Smarter Capacity Planning with Qlik & Data+: From Data to Decisions

How much capacity is really available — and where are the bottlenecks hiding?For many companies, the answer isn’t straightforward. Data is often scattered across HR systems, ERP solutions, or spreadsheets. The result: a lack of transparency and time-consuming coordination.

At the same time, additional needs that don’t exist in the ERP system can be entered directly into Qlik. No more copy-pasting Excel sheets, no more version chaos — just plan, adjust, and continue working smoothly.
