With 100 sales people across many global locations, keeping everyone up-to-date with current information was proving difficult for Innovia Films. Ensuring access to information was vital so that sales teams knew the breakdown of figures by sales representative and by region. However, with many working remotely and out on the road, having the information only available within the company firewall made it exclusive to certain people.

Working with Cognos Partner, Simpson Associates, Innovia Films subsequently rolled out a Cognos reporting solution across all areas of the business very smoothly. It is now being used as the main sales data source within the company.

Innovia Films now has a far higher focus on information. It is easily accessible at all levels and correct, so executives are more likely to use it and business success is far more transparent. The executive team can answer their own questions about progress and performance through having this information at their fingertips. This means all staff can concentrate on doing their own jobs to the best of their ability.
