Business intelligence tools are used by SMEtric to analyse and present business data in visual formats that are easy to read and more easily enable businesses to turn their data into intelligent action. The latest Business Intelligence tools are much more affordable than the current tools available to corporates, opening up opportunities for medium sized businesses to be transformed with the opportunities uncovered and the ability to make better and more rapid decisions backed by data.
We use a data extraction tool to enable us to connect to your data sources or analytical platforms and extract real time data. No sources are out of limits and the possibilities for visualisation and distribution of your insights are endless.
Here are a few examples of how our interactive dashboard reports can use your data to provide insights into your business. Check out the dashboards and drill down to see what’s possible!
Digital Marketing Analytics
Digital marketers work with a number of data sources that are not connected such as Google Analytics, Google Adwords, Facebook, email and sales data. Creating reports is a challenge – downloading, cleaning and joining data sets from the various sources before even getting to the reporting.
In this example, we have tied together all the disconnected sources and presented them in one place, in an attractive and easy to use interface for our client. These reports can be tailored, easily shared with clients and . Marketing performance can now be monitored seamlessly, refreshed daily and it’s all in one place!
Wholesale Distribution Example
An import distribution company wanted better reporting over their current systems. Putting a business intelligence solution on top of their exiting systems enabled them to better exploit the value of the data buried in these systems. It also got it into one place.
The interactive report provides insight highlighting key customers, what they purchase, what products are the most profitable, and interactions the sales team have with key customers. This has lead to a deeper level of insight into market trends, providing a much more reliable foundation on which to forecast future demand and to analyse which products and which customers bring the best margins.
Warehouse and Logistics
Get insights from non-financial data too. In this example we have created a unique solution to track service levels, health and safety, network flows and inventory profiles.
Use the filters to drill down to get insights into delivery performance by warehouse, destination city and by customer. Look at health and safety issues – the severity and where they are occurring. You can also view the flow of deliveries from the warehouses to customers.
Franchise Benchmarking
Benchmarking against other franchisees will reveal where franchisees are under performing when compared to the norm. They are then able to target assistance to help them to become more efficient, and ultimately, more profitable..
They can harness the creativity and insights that make the top performers outperform the rest. Then retrain everyone else to reach this level too. This benefits both the franchisor and the franchisee.
