The result
More insight gained
Chugoku has gained more insight into slow-moving and dead stock. They can now see in good time when paint is past its expiration date, letting them act sooner.
Better inventory management
Thanks to the new dashboard, Chugoku can now more easily see which stock is past its expiration date and which isn't, making it easier to come up with the right actions.
Data easily available
Chugoku can quickly find and view all its data and, when needed, easily run analyses on it. The possibilities are endless.
Chugoku Marine Paints spots new sales opportunities by smartly combining data in Qlik Sense
In 2017, Chugoku Marine Paints started looking for a suitable business intelligence (BI) tool after finding that its current situation was becoming unworkable. They now have a number of dashboards in Qlik Sense that they're very happy with. The dashboards are used daily and have become indispensable to Chugoku's day-to-day processes.
“In the past, paint that was past its expiration date was always re-inspected. Thanks to the insights from the stock dashboard, that's no longer necessary, we only re-inspect when a customer specifically asks for a product. If a product is past its date and there's no more demand for it, it stays in stock for resale or disposal.”
