挑战

Nickleby, a leading facilities management company in the UK and Ireland, faced the challenge of managing a large, distributed workforce of remote engineers, many of whom are independent contractors. The company needed to ensure high standards of service across a customer's entire property portfolio, which required detailed monitoring of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The existing Business Objects platform was not flexible enough to meet the dynamic data analysis needs of Nickleby and its customers, leading to the decision to seek a more adaptable Business Intelligence (BI) solution.

解决方案

To address the challenge of detailed KPI monitoring and dynamic data analysis, Nickleby developed an in-house software suite called Emergense. This system records every aspect of a job, from the initial alert raised by the customer site to each stage of the job's completion. Emergense allows contractors to log details of their attendance, work carried out, and materials used, which are then validated before processing. This comprehensive data collection helps Nickleby build a databank of job types, typical times, and costs, aiding customers in budgeting for repairs and managing costs effectively. In mid-2009, Nickleby decided to implement MicroStrategy as its new BI platform, replacing Business Objects. The implementation process was smooth, with initial consultancy from MicroStrategy helping to build a basic system for demonstration to customers. The rollout across the company was managed internally, with one person undergoing extensive training to maintain best practices. MicroStrategy's dynamic dashboards and drill-down capabilities provided significant competitive advantages, enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
