Case Study: DeLuca Homes achieves on-time delivery and higher margins with Qlik

Qlikview Provides Easy Foundation For Growing User Community In DeLuca Homes

DeLuca Homes, a vertically integrated homebuilder founded in 1963 with operations across the mid‑Atlantic and Florida, needed better visibility to manage complex construction schedules, streamline supplier and design‑center choices, and do more with a small IT team. The company faced disparate data sources, limited technical resources (three IT staff), and the risk of costly custom reporting while trying to protect margins and ensure on‑time closings.

DeLuca deployed 15 QlikView applications (with QlikView Publisher 3.3 and Server) to about 30 users and used QlikView Connector to pull SAP and other data into a single view, automating updates, distribution and security. The solution delivers real‑time forecasts, scheduling alerts and buyer‑preference analysis (e.g., 85% of buyers chose five of 15 cabinet options), eliminated expensive custom reports, produced powerful reports in hours, and improved margins, on‑time delivery and scalability with minimal administrative overhead.
