Business Reporting
If you want to craft effective business strategies, you need consistent access to accurate and up-to-date information. However, retrieving the data you need can cause workflow delays if you lack the right tools. Laundry Jeans improved the efficiency of their business intelligence processes by trading basic spreadsheet programs for Klipfolio’s real-time dashboard builder, Klips. This switch led to faster data collection, reduced human error, improved team communication, and more effective decision-making.
Introducing Laundry Jeans
Laundry Jeans is an Argentine urban style company that produces a wide collection of jeans and clothing for men and women. Since its creation in 1989, Laundry Jeans has built 12 locations across the country, evolving to become a leading brand in premium denim in the city of Rosario, Argentina.
Before they switched to Klips, the company’s reporting processes relied on spreadsheet tools. However, the team found the practice inefficient. Manually editing spreadsheets was so time-consuming, they could only squeeze periodic updates into their schedules. Information came so late that taking timely action on problems and opportunities was impossible. The team also found it difficult to share information between the different areas of the company.
Simplify reporting with powerful dashboard tools
Eventually, Laundry Jeans decided to abandon spreadsheets entirely for dedicated dashboard-building tools. They tested out multiple platforms before eventually discovering the perfect fit: Klips. The platform was reliable, easy to use, and cost-effective. It allowed them to connect their dashboards to multiple data sources and stream real-time data automatically.
“We explored a number of different dashboard vendors, initially. We landed on Klipfolio because it allowed us to connect to the largest number of data sources. It was also easy for us to filter and sort the data in the specific ways we needed to.”
Why Laundry Jeans chose Klips
Laundry Jeans chose Klips over other platforms because it was the best at accommodating its needs. The features Laundry Jeans liked included:
Automated data streaming
Real-time data access
Customization
Filtering
Powerful sharing capabilities
Great support options
Automated data streaming
Preparing reports manually left the Laundry Jeans team open to the risk of human error, which worsened the quality of their insights. Klips let them automatically stream data from their sources. It kept their numbers accurate and credible while demanding minimal effort.
Laundry Jeans could automate or schedule data refreshes as well, which updated their dashboards as the numbers on the data sources changed. It spared the team from the tedium of manually editing spreadsheets.
Real-time data access
Having real-time access to accurate and up-to-date data empowered Laundry Jeans to make decisions more quickly. Before, they had to wait for someone to update their spreadsheets and finish generating reports before working on business strategies. With Klips, all they had to do was open their dashboards, view their performance data, and take immediate action.
“Having access to our company data on the fly has changed the way we do business for the better. Getting information quickly is crucial to our success and because [Klips] connects with all our data and displays it in real-time, we’ve been able to work faster and more efficiently as a team.”
Customization
Aside from pre-built connectors, Klips also offered pre-built dashboard and visualization templates, simplifying the dashboard design process. It allowed them to plug their data directly into templates that experts have vetted as intuitive and readable. This way, users with minimal coding or design knowledge can contribute to building dashboards.
Filtering
Klips also had multiple filtering and sorting options, which helped Laundry Jeans find their data more easily. These options let them set conditions for displayed data, pick which ones to include and exclude from their data visualizations, and filter on raw or displayed data.
Powerful sharing capabilities
Reports with specific Klips and metrics can be emailed, Slacked, and accessed through a published, unique URL. This means that reports can be shared with people across the company.
Security wasn’t an issue either. Laundry Jeans worked with the Klipfolio support team to ideate a workflow that ensures every individual in the company can access only specific, unique metrics they would need to see on a regular basis.
Great support options
While Klips is already a user-friendly program, Klipfolio also offers a wide selection of support resources to make onboarding easier. These include articles, videos, answers to frequently asked questions, and a personable customer support team you can contact. Laundry Jeans reached out to the support team for guidance on using the software. They also asked them for help in executing more complex projects, such as the individual data visualization sharing options mentioned above.
“Klipfolio has a great support team. They are kind, cordial, technical, and always very helpful. Getting started was a breeze with their guidance. If you are new to [Klips], I highly recommend exploring this free resource!”

“It helps to have our [dashboards] displayed on big-screen TVs during meetings. Having the data in clear-sight keeps our numbers top of mind, and it is great to be able to refer to them on the fly.”
