BENGALURU: Hitachi Omika Works, a Social Innovation Company responsible for information and control systems for public infrastructure and industrial fields, has adopted Qlik analytics with additional services to streamline its supply chain operations. The move comes as the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for risk analysis and the visualization of information across the entire supply chain.
Qlik analytics has enabled Hitachi Omika Works to analyze and draw insights from data, enabling better risk analysis while eliminating ambiguity for faster decision-making across its organization.

This has empowered the teams to speed up and streamline operations and take more specific actions when required, including broadening the scope of data utilization and aiming to conduct dynamic data analysis in the future through data mining and text mining.
