Case Study: Kiloutou achieves real-time self-service data, faster pricing and 5‑minute financial closes with Talend Cloud

Empowering business divisions to work directly with data

Kiloutou, the fourth-largest equipment rental company in Europe with over 550 agencies and 5,000+ employees, needed to modernize a slow, on-premises data warehouse that kept business teams dependent on IT. Rapid data growth and day‑old reporting prevented divisions from running timely analyses for pricing, sales and finance, so the company launched the “Data 4 Business” initiative to deliver secure, self‑service access to real‑time data.

Kiloutou migrated legacy systems to a cloud data architecture using Snowflake for storage, Talend Cloud for integration and transformation, and Tableau for visualization. The new platform processes over 10 million daily entries, cuts financial close synchronization from 2.5 hours to under five minutes, enables twice‑daily pricing updates and on‑demand reporting, and synchronizes customer data daily—empowering divisions to run their own reports and deploy faster, data‑driven decisions.
