Enterprise Reporting
eBMS has
developed some very flexible and intuitive solutions and
applications that allow managers to understand the tens of thousands of transactions that often represent there
business. There are many parameters that help to provide good
reporting tool.
These are some of the important requirements that should be met by any enterprise reporting tool:
- The validity and representation of the data should be accepted across the organisation
- The visual interface should be stimulating - eBMS uses graphing to aid understanding
- The control interface should be intuitive - with a minimal training requirement
- it should prompt the need to ask questions about the trends.
- The question posed could be answered by drilling further into eBMS.
- It should be based on your systems data - the reporting data can be verified
- Re-populating the reports from the system should be automatic
- The solution should require minimal computer understanding
- The report should not require any maintenance - selectors should be populated from the data automatically
- Employment should be quick and cost effective
eBMS has developed reporting tools for many different requirements:
- Sales segmentation analysis - by region, warehouse, customer, time
- Company DIFOT (Delivered in full on time) Performance Analysis
- Slow moving stock
- Machine Performance Analysis - trending, down time, efficiency, volume weighted speed etc
- Waste Analysis
- Transaction Time process reporting
- Sales and Operations Forecasting reporting
- Discount Analysis reporting
Dyanamic Charting
eBMS describes dynamic charting as the ability to change the view of a chart by simply changing a selector or control in that chart. The objective is to provide a common user interface that provides many, sometimes thousands of ways of viewing the underlying data set. This is a very powerful and friendly way of reviewing and analysing complicated data sets.
Some examples that eBMS have developed are:
- A clickable bar chart. When a series is double clicked a dialog box opens with information allowing the user to perform an action.
- A histogram that includes an indication of standard deviations and acceptable tolerances.
- A Speedo that indicates the current value of a parameter within a selectable range. The Speedo is coloured to indicate degrees of status. A Pareto chart that changes depending on the time frame selected. An area chart that changes the sales data breakdown from regions to warehouse to sales channel at the simple push of a selection button
- A time series chart that allows you to view daily, weekly and monthly at the simple push of a selection button
- A bar chart that allows you to drill from state, to customer group to customer, to product group to product with the change of a drop down selector.
- A line chart that allows you to see actual levels and then percentage of the total at a push of a button.
- A chart that provides a combination of all the above.
Excel has a very powerful presentation layer supported by a very flexible graphing object. eBMS has provided many dynamic graphing solutions to many customers that could not achieve any where near the same standard with some of the most sophisticated (and very expensive) business reporting tools.
eBMS has genuinely had comments such as AWESOME, POWERFUL, INCREDIBLY INTUITIVE to describe its dynamic graphing solutions and applications.
