Bibold
Unleashing the Power of Data

The information age is upon us, and data is the fuel driving organisations towards business excellence through informed decisions. Today, companies irrespective of their industry cannot deny the significance of data-driven insights in enhancing process efficiency and workforce productivity, which ultimately leads to better profit margins. This holds true, especially as organisations are increasingly embarking on the digital transformation journey in the last few years, marking a tremendous growth in their data troves. Hence, any organisation—small or large—needs to dive deeper into their data streams to extract actionable intelligence in real-time and reap the benefits of big data and artificial intelligence. This is what the Spain based company Bibold set out to achieve with its integrated business intelligence (BI), mobility, and cloud solutions that allow organisations to make data-driven decisions in real-time. “We offer a complete range of professional BI services to organisations, allowing them to perceive needs earlier, decide in a smarter way, and execute solutions and strategies faster,” says Ricard Gonzalez, CIO at Bibold.

The company does not take a one-size-fits-all approach; rather, it offers a customised solution based on organisations’ specific requirements. Once the organisations’ needs are established, Bibold offers its corporate BI mobile apps with management and operational intelligence solutions. These solutions serve three key business requirements—as a source of information and strategic agility, a basis for decision-making and execution, and an engine for process automation and resource improvement.

Bibold’s BI solutions not only allow the senior management in organisations to make strategic business decisions but also enable marketing and sales teams to predict trends, detect patterns, automate alerts, improve reports, visualise behaviours and streamline information flows, execute changes in real-time, and perform several other functions. “In order to succeed, organisations need to create a data ecosystem, which is able to provide all the different teams with the ability to open new and previously unknown transformative opportunities,” states Gonzalez.

Notably, Bibold, with its cloud solution, manages the entire value chain of organisations from advanced visualisations, dashboards, transactions in mobility or descriptive analytics in self-service mode, to more advanced topics such as dynamic On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), and predictive and prescriptive analysis. More importantly, the company offers its services on a convenient payment per user, using its proprietary methodology, DoITNow that allows organisations to leverage big data and AI-based solutions without burning a hole in their pocket.

Bibold boasts a long list of satisfied clientele across multiple sectors and sizes, from large scale organisations to SMEs. An example is the success story of Balearia, which is a leading shipping line for passenger and freight transport on Balearic Islands crossings, while also linking Ceuta, Melilla and the Canaries to the Spanish mainland. Bibold provided the transport company with a real-time automated fleet and crew management solution, which optimised their crew management, including shipments, trips, employees, and others. This enabled Balearia to avoid crew subcontracting and save costs.

Although a startup, Bibold has established strategic partnerships with Telefonica and Microstrategy due to its innovative solutions. The company gives utmost emphasis on innovation, which has fueled its consistent growth since its inception. With its learnings, the company has started Bibold Academy initiative where it collaborates with business schools to train their students to become data managers and help companies exploit the full power of Big Data and AI. Bibold is now eyeing to enhance its DMaaS backbone with new streaming technologies for real-time data on its technology front. Further, with the proliferation of IoT technology, the company is working to integrate IoT tools with AI to improve all processes of data and business applications with vertical solutions for each sector.

Riding on its success in Spain, the company plans to expand to Latin America in the coming years. “Our mission is to help companies make their data profitable by turning it into knowledge and decision, and we continue to innovate our offerings to achieve that goal,” concludes Gonzalez.
