Mail & Deploy provides exactly what we need: reliable, automated reporting with a high degree of flexibility. Especially in a volatile energy market, it is crucial to have access to up-to-date and reliable figures at all times. Mail & Deploy ensures that the right information reaches the right people at the right time.
The problem
Roth Energie supplies heating oil, fuels, electricity, gas and renewable energy with around 500 employees. The war in Ukraine, record gas and electricity prices, supply uncertainty and rising regulation turned the market volatile. Price changes, credit limits, open orders and procurement decisions have to be monitored continuously - and manual analyses and isolated Excel reports were no longer enough to keep management informed.
Why Mail & Deploy
- A trusted collaboration with the implementation partner.
- A better price-performance ratio than alternatives such as Qlik NPrinting.
- Flexible report design with standardised formats.
- Seamless integration into the existing Qlik environment.
What changed
- Around 20 automated reports cover master data, credit limits, open orders, order forms and price lists.
- Manual workload in IT and controlling has gone down.
- Reporting processes are standardised and consistent.
- Decisions are made faster and on current figures.
