Business reporting and analysis is facilitated by intuitive, analytical reporting tools that allow you to utilise information such as Sales History, Inventory, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Open Orders, in order to engage in proactive decision making. Comprehensive functionality allows you to perform sophisticated analyses quickly and easily to improve decision making, summarise data, identify trends, and make forecasts.
You can set the parameters of each report within Prophet 21, including grouping, views, and detail. With Prophet 21's as-of reporting, there is no reason to print and file the reports you run, and you can view past reports at any time according to whatever date parameters you chose. Data can be exported to any Windows-based data-access tools - such as Excel or Access - to streamline data sharing.
Regardless of the complexity of your specific business process, reporting and analysis within Prophet 21 is remarkably simple to manage. Prophet 21's SQL Serve database stores the data in a user-friendly format, unlike other programs that store information in abbreviated fields that make it difficult to find and use data. And because Prophet 21 was built using Windows technology, you can use most Windows-based off-the-shelf reporting and analysis tools including Excel and Access, reporting software such as Crystal Reports, or Activant's executive information system - Knowledge Management Center.
Activant's Knowledge Management Center is an executive information data warehouse solution that quickly summarises sales, inventory, accounts receivables, accounts payables, and open orders and allows you to set alerts whenever an activity falls outside a range you predetermine. Knowledge Management Center provides you with a snapshot of your business, anytime, anywhere, via the Web. Information defined through Knowledge Management Center is pulled from your Activant solution and displayed in an attractive, intuitive front end. Information can be saved to your desktop for further analysis or shared with co-workers via e-mail.
Crystal Reports lets you generate presentation-quality reports using your Prophet 21 data. Crystal Reports show documents onscreen, as they will appear when printed.
