Case Study: RS Components achieves faster decision-making and higher productivity with Qlik

RS Components Enables Its Team To Focus On Business-Critical Analysis

RS Components, part of Electrocomponents PLC and a global distributor of electronic and industrial products, operates across Asia Pacific with over 1,000 employees and a catalog of 450,000 items. Faced with geographically dispersed JD Edwards and Pivotal systems, the company spent excessive time manually consolidating data, delaying strategic decisions and masking performance insights needed for KPIs and management discussions.

Working with KMS, RS Components implemented QlikView to draw eight primary data sources into a central server with daily automated loads and Active Directory–based security, completing deployment in 2.5 months. The solution eliminated manual consolidation, enabled self-service analysis, sharply reduced report turnaround (from weeks to on-demand), freed resources for value-added analysis, and improved decision-making and business visibility across the region.
