Automate reporting and eliminate delays and backlogs

How long does it take to get a new Dynamics report created? Do you rely on a single individual or team and therefore experience backlogs? Zap Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics puts the power to create reports in the hands of your business users so that anyone can create what they need at any time. The solution goes well beyond the usual list and aggregate reports to include management reporting, which is usually done by multiple teams using multiple offline tools. Zap Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics provides a single, online platform for management reporting where you can create a report structure and have it automatically refreshed on open. Then all you need to do each reporting period is update the explanation and create a PDF. Teams can collaborate easily, even when they’re geographically distributed.

Remove any reliance on technical staff to create and modify reports

Are you reliant on technical staff every single time you need to modify or create a report? Do you outsource reports and end up paying a fortune over time? When Dynamics customers add up how much they spend getting reports written, it often becomes apparent that it would be more cost effective to have a user-friendly reporting solution – and one that can take them well beyond just reporting into full performance management. Zap Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics users never touch code or rely on developers to create analytics.

Free up staff to spend more time analyzing results and providing strategic advice

Creating manual reports is a routine job that adds little value. Sometimes it’s easy to get stuck in a reporting rut. As one Microsoft Dynamics CRM customer explained: “We had been using static forecasting reports and reporting in the same way from the same perspective for a long time. But with Zap Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics, I immediately came across problems that I didn’t know existed. A single report in Zap Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics exposed holes in the way I had been analyzing sales, in particular that some longer term forecasts were inflated by redundant data.”

Zap Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics removes the chore of time-consuming, manual reporting, and frees your staff to undertake analysis that will actually impact business performance. You want to know your most profitable products, customers, and sales regions, so you know where to focus? You want to know the worst performing inventory items so you can trim your product lines? Ask the right questions and you can continually fine tune your business and get ahead of the competition.

	“End-of-month reporting would typically be a 3-5 day process, but with Zap, now we complete the same reporting in a single day. Zap Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics is a fantastic solution that has enabled us to increase the accuracy and speed of reporting.”

Improve the accuracy, timeliness and consistency of reports

If a report contains mistakes or is late, it can be dangerous for your business. If reporting is inconsistent across departments, geographies and companies, it’s often ineffective. Zap Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics lets you take full control of reporting to ensure it’s reliable, on time, and consistent.

Reliability comes from ensuring that all reporting is done in a central location, always pulling the latest data, and providing the right tools so that staff stop using unsecured spreadsheets. Reliability can also be achieved by providing a foundation of your very own, company specific calculations that can be used across any report, meaning that staff don’t have to try and create them from scratch.

Timeliness comes from making sure reporting is easy and fast. It’s also about giving users a choice about what information they receive. Users can schedule reports so that information is automatically and proactively pushed to users. And users can subscribe to reports so they can ensure they have the right information.
