Running a good business requires a good strategy and a good strategy relies on good intelligence. When you’re selling hundreds of thousands of products to time-sensitive customers, the quality of your intelligence can be a life-or-death issue.
Here’s why Business Intelligence is so powerful:
- It’s integrated within the Enterprise 6.0 suite, so you can be confident in the quality of information.
- It’s designed for distribution excellence so, from the beginning, you get the key performance indicators you need.
- It’s easy to analyze the data in your own way and create your own reports.
- It uses some pretty impressive charting and formatting technologies so you can really see what your business is doing.
Fast, reliable information
Reports provided by Business Intelligence include:
- Top 100 products
- Lead conversion rates
- Stock movement
- ABC reporting
- Order accuracy
- Invoiced amount per invoicing date
- Top 50 customers
- Top key accounts
- Analysis of customer segments
And any other information you can think of.
A pre-configured solution from wholesale distribution experts
IBS Business Intelligence delivers a pre-defined data warehouse. It starts generating reports in a week while a custom solution often takes months.
But, because we bring together distribution, industry and local expertise, our standard solution achieves an average 80% fit with procurement specifications. That figure is impossible to achieve for software vendors who lack our knowledge.
And it’s scaleable, so it will grow with you as you develop from a single warehouse to a multi-company, global enterprise.
