Include Every Piece of Data You Need in a Single Report with Simple Point & Click Procedures

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the massive amount of data within your database grouped in a logical form so that you could easily create reports without having to understand data structures? And once the report is complete, wouldn’t it also be nice to be able to drill right down into the source data with just a mouse click?

Because operational data is so copious (making it difficult to report on), Synoptix empowers you with pre-defined and pre-mapped, meaningful collections of data — called Spheres — so that you can easily create the reports you need. These Spheres can be easily used to create detailed and/or business intelligence reports with simple point-and-click procedures. Because Synoptix has a direct connection to your database, there are no cumbersome OLAP cubes you have to maintain. And, unlike typical OLAP cubes, Synoptix’ Spheres are not limited as to how data can be viewed.

Easy Report Creation

Using Synoptix is easy because it takes advantage of a tool set that most users already know, that of a spreadsheet.  For instance, report formatting and formulas are accomplished using simple spreadsheet capabilities.  However, unlike a spreadsheet, Synoptix ships charged with the power of a robust report writer — uniquely combining spreadsheet simplicity with unrivaled multi-dimensional cell functionality.  Thus creating reports is a simple two-step process of point-and-click procedures in which you select a Sphere and drop in the data.  That’s it, Synoptix does the rest.

Detailed Reports

Synoptix allows its users to create various types of reports, one of which is the standard detailed level report. Used in day-to-day operations, detailed reports provide vital information for most businesses. They can provide virtually any type of information a company requires and can vary from an accounts receivable report to a labor efficiency report, and anything in between.

Creating detailed reports in Synoptix insulates the user from the complexities of having to understand data structures: no more old-fashioned joining tables and having to get the IT department involved to extract data. Because Synoptix uses the familiar spreadsheet tool set, users aren’t required to understand the header/footer schema that most report writers utilize. And because Synoptix is tightly integrated with your ERP package, you don’t need to understand complex date functions necessary in virtually every other report writer. Synoptix intuitively understands the calendars that are set up for your company.

Business Intelligence Reports

To remain competitive, businesses require reports listing key business indicators from vital areas within the company. However, just having the numbers isn’t enough because businesses also need to be able to get the details of those indicators quickly and easily. To that end, Synoptix provides complete drill down functionality right from the business intelligence reports. In addition, through its Threaded Hyper Object Technology (THOT) Synoptix is able to offer the competitive advantage of real-time data because of its direct connection to the database. No more updating intermediary tables, as you’ll have direct access to the most up-to-date data. And not only this, but THOT also empowers you with report generation speeds that far exceed most of its competitors.

Dynamic Data Analysis

Synoptix allows users safely to manipulate the criteria of any business intelligence report as the report is run. Such data manipulation can take place without changing the structure and output of the report, allowing a business to analyze data in a meaningful manner. For example, let’s say you want to create a sales report by territory. For a meaningful analysis, you probably wouldn’t want to include sales orders with the status “voided.” Accordingly, Synoptix gives you the ability to set this type of criteria as unchangeable, while allowing you to manipulate criteria such as territory or sales person.

Dashboards & Report Packets

Because business intelligence reports provide key indicators of your company’s performance, Synoptix provides full dashboard capabilities. Dashboards simply allow you to place several key summary reports on one screen so that managers can see how the company is performing in the most critical areas. You can easily create dashboards with as many reports on the screen as necessary, along with full drill down functionality from each report, whether from a graph or summary report. Also, if you need to have a group of reports that exist in a packet and run all at once, Synoptix makes it easy with simple point-and-click procedures.

Drill Down Details

Doubtless, managers will want to have access to key business indicators at their fingertips, but they also need to have quick access to the details that make up those numbers.  To complete Synoptix’ competitive advantage, every business intelligence report you create has full drill down capabilities.  Getting from a summary balance right down to the detail that makes up that balance is a mouse click away.  In fact, you can drill right down to the source of the balance.

Create the Impossible

Being one of the only report writers of its kind in the marketplace, Synoptix lets you combine financial, business intelligence and detailed data on one report.  The benefit is that you can now create any report your company requires using completely unrelated areas within the database.  To take just one example, you could combine sales trend analysis information on the same report that lists sales order details – and have full drill down functionality from your summary numbers.
