Success Story - Wealth Management Firm

A major Wealth Management and Mutual Fund company provides investment strategy and management to a variety of traditional institutional financial investors as well as individual investors. Products range from Strategically Managed Funds to Mutual Funds, Emerging Market Funds and so on.

The firm reports daily end-of-day activity as it’s Assets under Management and tracks how their Sales and Marketing efforts contribute to the bottom line. However, they were unable to marry the two worlds of managed assets with their sales efforts. They were completely disconnected in reporting while intimately connected in the business sense. The firm had no means of doing comparative ad hoc analysis or business discovery to insure balanced, diversified portfolios.

Using QlikView’s in-memory analytics and self-service BI features, we developed: ​

• A combined world where Managed Assets were viewed side-by-side with Sales and Marketing efforts. Spikes in data could now be explained.
• Consolidated views of Assets under Management across various dimensions and timelines. Detailed drill downs across these dimensions accessing critical information was quick and did not require additional spreadsheets.

Success Story - Global Consumer Product - Retail

A manufacturer and retailer of upscale luxury products to its customers globally. Products range from mainstream goods to accessories and other fashion goods.

The enterprise has data being sourced from multiple spreadsheets and being analyzed separately by different business units using extracts from SAP, manual excel files and other operational applications. There was no single definition of the truth. Conversations were carried out using emailed or shared excel files that were cumbersome to maintain and update due to macros. There were extract job failures that delayed the daily reports from being generated that ultimately affected performance.
