Get more detail from your data and modernise your reporting process

Custom reporting offers a fantastic way to see your data in the way that you want it. Your team can build These reports in-house (learn how to do this via our training portal), or your trusted MYOB partner can configure them for you. However, when you need to see specific information quickly, you may find that your current reporting methods may take longer than you realise.

Clarity and other traditional reporting platforms offer a way to include custom reports into your ERP system. While they need to be appropriately configured, the investment to get these reports working pays dividends over the life of your business as you get access to the data you want when you need it. However, the business world is constantly evolving, especially in the ERP space. You must be prepared to quickly update your processes to gain access to information instantly, maintain your competitive advantage, and create a lasting impact for your team.

Is traditional reporting slowing you down?

Traditional reports are static, only providing a summary of information without much detail. It is the detail that you need to dig into what is driving your operations.  Furthermore, static reports only provide the information you request. You are only getting half the story when you cannot dive deeper into your data. A partial picture can lead to a wealth of missed opportunities or incorrect conclusions.

For many organisations, it is time to move beyond traditional reporting into dynamic analytics, allowing users to select a metric and drill down into the underlying data. In this way, users are empowered to ask questions and follow their train of thought to discover the answers. With this granular insight, you can more easily determine the causal factors leading to your results and take necessary action to remedy problems or capitalise on opportunities.

While your custom report might have the data you need, it may not be in the best format to fully appreciate it. A visual medium is the best way to quickly digest complex information so that you can more easily identify patterns, gaps, and opportunities in your data. Presenting your information as a live and dynamic dashboard with drill-down capability gives everyone the power to analyse your data in whatever detail they require.

Transitioning from traditional to more modern methods will let you see the complete picture of your data and respond quickly to any changes.

Make the best use of your data to grow sales

If you are searching for a way to increase sales, your first instinct might be to hire and onboard new salespeople. However, as the economy slows and organisations are forced to do more with less, it can be wise to investigate alternative strategies to grow sales. The data found in your MYOB ERP system holds the key to unlocking the power of your sales team. But how do you leverage it in an accurate, actionable format? Watch the recording to learn more.
