Case Study: Box Plus Network achieves optimized programme scheduling and 95% faster reporting with Tableau Software

Box Plus optimizes scheduling across the UK’s no.1 music video network with Tableau

The Box Plus Network is the UK’s number-one music video broadcaster, operating seven channels (including The Box, 4Music and Kiss) and reaching over 16.6 million viewers a month. The company struggled with massive BARB viewing and demographic datasets, relying on slow, manual Excel processes that made accurate programme scheduling and timely reporting difficult and labor intensive.

By adopting Tableau—using heatmaps, direct server connections and cloud dashboards—Box Plus automated reporting, cut report turnaround from over an hour to 2–3 minutes (a ~95% time saving), and put self-service analytics into the hands of more than half the staff. The result: faster, insight-driven scheduling, elimination of costly external BI services, and broader organizational access to up-to-date audience intelligence.
