Heijmans chooses TimeXtender®
Data is also becoming increasingly important in the construction industry. From safety to productivity, and from streamlining business processes to proactive maintenance, the sector is making increasing use of data. At Heijmans, following a SAP implementation in 2014, Qlik software was deployed to give employees and management access to reports & analytics. After several years of successful use, during which demand from the business for reports kept increasing, it was time for the next step: developing a data estate.
The Result
Data management is simplified
If something changes anywhere in the data, it's immediately clear which reports are affected. This means Heijmans also knows exactly where the data in a report comes from (lineage).
Automatic documentation
The fact that data is automatically documented is important; it helps Heijmans comply with laws and regulations such as GDPR.
Viewing reports is faster
Viewing a report is much faster because the logic is no longer embedded in the reports themselves, and everyone at Heijmans now talks about the same standardized and validated data. The well-known 'single source of truth', in other words.
“We now have a mature data management environment. Unlocking new data sources happens automatically.”
