Qlik® (NASDAQ: QLIK), a leader in data discovery, and its partner Nevis-Horsa Group, today announced that OVS, a leading Italian value fashion retailer, has deployed Qlik® Sense in the Sourcing and Supply Department to help streamline and coordinate the different purchasing departments across the organization. With this purchase, OVS will be leveraging Qlik to address the need for guided analytics and self-service visualization across the enterprise.

OVS began using QlikView® in 2011 to carry out advanced analysis of logistics control, assortment planning, order entry, and products delivery. Since its deployment, QlikView has become an integral tool for operations being used across the company to shorten processing times and speed analysis. Based on the success of QlikView, OVS has identified further opportunities for self-service BI and data visualization via Qlik Sense.

“QlikView is an extremely flexible tool that allows us to do all different types of analyses. The platform helps us to save a time and identify trends, which weren’t recognizable before,” said Renzo Grotto, Manager Supply Chain Application Development Group, OVS. “Based on the great results we’ve had, we have decided to expand our use of Qlik throughout the organization via Qlik Sense to further increase the autonomy of our end users.”

The OVS deployment will be focused on the retailer’s sourcing and supply department. Qlik Sense will help users with data analysis for product collections and the status of orders and arrivals. This will allow business users to make strategic decisions without needing to go to their management team for additional insight. By empowering front-line users, employees can increase productivity and make informed decisions faster.

“The Qlik two product strategy allows customers like OVS leverage existing investments in data models for QlikView and make them immediately available to Qlik Sense, creating instant value, and maintaining enterprise-wide governance,” said David Telford, Senior Director, Sector Group Lead Manufacturing and Service Industries, Qlik. “By extending our work with OVS, we will help ensure that employees of all levels can rapidly create visually rich analytics to explore theories, prove hypothesis, or discover new trends that can change the trajectory of their business.”

“At Horsa we seek to provide strategic business support to our customers by integrating different solutions and challenging them to innovate,” said Henry Gasparoni, Sales Manager Business Analytics, Horsa. “Our experience with QlikView is well established and we are now ready to help our customers take their businesses to the next level with the self-service visualization capabilities of Qlik Sense.”
