All logistics data at a glance
The addHelix BI Starter Pack
You know how it is: data on shipments, costs and transport is scattered across different systems, has to be compiled into Excel spreadsheets, and is often only available when a particular person happens to have the time. This not only wastes valuable time, but also makes it unnecessarily difficult to make informed decisions.
The addHelix BI Starter Pack contains everything you need to get started with data-driven management of your logistics: a BI platform, ready-to-use dashboards and personalised support from our team of experts.
BI Cloud licence for Qlik Sense or Power BI included
You will receive a cloud licence for Qlik Sense or Microsoft Power BI – two well-established platforms for data analysis and reporting. This allows you to access your key performance indicators from anywhere, without the need for your own infrastructure.
Ready-to-use logistics dashboards
Instead of starting from scratch, you get a tried-and-tested logistics dashboard – developed in collaboration with logistics experts to track the most important KPIs: from transport costs and shipment overviews to on-time delivery rates and contribution margins.
One person-day of support per year included
Would you like to customise a dashboard, create a new report, or do you have a question?

FAQs about the BI Starter Pack
We’ve been using Excel so far – isn’t that enough?
Excel is a good place to start, but as the volume of data grows, it quickly becomes prone to errors and time-consuming. Figures have to be gathered manually, analyses often depend on individual people, and errors in formulas or when copying data can easily go unnoticed. A BI dashboard automatically extracts data from your systems, updates it continuously and presents it visually – without the need for manual consolidation.
Which logistics KPIs are displayed in the dashboard – and do I have to define them myself?
The dashboard already includes the key performance indicators for the logistics sector: shipment overview and delivery status, on-time delivery rate, transport costs per unit and route, vehicle utilisation and route data, contribution margins and cost types, scan rates, and a geographical analysis by region. All KPIs were developed in collaboration with logistics professionals based on real-world use cases. You don’t need to spend time defining metrics or setting up reporting systems; you can start analysing data from day one.
How quickly can I get started with the BI Starter Pack?
As the dashboards are already fully configured, you can usually get started within a few days – depending on how your data sources are connected. There is no need for lengthy project timelines or complex setups.
Do I need my own IT skills or an IT department?
No. The BI Starter Package runs as a cloud-based solution via Qlik or Microsoft Power BI. You do not need your own infrastructure or specialist IT staff. The user interfaces of both platforms are designed so that even employees without technical knowledge can use and understand the analyses.
Can I expand or customise the dashboard later?
Yes. The BI Starter Package has been specifically designed as an entry-level solution. As your needs grow – for example, to integrate further data sources or generate additional reports – the package can be expanded at any time. As part of the addHelix platform, it can also be combined with other web services.
Which data sources can I connect to?
Both Qlik and Microsoft Power BI support a wide range of data sources – from ERP systems and databases to CSV exports and cloud applications. We would be happy to advise you on how to integrate your existing systems.
How much does the BI Starter Pack cost?
The addHelix BI Starter Pack is available from € 499 per month Available.
