HOW WE HELPED UCC COFFEE UNIFY ITS DATA AND REPORTING
UCC Coffee was founded in Japan 90 years ago. In Europe, they have five factories that roast, package, and deliver coffee to supermarkets, coffee shops, and hotels. They have a huge amount of valuable data to manage from their production activities, supply chain, and customer service. As the UCC Group has grown, much of their data has been stored and managed in different systems. They decided to leave these legacy systems behind to ensure a unified approach to data and reporting.
“With TimeXtender it is much easier to maintain and make changes than when using integration services.”
Ramon Villanueva, Head of Organisation and Information Systems

How we helped a not-for-profit mental health and wellbeing organisation
Our client provides mental health services and wanted to proactively provide their customers with regular updates on their usage. This would help to demonstrate the value of their services and the better health outcomes they contributed to. However, they were struggling to find a solution that would enable them to share dashboards and PDF reports by email, without having to purchase individual customer licenses.
“The Climber team has always been very nice and accommodating. When they say they are going to deliver something they do deliver.”

Connecting data to transform defence reporting
Catalyze are a management consultancy that helps organisations to make effective decisions to achieve their strategic goals. Their defence client had recognised the power of the raw data they held in their systems and wanted to use it to make more informed and evidence-based decisions. However, the data was sitting in disparate systems which led to siloed reporting and disconnected understanding. Read how Climber BI supported Catalyze to improve reporting for their defence client.
“This was a new way of working for Catalyze but the results have proved themselves. We have done the right thing for the client by ensuring they have the skills they need to keep moving forward with their reporting.”
Claire Spencer, Managing Consultant
Enabling the retention of vital historical data in Power BI
Our client had been developing and manufacturing a wide range of products for the defence and aerospace industry for decades, and in some cases they were still manufacturing equipment that had been designed over 40 years ago. This meant they needed to retain Bills of Materials (BOM) data for many years, which became a problem when they had to migrate to a new ERP system.
“Climber’s developer gave us the reporting in a format that is simple to use: it’s easy to do searches and export the data to Excel. lt’s exactly what we wanted.”
