Case Study

Flexible price planning with a K4 Analytics extension directly in the Qlik Cloud

Lohmann & Rauscher (L&R) is a leading international supplier of medical and hygiene products with over 5,700 employees and locations in 29 countries. In view of the enormous amount of data from over 56,000 SKUs, manual price planning in Excel was increasingly reaching its limits. Complex calculations, a lack of transparency and the high cost of making changes made a centralized solution necessary.

Together with celver, L&R implemented a smart K4 extension to the existing analytics system in the Qlik Cloud. The new solution enables flexible, automated price planning and changes based on a standardized data model - directly integrated into the familiar BI environment. Further details can be found in the complete case study.

As the users were already familiar with the systemic display in QlikSense, we decided to extend the planning with K4 Analytics. This made it easy for users to get used to the system and the satisfaction rate was high.
