CHALLENGE

Delivering flexibility and adaptability

Every business needs working, productive assets. And for a commercial airline operating on tight margins and even tighter schedules, lost time is expensive. B&H Worldwide specializes in time-critical logistics for the aviation industry. Its mission is to supply the components that keep aircraft flying.

The flexibility and quick responses that set B&H apart from its competitors were, however, being held back by a complex set of platforms used by the business. It wanted daily, accurate information instead of being weeks behind the curve.

APPROACH

Early use cases deliver key insights

B&H needed a solution that would acquire, consolidate, process and present data quickly and accurately from a range of global sources in multiple formats and file types. London-based Qlik Partner, Data Technology, introduced B&H to Qlik Sense, which met all its requirements and more.

Even very early use cases delivered key insights and highlighted areas where B&H could improve its operation. As the applications grew, B&H began to extend Qlik’s analytics and presentation capabilities and started migrating to Qlik Cloud Analytics to improve customer access.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

A foundation for further growth

Access to quick, accurate and reliable data allows businesses to monitor their performance and make key decisions quickly without having to worry about data reliability. Smart businesses also share the benefits, giving customers access to real-time information and critical insights that provide value to both.

For B&H, the next steps involve incorporating generative AI into its model and using it to build out its offering further. With Qlik acting as a powerful foundation for this initiative, it’s an exciting future.
