Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence from your ERP system
The Adept Reporting Tool (ART) provides a simple, yet powerful,
solution to your business intelligence needs. Using ART, you can
quickly extract information from your Adept ERP application and
present it in the form of reports, charts and cross-tabulations.
Information can be output in a wide range of formats, including
directly to spreadsheets. For example, you might use ART to extract
sales by product for a specific sales area and then generate an
Excel spreadsheet for further analysis in an Excel Pivot Table.
Alternatively, you might use ART to identify high stock levels of
obsolete stock by warehouse and then discuss with your branch
managers strategies to clear the obsolete stock.
Ease of Use
ART's user interface is aligned with the principle of 'what you
see is what you get' and will allow you to create your own reports
and queries, in real-time, on any data stored in the application.
Data can be selected using drag and drop and filtered through a
wide range of filter operators.
Creating a report is a simple four step process - first, choose
what type of report you want; second, select what fields you would
like displayed on the report; third, choose what type of data you
would like displayed on the report; and lastly, pick the format you
would like for the report. Reports can be simple queries,
cross-tabulations or charts (bar, column, line, area, pie and
point). You can create reports that drill down from a summary level
to a detailed level, and you can select multiple output types
including Excel, Word or PDF.
Report scheduling and automatic
distribution
ART provides an integrated report scheduler. The scheduler
allows you to specify the frequency at which a report should be run
(daily, weekly, monthly) and the time at which it should execute.
Information can then be automatically distributed by email allowing
you, for example, to deliver reports to sales staff or management
for viewing on a smart device.
Highlights include:
- drill-down reports
- ability to email reports to smart devices
- multiple output types including Excel, Word and PDF
- facility to schedule reports for specific date and time
- formula editor to create and maintain additional calculated
fields
- ease of use and exception reporting
