TRANSCRIPT
Accurate View of All Business Activities through a
Unique Retail Report System
Retail & Consumer Goods | Delhaize Group
Through a distinct go-to-market strategy, Delhaize Group has acquired a leading position in food
retailing across multiple key markets. The Group’s strength is supported by the close cooperation of its
operating companies at regional and global levels.
Delhaize Group’s operating company in Romania, Mega Image, is an expanding company which aims to
become clients’ first choice for fresh foods.
As a result of its expansion, Mega Image faced specific issues regarding their stock management,
accounting and personnel activities. All these aspects have determined company management to make
the decision of implementing a Business Intelligence solution.
The Business Context
Mega Image ensured the achievement of its business goals,
through a solution that offers complete business
transparency and efficiency.
From the initial delay of several weeks or even
months between the data entry into the
documents and their processing within the
information systems, the entire process now
only takes a few days.
The solution has a positive impact on the
tracking of the internal document flow for
stocks and sales, as well as on the calculation of
turnover and balance for different operations.
Through the use of the new solution the
required information is attained in the desired
format while also allowing:
• Fast access to structured and exact
information
• Effective processing of large volumes of data
• A high level of transparency of all activities at
a company level, both processes and
documents

Big Data & Business Intelligence Case Study
The solution offered by iQuest met the need
for structured and exact information existing
at the management level.
An important phase of introducing the new
system was the development of a unique data
centralisation and aggregation warehouse,
which lead to the reduction of the time
needed to attain information for the
management regarding the company’s base
sectors: stocks, sales and financial.
The reconciliation of data from all the systems,
revealed in time potential errors originating
from the data sources, ensuring greater
information accuracy. The Business
Intelligence solution solved the management’s
specific requirements, by reducing the
processing of manual data, through the
automatisation of centralised decisional
reports.
