Case Study: WD-40 achieves instant analysis of 500,000+ order lines and faster reporting with Qlik

WD-40 Keeps Business Running Smoothly With QlikView

WD-40, the global consumer-products maker with brands sold in more than 160 countries, struggled with slow, hard-copy weekly reports and limited access to customer and sales data after an ERP rollout. The company needed faster, user-friendly analysis across sales, supply chain and finance while reducing the burden on a small IT team.

WD-40 deployed QlikView (integrated with its Scala system) to 35 users in under two weeks, enabling instant, on‑demand analysis of more than 500,000 order lines without changing the ERP or database. The solution sped reporting and order-to-delivery processes, uncovered selling opportunities and margin/rebate issues, and drastically cut manual hours and IT effort, improving cross‑functional efficiency and decision-making.
