Case Study: Manpower achieves faster, standardized, and more strategic analytics with Tableau Software

ManpowerGroup - Customer Case Study

ManpowerGroup, a global HR services leader with 400,000 clients in 80 countries, faced a major data challenge: valuable information was siloed across regions and formats, teams relied on anecdote-driven, one-off Excel solutions, and IT-driven reports from Cognos created long queues. Producing a single large client business review could take five people about three weeks, yielding inconsistent answers and limiting strategic insight.

By building a small analytics team and standardizing on Tableau (Desktop, Server and Online), Manpower blended disparate sources, automated refreshes and enabled self-service visual analysis. The change cut weeks from report cycles, turned a three‑week effort into two people delivering reviews for 50 clients in a day or two, produced hundreds of business-review documents, drove higher internal adoption and more strategic client conversations, and helped identify roughly $100,000 in savings for a key customer.
