Case Study: Novozymes achieves 90% faster reporting and mobile-empowered sales with Tableau Software

Biotechnology company, Novozymes empowers sales teams with mobile dashboards & cuts reporting time by 90%

Novozymes, a global biotechnology company based near Copenhagen, faced slow, static reporting driven by Excel extracts from SAP BW that could take as long as 18 months to develop and eroded users’ trust in the data. The company needed faster, more trusted analytics that could be used across sales, planning, finance and operations.

By rolling out Tableau Server to 600+ users in six months and connecting dashboards directly to SAP BW and CRM, Novozymes democratized analytics and empowered business users and sales reps with Tableau Mobile. Reporting times dropped from roughly 1.5 years to about one month (a >90% reduction), account managers now surface opportunities and share insights in the field, IT focuses on strategic work, and the company plans to scale to over 2,000 users.
