Rotobrush International Implements Intuitive™ ERP, Executive Dashboard Solution
Reporting Dashboard Powered by QlikView Delivers Unprecedented Visibility into Sales, Bookings, Shipments and Revenue Recognition
Indianapolis, IN (April 29, 2009) –
Consona Corporation (Consona), a worldwide leader in providing customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and services for companies of all sizes, today announced that Rotobrush International, a leader in providing businesses and entrepreneurs with unique opportunities in integrated indoor air quality and energy efficiency services and products, recently added the Intuitive Executive Dashboard based on QlikView, the award-winning business intelligence software from QlikTech. The addition of the Intuitive Executive Dashboard followed the company’s recent implementation of Intuitive, a Consona ERP solution, used to integrate previously disparate business systems and more accurately track customers throughout the sales cycle.
“Being able to look at the system and get immediate numbers is very valuable to us,” said David Raucher, CIO of Rotobrush. “We can get information without having to run a report or check the sales manager’s white board. It’s a place where we can go to see new sales and what’s been shipped out. Same goes for our sales team–a report on the dashboard tells us where each rep is in the process.”
The reporting dashboard was based on QlikView to enable faster and more informed decisions by delivering business answers to users, on screen, without having to wait around for reports. With QlikView, Rotobrush now has instant access to visually rich, interactive dashboards that take just minutes to learn and can be easily modified.
Prior to the dashboard implementation, Rotobrush was unable to track the lifecycle of a customer from marketing lead through paying customer. QlikView tied together data from different parts of the ERP application to give a complete picture of the sales cycle. This gave Rotobrush new insight into how effective their sales process was at any point in the cycle.
“In my role as CIO, I have found Consona to be an outstanding business partner. Not only that, but the software is excellent, the programmers are top-notch, and tech support is solid. These factors instill a great deal of confidence in us as we embark on this project,” said Raucher. “I firmly believe that when you choose a major technology solution like Intuitive ERP, you are buying into a process, not just a product. The vendor and customer must work together as long-term partners for that software to be successful, and Consona has proven to be a perfect choice for Rotobrush.”
Rotobrush selected the Intuitive ERP solution in order to meet its immediate technology goals to improve internal systems through integration and customization, granting access to important business information and gaining flexibility. Throughout this initiative, Consona will act as a partner with Rotobrush to enable its long-term strategy to sustain and diversify business as improved efficiency and customer satisfaction translate into increased sales and a more diverse customer base. Since choosing Intuitive ERP, Rotobrush has gone live with the solution on all systems, and is beginning to enjoy greater employee efficiency, decreased paperwork, more accurate ordering, and the inclusion of previously disparate segments in the holistic business view, thanks to several customized aspects of the installation.
“We’re pleased Rotobrush has implemented Intuitive ERP as its all-around business solution, and we’re committed to the company’s goal of building a solid foundation for the business to grow and diversify,” said Scott Malia, general manager of Consona ERP. “Now that their Intuitive ERP installation has gone live, we’re looking forward to continually fine-tuning the solution as Rotobrush’s chosen technology partner.”
