Youngor is a large apparel conglomerate with multiple sub-brands and a footprint that spans an official e-commerce store and hundreds of physical outlets. Each city assigns a sales manager to oversee locations. Daily operations require these managers to obtain sales data—both regional and headquarters-level—by product category to plan targeted promotions. They must also monitor store-level inventory in real time to manage replenishment and stock transfers. To meet these needs, the company sought a user-friendly, flexible tool for real-time data retrieval.

Haier is a major home-appliance manufacturer selling through its own online channels and large brick-and-mortar retailers. Frequent promotions—both online and in-store—span differing product lines. The data team’s most time-consuming task is compiling daily revenue, inventory, and target-completion statistics for promotional items, then exporting the results to Excel for the finance and warehouse departments. Haier urgently required a solution that supports flexible queries and large-volume exports.

With Quick BI’s Ad-hoc Analysis module, both Youngor and Haier now execute flexible, real-time queries and analysis seamlessly within their operational workflows. The resulting data can be exported directly to Excel for further manipulation or shared with stakeholders outside the system, vastly improving efficiency and decision-making speed.
