The Challenge
Every brand asked a different question of the same data
Analysts stuck in a manual export, Excel, and pivot table loop
Analysis work scaled linearly with headcount, not automation
Peak-season volume doubles, creating a hard reporting ceiling
The only alternative to automation was hiring
The Solution
How IPC Global Built the Governed Data Layer Behind Jay Group's AI Deployment
Source System Integration
Consolidated payroll, finance, warehouse, and order data
Standardized QVD Layer
Unified disconnected source systems into one governed platform
Modeled Dimensions and Measures
Turned raw tables into trusted business logic
Qlik as the Universal Connector
Gave AI access to systems with no native connector
Inherited Governance
Existing Qlik permissions carry into the AI access path
Ongoing Qlik Platform Partnership
Continued app development, capacity management, and AI enablement support so adoption does not stall
Results & Impact
Analysts Moved From Assembly to Analysis
Instead of building reports and handing off anomalies, analysts now investigate root cause, and customers get faster issue identification without running the analysis themselves.
Four FTE Hires Avoided
The existing team absorbed peak-season workload at higher output
60% Adoption Among Licensed Users
At the practical ceiling of the addressable office-staff population.
400% User Growth in 90 Days
From 5 users at launch to 25, with no program office and no formal implementation plan.
