I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Analytics for Microsoft Dynamics GP. Analytics for GP is a set of pre-built, Excel-based dashboards for Dynamics GP 2013, 2010 and 10. The first offering is a Starter Edition Sales dashboard with options for Excel 2013 and 2010. The goal behind Analytics for Dynamics GP is to provide an easy, inexpensive way to get started with dashboards.
Think of it this way, your first car probably wasn’t a brand new BMW, why? Because you weren’t ready for it. You were just learning to drive. You needed something simple, inexpensive and familiar to learn on. These dashboards are built the same way. Get something inexpensive, built on Excel, and learn what your company needs from business intelligence, before spending a fortune and restarting three times to get it right.
The Starter series is designed to be extremely easy to use with setup times under five minutes for most users. It includes analytics for:
● Top Customers with corresponding costs
● Top Items with corresponding costs
● Top Salespeople, Territories and Sites
● Sales over time with forward-looking projection
● Sales mix over time by item class
● A full range of data filters to control information
The Sales Starter dashboard is priced at $249 + $49 annual maintenance.
Annual maintenance includes updates, improvements and fixes throughout the year. Full instructions, screen shots and security is included. Security is managed via the Dynamics GP Excel reports security model to make it easy. Changing the name and logo to match your company is part of the setup. Licensing is per company and companies have full rights to modify the Excel files.
There will be more dashboards coming over the next several months for other modules and in more advanced forms. This is just the beginning. Visit the Analytics page and drive off in your copy of Analytics for Dynamics GP now!
