Case Study: SKF achieves accurate forecasting and strategic sales & production planning with Talend

SKF - Customer Case Study

SKF, a global manufacturing leader in bearings, seals and lubrication systems, faced a growing forecasting challenge: disparate Excel files and multiple data sources made demand and production planning slow, error-prone and hard to standardize. The company needed a single source of truth to support accurate market and product forecasts and to scale with increasing data volume.

SKF implemented Talend Data Management (Talend Data Integration on AWS and Talend Data Quality) with partner QuinScape, building a data vault that ingests SQL warehouses, sales files, Excel simulations and product databases and validates new sources before integration. The solution cut integration time from days to hours, saved about one person-year of staff time, and delivered a standardized platform that enables faster, strategic sales and production planning.
