BI

Description of the project

The project was implemented in one of the leading company departments – ‘Risk and Reporting’. Before the creation of a BI application, the reports took a lot of time and resources, as they were detailed, contained many key indicators and were prepared for different periods. After the implementation of Qlik Sense, the process for drawing up references became automated.

After a successful demo presentation, the implementation of the system started with analysis and business interviews with the team of the Debt Collection Agency, which resulted in the overall vision and strategy for the creation of the BI project. The company gathered a team of highly qualified specialists who actively assisted the Balkan Services consultants, in order to successfully implement the application.

A connection was made with the Agency’s core system. Then a long transformation process of data and algorithms for calculating key indicators followed.

A tool for inputting and calculating key indicators was created, which allowed to change the existing ones or to create new ones. An optimized data model was created which created the possibility to carry out a quick comparison across different time scenarios and sections.

10 dashboards with visualizations were prepared, which were intended for the different departments, as well as for analysis of the whole business performance. 

With the BI application users can view: the collection process – from the initial contact to the factual result; implementation of objectives; the efficiency and effectiveness of certain activities; historical analyses; a global picture of the business.

During the implementation, 5 specialized training for working with the platform at different stages of the project.
