Group Jansen: from data challenge to construction transformation with InsightData

Introduction

Group Jansen, a leading player in the construction sector, was struggling with the complexity of diverse business processes and outdated reporting systems. With a market that is constantly changing, there was an urgent need for real-time insight into finances, sales, projects and the supply chain. The InsightData Apps were brought in to address this challenge. The combination of various business intelligence apps — from the Sales App to the Finance, Project and Supply Chain App — has led to a streamlined data infrastructure. This enabled Group Jansen to make faster and more informed decisions, resulting in optimized processes and a stronger competitive position.

Customer profile and initial situation

Group Jansen operates in the dynamic construction sector and is known for its innovative approach and high-quality projects. Despite a strong market position, the company was struggling with fragmentary data and inefficient reporting methods. This has not been facilitated by the various acquisitions of other companies.

Previously, important insights into sales, finances, project progress and purchasing processes were spread across various systems, leading to delays in decision-making and an increased risk of errors. The challenges were clear: the need for a central, transparent and real-time data solution to switch faster and compete better.

The objectives were aimed at achieving faster decision making, cost savings and improving overall operational efficiency through an integrated business intelligence platform.

The implementation

InsightData worked closely with Group Jansen to conduct a thorough analysis of the existing processes and bottlenecks. Based on this analysis, a business intelligence solution was set up, focusing on four core apps: Sales, Finance, Project and Supply Chain. During the planning phase, a clear roadmap was drawn up that defined the priorities and expected results. During the implementation phase, the new systems were integrated with the existing IT infrastructure, including Navision, Afas and Tribe CRM, so that data from various departments was made centrally available.

The technical elaboration included configuring the InsightData Apps: real-time dashboards, automated reports and data integration via SQL and API links. Thanks to the close cooperation between InsightData's Solution Architects and Group's internal teams, coordination was continuously sought to respond quickly to feedback and further optimize the solution. This partnership and this transparent way of working ensured a smooth transition, with the new business intelligence tools up and running within a short time and having a direct impact on daily decision-making.

Results and benefits

The implementation of the business intelligence solution has led to impressive measurable results. Group Jansen is now experiencing significant time savings through the centralization of data and the ability to monitor crucial KPIs in real-time. For example, the speed of decision-making has increased significantly and operational processes have been significantly streamlined. In addition, the integrated approach has led to cost reductions and a better understanding of financial health, sales performance, project progress and purchasing processes.
