Customization by Users

PivotLink reporting features can be easily customized on the fly by the people who use them, drastically reducing support requirements for IT.

Simplified Data Storage

Creating complex data structures is costly and time consuming, and can actually remove value from your data. With PivotLink Now, there is no need for extensive ETL processes, data warehousing, or data cubing. PivotLink greatly simplifies data storage and access, so when data sources change it's a matter of relinking, not rebuilding.

Fast, Easy, Flexible

PivotLink's logical data model ensures speed, flexibility, and easy access. Each data element can be accessed by the business user from an intuitive menu, and there are no limits to the data you can view through the dashboards. Performance is very high, even on large data sets, and there is no preaggregation of data

"There is a tremendous amount of data and it is important to be able to crunch that data all the way down to the item level and all the way up to class level. We never had that kind of visibility before."

"PivotLink is terrific, so flexible. People can use it in whatever way they want. A merchandising clerk may only need it to check one thing a day; the senior VP of merchandising, who does heavy analysis, might look at inventory turns, inventory levels, and gross margin return on investments; and our replenishment team uses PivotLink to track sales trends and demand so they can make better buying decisions."

"Whenever we wanted to run a report in our old system, it would take as much as six hours. With PivotLink, it takes seconds, even if I want to look at data over a five-year period."

"PivotLink has been in use for only a few months, but we have visibility into the business we never had before. It's hard to measure things like customer satisfaction, but we can now see how many shipments miss our advertised one-day shipping policy, then get to the bottom of what the problem is. Reports like this are just a matter of clicks, and every week it becomes clearer how PivotLink is helping us better serve our customers.
