Qlik® QLIK, a leader in visual analytics, today announced that Eternit-Werke Ludwig Hatschek AG, a leading Austrian manufacturer of roof and façade coverings, has selected QlikView® to drive increased visibility into its sales performance and supply chain data with help from Qlik Elite Solution Partner, Data GmbH.

QlikView provides a visually appealing, user-friendly business intelligence (BI) solution that gives Eternit the transparency, consistency, and effective information they need across their various management levels and divisions. The QlikView solution complements their SAP® ERP system with a comprehensive BI solution that allows users to map data of different product groups into a single platform while ensuring scalability and speed.
