Statista Connect Success Story
See how BBE consultants now pull live, verified data directly into client work, in seconds rather than minutes with Statista Connect.

BBE has advised retail companies, consumer goods brands, the real estate sector, and municipalities for almost 75 years, primarily across German-speaking markets. They advise clients on every strategic question a retailer faces, from controlling and marketing to crisis response and succession planning.
That breadth means Dr. Johannes Berentzen, BBE's Managing Partner, and his team need reliable data across every sector, fast. For a firm staking its advice on that data, it needs to hold up the moment a client asks where it came from.
Statista Connect lets BBE's consultants access data in seconds, not minutes, and build new charts and statistics live from the platform during client conversations. That speed lets the team spend less time gathering data and more time advising.
“We can speak directly with data. We can create new data from the data available on your platform, build new charts and new statistics live from the data. That helps us be even more efficient and make even better decisions for our customers." — Dr. Johannes Berentzen, Managing Partner, BBE

"Statista and BBE are a perfect match. We combine 75 years of retail know-how from our consultants with the market-leading data platform, and something truly wonderful emerges for our customers."
