Case Study: PT. Kapal Api Global achieves lightning-fast BI on 1.5 billion records with QlikView (Qlik)

QlikView Provides Business Discovery for PT. Kapal Api Global’s Big Data

PT. Kapal Api Global, an Indonesian FMCG manufacturer and distributor best known for its Kapal Api coffee brand with a footprint of over 500,000 stores, needed clearer visibility into distribution and manufacturing to support growth. Their analytics struggled with massive data volumes (about 1.5 billion records/200 million rows), and conventional BI tools required 2–3 weeks to prepare reports, slowing decision-making.

The company deployed QlikView to 65 users in under seven weeks, avoiding a bespoke data warehouse and enabling interactive dashboards that generate nationwide reports in under 20 seconds and regional/branch reports in about 2 seconds. The faster, centrally accessed BI shortened reporting lead times, delivered granular sales and operational insights, and paved the way to expand analytics across manufacturing and retail and scale to 500+ users.
