Sales Reporting

Today, companies are finding it difficult to understand the array of factors that drive their products' gross margins. The presence of global product portfolios with varying accounting standards makes the process of generating accurate gross margin data extremely difficult. The fact that this information is spread across multiple isolated systems makes the process even more time consuming and challenging. Companies with diverse supply chains, vendors, products, and information systems find it hard to identify the true cost of a particular product. Furthermore it is vital to continuously measure a firm's sales performance against the plan/forecast. Identifying the root causes for variances from the plan/forecast consumes significant time and resources of sales executives.

Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) are useful for planning and executing transactions, but these systems may not be optimal for in-depth reporting and analysis activities needed to identify opportunities to improve gross margins, to identify poorly performing product lines, regions or business units, to understand revenue drivers, to gain insight into customer buying trends, or to monitor on-going performance.

Dashboard Analytics

Sales and gross margin analysis reports display revenue trends, costs of goods sold, and average selling price data across multiple dimensions and compare performance against the plan/forecast. Users can view profitability of regions, products, and customers etc. to find top performing areas and at risk products. Scorecards display total YTD sales as well as percentage of sales for regions, sales teams and products. Sales reports show performance among sales regions down to individual sales people.  

BI for Sage 200

When we talk to our Sage 200 customers we find a number of common characteristics, as follows:

  • Spreadsheet Proliferation
  • Deadline pressures
  • Data is not interactive, it's not ‘Live’
  • Error and Mistake Prone

Traditionally companies have resorted to looking up data in Sage, then using standard reports they extract data and use Excel to derive results, then email the results to their colleagues and other decision makers.
