BERENDSEN

BI implemented throughout the business - and utilized as new products and services for customers

With over 50,000 customers with relatively individual pricing and services, Berendsen is the largest provider of laundry services in Europe. It requires control and oversight when products need to be picked up, washed, and delivered to the right locations.

The company has been using data warehousing and business intelligence since the late 90s but faced the need to modernize its solution. This led to a Qlik solution from Capana - resulting in significant optimizations, cost savings, and new products.

The 5 key results Berendsen has achieved through the use of Capana's BI solution are:

Operational BI solution implemented throughout the company.
Introduction of new products and optimized customer service.
Significant savings in fuel consumption through optimized scheduling and transportation.
Self-service system for end-users through a flexible and user-friendly solution.
Fast and reliable access to completely new data on a daily basis.
