Balkan Services has successfully implemented new Business Intelligence (BI) software at Bultex 99. Thanks to the businessPace system, the company's management now has clear, consolidated, and visualized information about key business indicators in real time.
Bultex 99 is a Plovdiv-based company specializing in the manufacture and supply of protective and work clothing and the import and trade of protective equipment and personal protective equipment. To date, Bultex 99 has over 50,000 customers, including 15,000 corporate customers, and offers more than 100,000 items (with sizing). The company has 22 retail outlets in the country and an online store.
For an innovative company the size of Bultex 99, the use of an ERP system and spreadsheets proved insufficient to meet the business's dynamics.
In its desire to automate the analysis and reporting of sales, inventory, item movement, deliveries, and orders, Bultex 99 has trusted Balkan Services and the business analytics platform businessPace.
The Balkan Services team developed the ready-to-implement software, which is based on the Qlik Sense BI platform.
The first phase of the businessPace implementation project at Bultex 99, which takes several days, covers the company's sales.
During the project's second phase, implemented one year after the first, the Balkan Services team will enhance the platform's functionality by adding additional data sources for inventory, item movement, deliveries, and orders.
In its daily work, the Bultex 99 team uses businessPace to monitor key indicators such as sales, turnover, and profit, as well as inventory, goods movement, minimum and maximum stock levels, and financial flows, including overdue liabilities.
One of the most useful features of the BI software is related to the periodic extraction of data from the company's ERP system.
With the implementation of businessPace, the analysis process is transformed. Information reaches management much faster, shortening response times and improving internal coordination.
