Case Study: Ocean & Earth achieves real-time operational insights and improved inventory management with Qlik Sense

Riding a wave of success Transforming operations to gain competitive advantage

Ocean & Earth, an Australian surf accessory retailer with more than 40 years of growth and sales across 15+ countries, struggled to turn the volume of channel and product data it generated into clear, actionable insight. Relying on Excel left the company unable to display performance and inventory information in a usable way to support teams and strategic decision-making.

Working with technology partner Decision Inc., Ocean & Earth replaced Excel with Qlik Sense to use live data for comparing sales, product and location performance against KPIs, and to forecast and monitor stock levels. The integrated view across channels improved customer service by keeping stores properly stocked and gave sales and leadership the clear on-screen insights needed to make strategic decisions and stay ahead of the competition.
