ART

Business Intelligence for Property Management

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 property management application and present it in the form of reports, charts and cross-tabulations.  For example, you might use ART to produce a bar graph showing the breakdown of rental income by year of lease expiry and then distribute that information to the owner of the portfolio. Alternatively, you might wish to chart tenant arrears by property manager and incorporate the information into a board report.

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.

Once a report has been created, it can be shared with other users and the reports can be built to prompt the user at runtime to enter specific criteria. For example, you might build a report to show details of tenants within a particular building. At runtime, the report can prompt the user to enter a building name or number and then extract the details for that particular building. All reports can be secured or shared with specific colleagues according to your needs.

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.
