Reporting, Analytics, Dashboards, Budgeting , and BI Solutions Built for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management
Your Reporting, Analytics, and Planning Efforts Are Hampered by Poor Access to Data
Creating Timely D365 Financial Reports Requires IT
With so many time-critical processes, finance teams need the ability to create and run financial and operational reports, fast. Unfortunately, out-of-the-box D365 reporting tools are slow, inflexible, and technical. Power BI, while great for summary visualizations, wasn’t designed for transactional reporting. This leaves you dependent on IT or external technical consultants to create your reports, which takes time and money, and means you are not in control of the process.
Combining Multiple Data Sources is Hard
When you need to bring together data from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management (D365F&SC) and other sources (e.g., to combine historic data from Microsoft Dynamics AX or to blend data from a third-party system) to create a single source of truth for reporting, this becomes a time-consuming, complex, and expensive process that leaves you dependent on a handful of key resources.
Planning and Forecasting Processes are Too Manual
When your team has to juggle a mass of spreadsheets for budgeting, planning, and forecasting tools, you’re spending too much time on slow, error-prone, manual processes. By sending out hundreds of budget templates, waiting days to collect the right figures, chasing people who haven’t responded, before manually consolidating their input into a master spreadsheet, you’ve spent too much time on manual work, leaving too little time for value-adding activities.
