关于客户
House of Fraser is a British department store group with over 60 stores across the UK and Ireland. Founded in Glasgow in 1849, the company has grown steadily into one of the UK’s biggest retailers, with revenues of over £1.3 billion and a workforce of more than 5,000 employees. House of Fraser sells everything you need to make a house a home, from clothes to fill your closets to décor to outfit your flat. The company has relied on MicroStrategy as their system of record for enterprise reporting since 2013. The company had a large, complex reporting environment that required running more than 18,000 reports on a daily basis. By and large, they relied on simple grid reports for data analysis—fostering a corporate culture around data that can best be characterized as “retail is detail.”
挑战
House of Fraser had a large, complex reporting environment that required running more than 18,000 reports daily. The company relied heavily on simple grid reports for data analysis, which often resulted in wasted time, printing costs, and inaccurate or conflicting data. The nGenBI initiative aimed to simplify, visualize, and modernize their analytics environment to provide users with actionable insights. Prior to 2017, analytics at House of Fraser was restricted to large volumes of grid reports that were often printed and physically brought to meetings. This approach frequently resulted in wasted time and inaccurate or conflicting data. The nGenBI initiative sought to bring House of Fraser’s BI and analytics efforts into the 21st century. Their goal was to simplify their environment, make greater use of visualizations for analysis, and modernize their approach to analytics in order to provide users with actionable insight.
解决方案
In January 2017, the BI team at House of Fraser kicked off the nGenBI initiative by launching the first in a series of high-end interactive dashboards, aimed at transforming the way employees interact with and consume data. Their aim was to roll out the full functionality of the MicroStrategy platform over the course of 2017, including pixel-perfect documents, self-service data discovery, advanced analytics, mobile reporting, and MicroStrategy Office. Through nGenBI, House of Fraser has been able to vastly simplify their analytics environment, reducing the total number of reports in their repository from 19,450 to 10,000 (a reduction of 48.59%). This simplification has enabled the BI team to place their focus on higher-value reports and eliminate redundant reports that previously resulted in performance bottlenecks. The nGenBI initiative has completely changed the way that employees at House of Fraser consume and interact with data. Self-service data discovery enables House of Fraser’s advanced business users to take analytics into their own hands—quickly answering complex business questions by building on-the-fly reports and dashboards. Before the rollout of nGenBI, the BI team would spend weeks, or even months, acquiring and validating data and gathering business requirements in order to build a single dashboard. Today, they can use MicroStrategy data discovery tools to build user-friendly, interactive dashboards in as little as 20 minutes — completely changing the way that dashboards are designed, built, and used across the organization.

Case Study
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.
Case Study
Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
Case Study
Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
