About Qlik Catalog

Qlik Catalog (ex Qlik Data Catalyst) is a data marketplace. It allows the company to build its own data shop and serves as a layer between disparate data sources and analytical tools. Cataloguing of data allows a company to provide operational management of business users' access to corporate data for their subsequent analysis with minimal time and resources.

At the webinar, our colleagues talked about the functionality of the system and the opportunities and advantages of working with Qlik Catalog.

The company needed a solution that would allow automating data collection by branches and ensuring timely access of employees to trustworthy, high-quality, and actionable data in days, not months. The company wanted to improving the efficiency and validity of decisions based on sales data in both branches. This solution was made by Qlik Catalog.

The company faced with the need to expand and rapid growing of its online business during the pandemic. To do this, it was necessary to quickly analyze the current and past results, build a forecast based on these data and find the optimal solution.
