Markslöjd

"Everything is in Vellox, which saves both time and frustration", says Ann Hedihn with a laugh

Markslöjd is one of the Nordics' leading suppliers of lighting and has always had high demands on design and quality.

When Markslöjd chose Vellox as an analysis and follow-up platform, it was after a quick and clear experience that Vellox understood their needs. Already after the first meeting, both Ann Hedihn and colleague Anders felt they had found the right one.

Markslöjd has its headquarters in Sweden, but operations span several markets and include both consumer and project sales. With many companies in the group and large amounts of data from the Business Central business system, Ann Hedihn, CFO, realized that a better way was needed to track sales, margins, costs and commissions.

Questions & Answers

You had alternative solutions for decision support, why did you choose Vellox?

What weighed most heavily was that we didn't need to start from scratch. Vellox already had a ready connection to our Business Central business system, which made the startup very smooth.

Vellox loaded historical data from previous business systems and countries, how has that worked?

Having a common platform for all our companies has been a major strength. We can now compare sales, margins and other key metrics between countries in a clear way.

Today Vellox is used not only by the finance department, but by everyone in the entire group?

Many people in the organization use Vellox daily. For my part, I start every morning by getting a quick overview – how are we doing against budget? Which customers have increased or decreased?

We have different applications for sales, inventory and finance, just so it's easy and quick for users to find what they need. It's really an invaluable tool in our everyday work – if it were down, there would almost be panic. We depend on being able to track our key metrics continuously, every day.

Do you have anything to add?

There's also much more to extract from the service, so we won't be unemployed going forward.
