RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

QlikTech, QLIK a leader in Business Discovery – user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), today announced it has been named a leading business intelligence provider in Consumer Goods Technology magazine (CGT) 2012 Readers' Choice Survey for the third consecutive year. The annual CGT Readers' Choice Survey recognizes the companies that CGT readers identify as the most valued solutions and services providers in the consumer goods industry. QlikView's powerful information analysis tool has been deployed to hundreds of consumer products companies across the globe – from the largest manufacturers to the most specialized producers of apparel, food and beverage, and home and personal care products – including ADO International, Ahlers AG, BBS Food, Blyth, EAT, Carlsberg, Connacht Gold, Estrella, Fila Europe, Gatorade de Mexico, Grotto, IAWS, Illes Seasonings & Flavors, Lifetime Brands, National Frozen Foods, and Pergo.

Consumer products companies are continuously seeking efficient ways to navigate the increasingly complex global supply and distribution networks as they require close collaboration among product developers, marketers, suppliers and retailers to gain real time visibility into business conditions. QlikView's Business Discovery platform helps consumer goods companies gain valuable insights from information and analysis to improve their core performance – from revenue forecasts and sales productivity, to inventory performance and demand-driven production schedules. Additionally, QlikView gives companies the ability to reduce operational costs from analyses of material use and stocking levels, purchasing and production options, and supplier performance.

For the 12th year in a row, CGT asked its subscriber base to identify their most valued and used solution and service providers across multiple categories. Executives from consumer goods companies were asked to identify the solution provider they currently use within each category and rate their customer experience. The rating is based on the readers' experience implementing and using the software and the value the solution brought to their business.

“Successful global consumer products companies must be able to collate and analyze huge amounts of information in order to solve problems and share knowledge throughout their organizations,” said Rebecca Braverman, Senior Director Global Market Development – Consumer Products, Retail & Distribution at QlikTech. “Using QlikView, hundreds of consumer products companies are quickly and affordably gaining real-time visibility into retail conditions, supply and distribution networks, and internal processes – providing the agility needed to capitalize on today's rapidly evolving business environment. Being recognized by Consumer Goods Technology Magazine for the third year in a row is a clear testament to the results QlikView continues to deliver across the consumer goods market.”
