Case Study: ADO International achieves rapid, flexible data analysis and 80% ad-hoc sales query resolution with Qlik

QlikView provides an aha experience for drapery specialist ADO

ADO Gardinenwerke, Germany’s largest drapery and decorative fabric manufacturer with some 50,000 articles and 6,000 customers, struggled to get timely, reliable insights from its ERP system. Its legacy BI tools were slow, inflexible and required heavy IT development, causing long response times, data-quality issues and growing frustration among managers who needed quick, multidimensional analysis across sales, production, purchasing and other functions.

ADO deployed QlikView in a matter of weeks (the initial ADO Sales Information System was built in two days) and rolled it out to users across seven functional areas. The in-memory solution unlocked ERP data for fast ad-hoc analysis, addressed 80% of sales queries without IT intervention, shortened response times with large datasets, improved data consistency and significantly reduced IT workload—delivering rapid, flexible business insights.
