Introduction to Intelligent Reporting in ERP Software

Intelligent reporting is a business report based on data, analysis, and visualization, helping enterprises make effective decisions in managing their business operations. Intelligent reporting not only provides information about the current state of the business but also offers forecasts, recommendations, and necessary actions to improve business outcomes.

Introduction to Intelligent Reporting in ERP Software

Intelligent Reporting offers several benefits to businesses, including:

To illustrate how intelligent reporting assists businesses in making effective decisions in managing their operations, let's consider an example of an online retail company.

This company aims to increase its sales during the Tet holiday season. To achieve this, the company utilized intelligent reporting to analyze data on customer shopping behavior, such as:

  • - Which products are most and least purchased, and why?

  • - What are the demographics, needs, and preferences of the customers?

  • - Through which channels and at what times do customers make purchases, and at what price points?

  • - What are the customers' opinions on the company's product quality and services?

Based on this data, the company made the following decisions:

  • - Focusing on high-potential products, such as intelligent phones, tablets, laptops, and TVs.
  • - Segmenting customers based on criteria like age, gender, income, and geography, and creating tailored promotions for each group.
  • - Strengthening online advertising and promotions through channels like the website, Facebook, email, and SMS.
