Organizations are filled with data: General Ledger, billing, inventory, customer management, payroll, 3rd party systems, and much more. As a business manager, gathering all of this data and making it useful can be a challenge. In order for the data to be useable it needs to be accurate and timely, and must be condensed, compiled, and formatted properly.
Simonson Consulting assists in determining what your analysis and reporting requirements are, then mines the appropriate data and dynamically connects to it in order to perform any of the following objectives:
FLASH Reporting
A FLASH report is a daily 1 or 2 page output which displays all of your most important business metrics. As an example, all of the following could be included in your daily distributed output and generated directly to your e-mail each morning:
• MTD & YTD Sales vs. Budget
• Open Sales Orders by ship month
• Orders taken this week and month
• Top 10 customers/products
• Accounts Receivable exposure (credit limit and aging flags)
• Projections and trends
• Other Key Metrics Important to Your Business
Profitability Analysis
As accountants, one of Simonson Consulting's specialty areas is building reporting modules to define "Profit per x". What is your profitability by Customer? By Product? By Product by Customer?
Our philosophy is to build actionable reporting output. You will benefit from analyzing the right data, and from getting data quickly and dynamically, as it happens.
Drillable Dashboard System
In combination with all of the above functionality, a complete Dashboard System can be built to provide all desired metrics, broken out by functional area, with user-defined interaction, and drill-downs to actual transactional data.
Our applications are generally built using Microsoft development tools, and sometimes in conjunction with SQL Server. In most cases, we build these utilities with software and tools that you already own within your organization. Our development approach is extremely cost effective, scalable, and customizable to accommodate changing business requirements and growth.
AdHoc Financial Analysis
The solutions defined above are utilities that are created for automation and for repeatable reporting output. AdHoc data analysis requires ability to have immediate access to key data. Our data mining service is offered to find the data needed and distribute it into a format that is useable for further manipulation and analysis.
An example of this is building a data cube from your accounting system that populates a hierarchical pivot table in Microsoft Excel™. Our staff would build the output and train the users to be able to immediately slice and dice data for any analysis required.
