It is the leading brand in Spain in online flower and plant home delivery. It belongs to the <strong>Fleurop Group<\/strong>Interflora is present in 150 countries on five continents and provides a service to more than 50,000 associated florists, more than 1,700 in Spain. Interflora delivers the order to the most suitable florist, always close to the place of delivery, and it is the florist who prepares the bouquet and delivers it to the end customer.  Approximately 30 million bouquets a year are delivered worldwide.  Their commitment to the customer is the key to their success: always delivering flowers fresh and on time.<\/p>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>INTERFLORA<\/strong><strong>\u00a0has always been at the forefront of technology, which has made it a leader in its sector.\u00a0<\/strong>Interflora was born in 1890, with the popularisation of the telegraph. The reason for the birth of this company was technology. Then came the telephone and later the Internet and e-commerce. Today it handles more than 400,000 orders a year and more than 80% of its business comes from the Internet.<br \/>\n<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20594\" src=\"https:\/\/next-step.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/interflora-ecommerce.png\" alt=\"Interflora online shop\" width=\"781\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/next-step.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/interflora-ecommerce.png 781w, https:\/\/next-step.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/interflora-ecommerce-480x302.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 781px, 100vw\" \/><\/h4>\n<p><br\/><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<h2>The problem identified: Need for a business intelligence tool<\/h2>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p>Those responsible for <strong>Interflora Spain<\/strong>\u00a0They have always argued that digital transformation is not an option, but is essential to maintain their position as market leaders. That is why, years ago, they were pioneers in implementing a business intelligence tool to analyse their business data and make the best decisions.<\/p>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p>Until 2018, Interflora did not have any business intelligence or business intelligence tools in place. <i>business Intelligence <\/i>connected to its Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP. Almost all data management and analysis was carried out using Excel spreadsheets, manually, with the potential for errors and the time cost that this entailed. Reporting to management required continuous time-consuming data collection and reporting. It was necessary to implement a BI system and automate the generation of reports to free Interflora staff from this work.<\/p>\n<p><br\/><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<h2>The Solution: Deploying Microsoft Power BI<\/h2>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16034\" src=\"https:\/\/next-step.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/CATALOG_IMAGE_20180404074934203.png\" alt=\"Advantages of Power BI\" width=\"850\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/next-step.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/CATALOG_IMAGE_20180404074934203.png 850w, https:\/\/next-step.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/CATALOG_IMAGE_20180404074934203-480x189.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 850px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p>After a process of <b>technological consultancy<\/b>In order to implement the business intelligence tool, the decision was taken to <b>Microsoft Power BI,<\/b> to manage and analyse all the information in real time. A <b>advanced dashboard <\/b>with all the relevant KPIs and scheduled the <b>automatic report generation<\/b> and the <b>daily distribution <\/b> to Interflora managers by email.  Lastly, training was provided to the staff of <b>Interflora<\/b>for the management of the tool.<\/p>\n<p><br\/><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<h2>Benefits gained by implementing Microsoft Power BI<\/h2>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the implementation of the Microsoft Power BI business intelligence tool, <strong>Interflora Spain<\/strong> has been able to have a global and real-time view of all relevant business information. Now they receive automatic reports every day via email, with a complete dashboard with the most relevant information for decision making. They have managed to dispense with the basic tools they used before for the analysis of their databases and the preparation of reports, which caused them a great loss of time and an increase in personnel costs, due to the time they had to invest in preparing the reports. <\/p>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p><strong> Gustavo Fern\u00e1ndez-Ba\u00cdllo, Director of Information Systems, Interflora Spain<\/strong>has expressed his satisfaction with the project developed at Interflora and the follow-up and work carried out by <strong>Next-Step Consultores, <\/strong> over the years: <\/p>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p><strong><i> \"Our experience with Next-Step Consultores has been and continues to be very satisfactory. In addition to their expertise in the technology and BI tools used, I would like to value the ease with which they have understood our business and their continuous value contribution. Instead of responding exclusively to what is asked of them, they always try to go one step further and try to provide that additional value, an aspect that is a differential for us\".<\/i> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><br\/><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<h2>Next-Step Consultants are Microsoft partners and Power BI experts.<\/h2>\n<p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Next-Step Consultores,<\/strong> we are a Microsoft partner and experts in the development of business intelligence projects with the technology <strong> Power BI<\/strong>.
