Harman Expands Data and Analytics Capabilities to Streamline Supply Chain and Improve Collaboration
Samsung brand Harman is building out its data and analytics capabilities with a view to delivering more joint solutions and streamlining business operations.
In expanding its strategic partnership with solution provider Qlik, the brand hopes to build out its ability to offer joint solutions, and ultimately deliver a more seamless, streamlined experience for its enterprise customers.
A wholly-owned Samsung subsidiary, Harman designs, manufactures, and markets a wide range of audio and connected car solutions, including infotainment, telematics, and safety and security systems. With a manufacturing ecosystem producing over 5,000 finished goods across 10+ manufacturing plants and sourced from over 2,000 suppliers, the brand has a complex and extensive supply chain network to negotiate.
The brand says its implementation of Qlik’s cloud-based, self-serve analytics enablement platform has enabled the company to access large amounts of data in near real-time, allowing cross-functional teams to react to changing market conditions and convey need-to-know information more efficiently. The Harman team also utilizes Qlik’s data integration system, blending enterprise intelligence from external resources such as SAP with internal information in order to optimize forecasting and meet changing customer demands.
Nick Parrotta, president of digital transformation solutions and CDIO at Harman expressed excitement over the potential of the partnership to provide a more data-driven experience for the enterprises it serves.
