Requirements
Platform for budget planning: The more business divisions an organization has, the more numerous are its data sources and formats. For Soprod, the top priority was a new BI tool that would extract and normalize data for high-quality analyses and optimize decision-making and business performance.
BI solution to analyze the company‘s productivity: To optimize its decisions, Soprod needed a powerful financial planning tool. However, before implementing such a tool, the company was to create a budget plan and improve the group’s data quality. This was due to the data redundancy produced by the numerous business divisions and missing critical key figures. For some data, regular updates were not viable, which made decisions complicated and burdened the Finance Department.
Reporting platform to create and update elements Soprod also intended to benefit from a perfect visualization of corporate data and its processing in real-time.
Record-Breaking Implementation in just two Weeks
The certified Jedox partner Linalis and a BI power user from Soprod managed to complete the project in just two weeks. In view of the data volume, the integration of manual and predominantly Excel documents in a standardized and automated system, and the complexity of the ETL processes, this is a huge success.
“It was a fascinating and challenging project to cope with this huge data volume and set up a standardized and automated data integration. Thanks to Jedox technology, Soprod can analyze its data within fractions of a second.”

What–if Scenarios for Productivity Analysis
Thanks to the extraction tool Jedox Integrator, Soprod now runs a high-quality analysis and reporting solution that extracts and cleans data and loads it into the system. By implementing Jedox Integrator and a MOLAP database, Soprod may now focus entirely on the analysis of high-quality real-time data, on actual– budget comparisons, and on the optimization of its financial management. Jedox not only enables Soprod to add and update elements during the analysis but also makes users see the critical success factors, the KPIs and company’s activities, in real-time. Thanks to the write-back feature of the Jedox platform, teams may create What–if scenarios in the cockpit for a more intuitive analysis.
