5 key outcomes of the Qlik Sense modernization

  • Reports prepared within hours instead of several days
  • A unified KPI model across Energija Plus and HSE Group
  • Fast analysis of 150,000 metering points and over 10 million data rows daily
  • Integration of old and new SAP systems with centralized data access
  • Greater user engagement, improved time planning, and quicker decisions

Energija Plus d. o. o. is a Slovenian energy supplier based in Maribor. As a member of the HSE Group, it provides electricity, natural gas, and modern energy solutions to both households and businesses across Slovenia. With a strong focus on sustainability, reliability, and efficient energy use, the company continues to adapt to evolving market demands.

As Energija Plus expanded its operations, outdated analytics tools slowed decision-making. By modernizing Qlik Sense alongside an SAP S/4HANA migration, the company created a faster, unified reporting environment—empowering smarter decisions across the business.

Why modernize Qlik Sense?

The energy market has undergone rapid transformation in recent years. Energija Plus redefined its customer segments and shifted its analytical focus to profit and cost centers, as well as to comparisons between planned and historical data.

The existing analytical environment could no longer support these evolving requirements, and the concurrent migration to SAP S/4HANA presented an ideal opportunity to modernize the BI landscape.

“When your requirements are clear, you expect to get the data with minimal extra effort. The time should go into taking action.”

Alojz Stana, Deputy Director

The objective was clear: unify all KPIs, ensure consistent reporting, and enable faster decision-making at every organizational level.

How was the modernization carried out?

The Qlik Sense modernization project ran in parallel with the SAP migration, requiring close coordination between teams. Management clearly defined the role of each system:

  • Statutory reporting remains in SAP.
  • Operational and management reporting is handled in Qlik, where data can be processed faster.

Together with BE-terna, Energija Plus began by analyzing the current environment, gathering user requirements, and defining the application scope.

“You have to know what you want. The advantage was that we were upgrading Qlik and SAP, not starting from scratch.”

Alojz Stana, Deputy Director

Despite the complexity of the project, collaboration remained smooth and responsive, built on mutual trust and a strong sense of partnership.

“When challenges arose, both teams responded with energy and clear solutions—keeping the project on track.”

Alojz Stana, Deputy Director

Improvements that make a real difference

1. Faster report preparation

Monthly reports that once took several days are now completed within hours. Daily KPI updates give managers timely and reliable insights for quicker action.

2. A unified data model

Data from both legacy and current SAP systems is now integrated into a consistent analytics model, enabling:

  • Plan vs. actual comparisons 
  • Faster detection of deviations 
  • Group-level reporting across the HSE Group

3. Advanced metering data analysis

A new application enables analysis of 150,000 metering points and more than 10 million daily data rows—within minutes.

“Previously this took several days, now it only takes a few hours. We prepare the data much faster.”

Joško Politeo, Business Analyst

4. Users as co-creators

Energija Plus actively involves users in testing, data preparation, and solution development—boosting adoption and improving data quality.

“The best information system is the one people actually use.”

Alan Perc, Director

5. A positive impact on work culture

Managers now create reports faster, more reliably, and with less effort—enhancing team efficiency and overall workplace satisfaction.

A partner with energy sector expertise

Energija Plus highlights BE-terna’s deep understanding of the energy sector as a key success factor. This industry-specific expertise enabled faster requirements gathering and ensured high-quality outcomes.

“A big advantage was having someone on our side who understands our business and our expectations. Without that, the project would have been much more difficult.” 

Alan Perc, Director

Operational communication was clear, priorities were well defined, and the project moved forward smoothly thanks to close collaboration.

Leadership ambitions: a unified morning dashboard

Management aims to implement a consolidated morning overview that includes: 

  • Financials 
  • Sales performance 
  • Deviations from plans 
  • Year-over-year comparisons 
  • Key KPIs

“When I open Qlik in the morning, I want to immediately see where we stand and react if needed.” 

Alojz Stana, Deputy Director

“Management cannot function well without these insights at hand.” 

Alan Perc, Director

Looking Ahead: Strengthening the Future of Analytics

Looking forward, Energija Plus and BE-terna will continue strengthening the analytical foundation built during this modernization. The next steps include expanding the data model with additional sources such as CRM, enhancing user competencies further, and supporting the broader rollout within the HSE Group. After the implementation of the solution within the HSE Group, the number of metering points will double, and consequently also the volume of processed data. Both teams remain focused on continuous improvement to ensure the solution evolves in line with future business needs and market dynamics.

By modernizing its Qlik Sense environment alongside the SAP S/4HANA upgrade, Energija Plus has achieved unified analytics, faster reporting, and quicker, more confident decision-making—enhancing business performance at every level.
