Background & core challenges
Modern BI to accelerate usage
Richardson, a reference player in distribution
A specialist in heating, plumbing and renewable energy distribution, Richardson wanted to modernize its information system to support its growth. The legacy BI platform no longer performed well at load peaks, and the company wanted to open up data access to a much larger number of users.

Degraded performance at load peaks

Governance not sufficiently under control

A robust, scalable, secure data architecture to put in place

Open up data access to far more users than before

Our approach
A data platform in SaaS mode
Richardson put a SaaS data platform in place: storage on Snowflake, data integration with Qlik Talend and delivery with Qlik Cloud Analytics.

Choosing the solution
Choosing Qlik Cloud Analytics
Already a Qlik Sense user, Richardson wanted to keep the associative engine and a familiar navigation logic, which made change management easier.

Cloud migration
Every application migrated in under 5 months
Migrating every QlikView and Qlik Sense application to Qlik Cloud Analytics, optimizing the data models and modernizing the interfaces.

Change management
Supporting user adoption
KPC, a Qlik partner, led the migration and translated business needs into features, driving strong adoption with few custom adaptations.
