To help your employees make fully-informed decisions, Sage ERP X3 provides relevant and up-to-date information through several decision-making tools. The Sage ERP X3 user portal enables each user to create a personalised management chart for real-time tracking of the indicators most pertinent to his/her task. General or detailed information appears in the form of graphs, tables or organised in a calendar, with links making it possible to follow the entire security audit trail up to the information details. Based on an indicator in the management chart or any inquiry screen, users can go back, through successive zooms, to detailed information or support items, which explain a given result. Research that used to require several hours, and sometimes the involvement of several people, is now accessible in a few clicks.

Drag-and-drop business intelligence for users

Sage ERP X3 also integrates a powerful business intelligence tool (optional), adding flexibility to your analysis. Powered by Business Objects™ technology, it provides end users with insight through self-serve information access, data exploration and interactivity. Users can ask spontaneous and interactive business questions of your company’s data. The standard Sage ERP X3 business intelligence universe offers a comprehensive set of business analysis dimensions that can be easily adapted and/or enriched to fit your specific needs.
