PGZ International is a logistics service provider in the do-it-yourself market with the mission of increasing turnover speed and lowering costs in the value chain. They achieve this with products, concepts and specialized services in the area of operations and supply chain management, both for their own products and for (A-brand) manufacturers in the DIY market. With around 150 million euros in revenue, 230 employees and 2 distribution centers, PGZ International has built a strong position in the Benelux and is strongly committed to an omnichannel strategy.
Data-driven company
Achieving growth goals requires insight, regardless of the size or sector of the company. Where do we stand today? How are we performing against our goals? To provide this insight and prepare the company for future growth, PGZ International started with Qlik Sense in 2017.
The Result
Blind spot
Data used to be a major blind spot, which has now been unlocked thanks to Qlik Sense in a simple, cost-efficient way. Every part of the business uses Qlik to explore data, whether or not with a preconceived idea. Qlik is used for supply chain optimization, data quality and for improving sales processes.
Digital transformation
Qlik helps PGZ International transform digitally. Data has since become an important part of the omnichannel strategy; PGZ not only provides logistics services, but data is also a (necessary) part of the omnichannel service offering. Only this way is it able to be a frontrunner in the digital world that is also gaining an increasing grip on the logistics and DIY sector.
Self-service
The organization is becoming increasingly aware of data and can therefore associate, compare and analyze even better. It's also convenient that, thanks to Qlik Sense, the business no longer has to go to IT for in-depth reports. This not only saves PGZ 1 FTE per year, but also enables the business to make better decisions faster.
“Thanks to Qlik Sense, we made the transition to a data-driven company in a very short time. This is important, because data is becoming the lubricant for our future business.”
