Task

In the search for a new software solution for analysis and reporting, the project team chose antares analyzer. The software emerged as the clear winner from the evaluation matrix with several analysis tools, among other things due to the simple and intuitive front end, good navigation options and consistent look and feel of the screens. Leifheit users from sales, finance and management were to be provided with a tool that would improve the quality and timeliness of information. In addition, consistent and accurate sales and turnover evaluations should be possible, and targeted sales and market information should be currently available. Leifheit also attached importance to being able to carry out meaningful and flexible reporting throughout the group.

Solution

The antares solution, which can be used immediately, is based on the BI development platform Longview Enterprise and offers pre-conceived data models and masks for reports and analyses developed from practical experience. The application is directly linked to the upstream ERP system and stores the data centrally in a data warehouse with OLAP technology. Since 2018, the software has been accessed worldwide via a modern HTML5 client. This means that all end devices can be connected via an HTML5-capable browser. Responsive design, fast and secure access to all relevant information round off the usage options.

Practical benefit

The daily process flows in the cooperation with the large sales partners have become easier and faster since the introduction of antares analyzer. This is because their specific processes can now also be mapped in the application, for example special features in order processing and invoicing. In addition, the new solution fulfils the requirement for as little support as possible. Individual reports and evaluations can be created in a very short time.
