Use Case
Management reporting helps leaders see what’s driving the business, including key performance indicators (KPI) like profit and loss by class, department, job or team. In some organizations the reports are required because they offer executives insight into the far corners of the business and help them make strategic decisions.
Efficiency Gains
Implement a fully integrated process for corporate financial data models in a code-free, fast and agile way
Top-Line Growth
Greatly reduce the amount of time you spend collecting and preparing data for execs
Risk Reduction
Accelerate the decision-making process for upper management
Business Problem
Unless they receive high-level reports updated regularly, execs can miss insights for growing the business or preventing costly mistakes. But it’s not always easy to consolidate and harmonize data from different business segments and locations. Moreover, business leaders should be able to see how KPIs are calculated so they can understand the associated risks and make informed decisions.
