Qlik Compose, a visual, model‑based data warehouse automation tool, to unify those sources and automate design, extraction, mapping and transformations. The result: data marts that once took several days can now be created in a day, employees get real-time and historical data for faster, more confident decisions, and the company is better positioned to scale analytics and support continued growth.
