Success Stories

In 2023 a group of  waste disposal/recycling companies looked for a way to expand their reporting capabilities. Different options where evaluated and after settling for Power BI as their new reporting tool, they decided to also build a datawarehouse. The subsidiaries (<15) where almost all using the same ERP and accounting systems, all based on MS SQL databases. IT resources where scarce and it was clear from the beginning, that the main developer would be the Head of Controlling of the group. The main other option that was considerd was the use of open source software. That would mainly save on the licensing cost but would also give full transparency on the tool. On the other hand it would be hard to get "vendor" support for the productive systems. It was also questioned how future prove an open source solution would be, and how easy and quick one could get a fix if potential security problem arose in the code.Two main advantages of TimeXTender made the difference i

As a consultant at E-mergo, I was tasked with advising GGD Drenthe on their data warehousing strategy. The GGD (Municipal Health Services) is a public health service who was facing challenges in managing and analyzing a growing volume of data from various sources. Their existing solution, heavily reliant on Qlik Sense, lacked the flexibility and scalability required for future growth.I recommended implementing TimeXtender as a robust and efficient data warehousing solution. This would allow them to:Centralize Data: Consolidate data from diverse sources into a single, unified repository. Improve Data Quality: Implement robust data quality checks and data cleansing processes. Enhance Data Accessibility: Make data readily available to various applications and users. Accelerate Data Analysis: Streamline data integration and transformation processes.I provided gu

In 2022, Waternet, a large water organization in the Netherlands, sought a new way to manage their data warehouse and phase out DDM Studio. Their goal was to improve the speed of building data models, connecting to their sources, and maintaining ease of use while keeping costs low. They also wanted a solution that was future-proof, with the capability to migrate to SaaS after rebuilding the old data warehouse.Already using the Azure data platform, they needed tools compatible with this platform. Wortell Smart, together with Waternet, concluded that TimeXtender was the best option for their needs.Since implementing TimeXtender at Waternet, we have achieved significant results:Trained 12 people in TimeXtender, enabling everyone to take over each other’s work instead of only three people building everything on the ETL side. Maintained their data platform with more ease. Experienced fewer scheduling issues. Delivered new request

Air Atlanta, Icelandic, is one of the largest ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance) service providers in the world with almost 20 planes and 1400 employees. They offer tailor-made solutions to other carriers, both in the passenger and cargo industry.The ChallengeLike others in this industry, Air Atlanta must ensure that the aircraft is fully utilized and every extra hour of AOG (aircraft on the ground) is expensive. Sigrún Inga Kristinsdóttir, Administrator of Trax MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) system, explains:“When we remove parts from aircraft and send them for repair, too often they would be registered incorrectly in our systems. When the serviceable part was needed again, we wouldn’t know its status, causing unnecessary delays and costs. The key
