Case Study: Bronto Skylift achieves 20% more accurate forecasts and near‑real‑time reporting with Tableau Software

Bronto Skylift enjoys 20% more accurate forecasts hours faster with Tableau

Bronto Skylift, a Finnish market leader in vehicle‑mounted aerial platforms for firefighting, rescue and industrial use, faced a “data rescue” challenge: critical information lived in multiple ERPs and spreadsheets, reporting was slow and manual, and decisions were often based on outdated or inconsistent data—forecasts were produced in spreadsheets and took a full day each week to compile, with reporting up to 30 days old.

Working with partner Solutive, Bronto deployed Tableau Desktop and Server to create a single, visual reporting platform managed by a small core team. The change delivered near real‑time sales updates (every two hours), drill‑down geographic intelligence, and replaced scattered spreadsheets and PowerPoint charts—cutting weekly forecasting time from one day to one hour and improving forecast accuracy by about 20%.
