CHALLENGE
Making data meaningful
Penske Transportation Solutions’ journey with data is both diverse and comprehensive. Since 2014, Penske has worked toward fully optimizing its large volumes of disparate fleet data, not only to support the needs of its associates but to ultimately enhance the overall experience for customers.
APPROACH
Processing big data at scale
Penske created a Data and Analytics Governance Council to develop a common understanding of data and its potential to transform operations. It selected Qlik as the platform to support the new council’s work and provide the tools to meet its objectives.
Equally important to Penske’s approach was pulling data together from a complex range of sources and formats, including operational, IoT and external systems, to make it available where and when needed. To achieve this, Penske turned to both Qlik Replicate® and Talend Real-Time Big Data.
RESULTS
Data, Penske’s most valuable asset
Qlik data integration and analytics products now allow Penske to capture, analyze and extract high-value information from multiple systems and hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Penske now has dashboards across the business, in almost every department at Penske Transportation Solutions as well as the Penske Logistics entity.
Qlik also powers Fleet Insight, Penske’s portal that allows customers to interact with the business and build a stronger understanding of how they are running their operations, and a growing range of innovative and valuable AI solutions.
