What is Qlik Sense?

A great tool for business analytics
Qlik Sense is used across the organization and addresses a wide range of business problems. Its main advantage is that it can process a large amount of data efficiently, which we were not able to do with our other systems. Also, we were able to combine data sources from different areas and create a simple dashboard for the support of our management.

Qlik Sense for Quick Insights!
Currently, Qlik Sense is being used across the Finance function but the intention is for Sales/Marketing and the Supply Chain function also to have access as we roll out projects relating to those areas. Many of the business problems we are trying to resolve are around having one source of data and a one-stop-shop to access that data.

Good Experience - Can get even better if we our POCs workout with Qlik Sense intelligent predictive analytics!
We're using this internally in a department for the below two reasons:
- Integrate the tool with Qlik Sense Documents and with Power BI to make the reports generated out of those two platforms to be available on the cloud for the teams for anywhere easy access.
- Onboarded Qlik Sense to generate reports from our sales team and compare how we are faring w.r.t our quarterly and monthly goals.

It addresses issues with systems where reporting is limited or the need to combine different sources of data into one view. We use it primarily to analyse manufacturing and sales data, to analyse trends.
