关于客户
Blokker is a prominent Dutch retailer specializing in household items and toys, operating through 340 stores across the Netherlands. The company has a significant presence in the retail market and aims to stay competitive by leveraging data-driven strategies. Blokker's IT infrastructure includes a central data warehouse that consolidates transactional data from various applications. The company has a dedicated analytics department focused on providing business intelligence to multiple internal departments, including Category Management, Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Business Operations. Blokker's commitment to data-driven decision-making is evident in its efforts to implement advanced analytics tools and redefine key performance indicators (KPIs) for better accuracy and consistency across the organization.
挑战
Blokker, a leading Dutch retailer with 340 stores, faced an increasingly competitive landscape and aimed to become a data-driven organization. The company needed to move beyond basic BI tools to gain better visibility across the business and drive profitability. They migrated all transactional data into a central data warehouse but required a robust data reporting and analytics tool to sit on top of it. The legacy QlikView solution was limited to sales data and other tools added complexity without providing a centralized view of margin and stock data. A new analytics department was set up to access a single source of data for BI across various internal departments. The goal was to centralize data, visualize it, and make it available to different business units for daily, weekly, and even hourly reports to analyze store traffic and determine staff levels.
解决方案
Blokker considered Microsoft’s Power BI platform but ultimately chose Pyramid for its faster and more cost-effective integration features. Pyramid was implemented and integrated with all structured data in the data warehouse and operational databases. This enabled the analytics team to surface data into multiple business units, including Category Management, Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Business Operations. Pyramid facilitates self-service access to data sets for individual modeling while maintaining control to avoid BI sprawl. The implementation allowed the analytics team to redefine KPIs, ensuring consistency and accuracy across the business. Critical KPIs, such as reported revenue and product availability, are now much more accurate. The centralized data and sophisticated analytics provided by Pyramid have empowered Blokker to optimize its supply chain, pinpoint fraud, and track various metrics such as assortment optimization, supplier performance, planning of opening hours, product returns, and omnichannel reporting.

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.
