Business Intelligence

In order to ensure on-time production and therefore the basis for corporate success in manufacturing companies, it is crucial to be informed at all times about the influencing factors in production and their changes. The analysis of key figures such as lead times, backlogs, flow rates, degree of processing and bottlenecks enables targeted production controlling and therefore a smooth production process.

In addition, automated reporting creates the basis for efficient shop floor management and reduces the workload involved in combining and processing all key figures.

Banks, payment service providers and insurance companies need to have a continuous overview of all transaction flows and data in order to manage risk controls and to meet changing compliance requirements.

The Business Intelligence solution from INFORM works seamlessly with RiskShield through targeted data visualization and provides financial service providers with in-depth insights into transaction flows, fraud cases and customer portfolios.

Meaningful dashboards and cross-channel reporting provide a user-friendly and intuitive overview of all the data as well as detailed analysis options for evaluating statistics, identifying trends and reacting quickly to changes in context.

Only with an understanding of the complex interrelationships in supply chain management can you make good decisions. To achieve this, it is necessary to always keep an eye on stocks and the effects of planning in scheduling and purchasing on the entire supply chain.

Contribution margins, issue values, stock quantities, demand forecasts, delivery readiness or stock values are helpful key figures for achieving this goal. But beyond the analysis of key figures, simulations also create more security in the planning process. Fact-based "what if" analyses make the consequences of planning decisions visible. This leads to improved planning along the entire internal supply chain.

You learn the most from experience - this also applies to the aviation sector. Collected and processed data series from the areas of planning, scheduling and operations facilitate operational and above all strategic decision-making processes. Automated reporting provides the ideal basis for this. The visualization of historical data series into meaningful dashboards makes it possible to identify trends and make forecasts.

Dedicated business intelligence software tools facilitate the monitoring of all key performance indicators (KPI). On the basis of the recorded data series, processes can be optimized reliably and over a long period of time. The permanent feedback results in a continuous improvement process.

Diesel and data are the most important power sources in building materials logistics. And just like in racing, electronic fuel makes a decisive contribution to increasing competitiveness - both in strategic and tactical planning and in real-time optimization. Without data-driven planning and dispatching of asphalt, concrete, cement and bulk material deliveries, cost and service levels quickly get out of control.

Capturing and evaluating real-time data is the ultimate test for any BI system. As on the race track, large amounts of telemetry data are generated in daily fleet operation.

Further similiarities between racing and building material transports can be found here.

In internal logistics, transparent processes are crucial to coordinate all transports in a targeted manner. Data-based logistics controlling helps to analyze the internal transports and develop profitable action measures.  

Key figures for employee deployment planning and transport tracking as well as delay and material flow analyses are important indicators for analyzing and controlling the efficiency of internal plant traffic. This constant availability of all key figures makes it possible to trace at any time which material was transported when and by which means of transport. In addition, this data can be used to quickly determine the annual cost savings resulting from the use of an intelligent transport control system. 

The complexity of vehicle logistics is increasing. To meet this challenge, many automotive manufacturers, suppliers and logistics companies in the automotive industry rely on intelligent optimization software for their logistics processes.

Business intelligence supports the users of these systems in verifying the quality of the input values for optimization and therefore improving them. In addition, the results of the optimization can be visualized quickly and clearly and become intuitively understandable for the user. For example, geographical maps can be used to visualize network flows or to establish a geographical reference for important information such as vehicle sales figures or transport costs.
