QlikSense is a game changer
We use QlikSense as a way to summarise data from multiple databases into a dashboard that is easy to use. Prior to the implementation of QlikSense, staff would be constantly asked to generate reports, now we create dashboards, and send the end-user to the dashboards. This has drastically increased the productivity of staff and end-users.

Qlik is used to visualize supply chain data, provide KPI's and improve data literacy throughout our company. As a supply chain management company Qlik has enabled us to break away from "tribal knowledge" that is typically siloed by client and provide a holistic view of our our supply chain. Now, when our buyers, expediters and conformers need to make a purchasing decision or follow up with an order they have a wealth of knowledge and experience at their finger tips. The universal search functionality enables users to find a source, extract data and contact suppliers with a few clicks!

Great with large, messy data
Initially, Qlik Sense was used in a few departments (the more tech-savvy and quantitative) to help us improve access to our data and help drive evidence-based decision making. We have lots of scattered amounts of data, in lots of types, so Qlik Sense/Qlikview's ability to flexibly connect lots of different types of data was essential.

Game changer for organizing sales data, identifying metrics, insights, and arriving at actionable outcomes
Primarily used as a sales dashboard across multiple departments. We use it for generating reports, identifying trends, and determining forecasts for the upcoming season. It's also used to view customer accounts from a holistic perspective and view real-time figures that we would otherwise need to pull manually for multiple sources.
Additionally, it provides a user-friendly view of our inventory and production schedules.

I like it
As a local government organization, we use Qlik Sense to serve public-facing dashboards and data reports to residents and service users. We're also transitioning from Qlik View to Qlik Sense for internal reporting in several service areas. We maintain a range of interactive reports to allow service managers to understand their data, and also use Qlik Sense as an ad hoc analysis tool within our Business Intelligence function.
Qlik Sense is used as the primary business intelligence hub to enable managers to analyse information about the performance of many aspects of the business. It is being used across the whole organisation. It has replaced static SRSS reports which were delivered on a timed basis directly to departments which resulted in a myriad of reports being virtually the same with very small variations in how the data was presented. We can use a unified view for those reports now and train the users to move around within the presented data using Qlik in the way it is designed.
The main business problems it addresses are analytic views on performance by department for various aspects of the business, which previously static reporting could be potentially misleading or would disallow further analysing within the available data meaning decisions were often not as considered as managers might like.

Qlik Sense is used by the school district to collect, analyze, and display vital student and employee data to our central office administration and school administration (e.g., principals). Qlik Sense was purchased to provide an intuitive way to give our employees the data they need to make important strategic decisions about schools and student subgroups. It is used in multiple ways throughout or organization, but one of our priorities is for principals to use the data to develop specific action plans.

Qlik Sense Newcomer but already a Fan
As an organization, we have been QlikView users for over 10 years. With the Qlik development efforts moving towards supporting Qlik Sense, we decided to add Qlik Sense as a dual license. We had QlikView as a great foundation and created a meaningful data lake for multi-department use. Our approach to Qlik Sense was to tailor each application to targeted department KPIs, needs, and goals. For example, we have a pick management application designed to track warehouse performance and capacity. These metrics and reports are utilized throughout the day by warehouse and operations staff.
Our retail team has a different application that is tailored to their KPIs. It pulls from the retail POS system and supplements information from our ERP. We built out several more applications based on department requirements. Qlik Sense is a great solution for our reporting needs.

Qlik Sense Review
The whole organization is using Qlik Sense. We are covering main business needs e.g. sales, margin, operating costs, results. All of the above we are analyzing in many dimensions and from different perspectives. We can compare YTY data with budget or LY numbers. We can go with data from a very wide view to very drilled down--to the personal result of the employee.
