BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

INTELLIGENCE COMPANION®

Intelligence Companion® is a user-friendly business intelligence (BI) application that provides a graphical visualization of any relevant data such as key performance indicators (KPIs), in an easy-to-read graphical dashboard. This managerial tool provides higher levels of visibility and control over field activities, allowing for a faster response to fluctuations in areas such as sales, customer relations, credits, returns, performance assessment, merchandising and much more. Undesirable trends can be detected quickly so that corrective actions can be taken instantly.

This application is user-defined, so every user can create a dashboard, displaying user-relevant indicators in the preferred graphical format. Users can visualize data from high-level processes and then drill down into low-level data. Intelligence Companion® allows you to easily evaluate opportunities, measure performance and execute actions that will maximize efficiency and revenue. This application interfaces with our DIRECT STORE DELIVERY (DSD), SALES FORCE AUTOMATION (SFA) and FIELD SERVICE software applications.
