Reporting and Business Intelligence

One of Futura's particular strengths is instant visibility of trading performance - instead of printed reports you can drill down to see whatever you want, on screen,

To help you access turnover, profitability and stock figures faster to make better decisions, Futura has developed "Analyzer," which takes traditional intelligence data mining one step further. The most powerful and affordable interactive reporting tool available today, it is already helping UK retailers to simplify analysis and reporting.

Customised dashboards and reports mean you can query information by branch, supplier, region, area, and see sales turnover, trend analysis, short term profit statements by product or by turnover, giving you KPI's at your fingertips. Accurate data analysis makes sure you have all the information to hand to allow you to make smarter decisions and respond, faster.

Business Intelligence tools

Futura reporting dramatically cuts management time as it shows all information such as stock turns, cover and opening / closing stock figures as bar charts, pie charts, pivot tables etc. All reports can also be easily exported to a spreadsheet, PDF document or emailed and accessed remotely from anywhere in the world.

Futura's business intelligence tools improved profit margins overall by 4% and up to 9.8% in some departments,

Analyzer mines through hundreds of millions of unaggregated records within Futura, instantaneously so profitability and performance can be tracked, then compared with established targets while peak trading and ordering times can be analysed to integrate into a data warehouse to support analysis of key trends.
