A Retail Analytics Platform Without Limits
Optimized for retail analytics, the PivotLink 5 Platform is the first solution to combine the capabilities of self-service, scalability and agility for the retail business user. Filling the gap left by existing solutions, the PivotLink 5 Platform couples a flexible architecture with a SaaS deployment model to deliver complete solutions for retail analytics challenges in weeks, resulting in superior ROI.
Retail-Centric Technology
The PivotLink 5 Platform is designed from the ground up to address retail analytics use cases. On the fly metrics, history restatement, and real time reporting facets are all part of PivotLink 5’s basic architecture, not add-ons to a general purpose business intelligence platform. For example, no longer is the data model locked to the data structure – instead, the data model is first defined by the metric you need, with a determination of where the data comes from to feed that metric as a second step. Pre-defined relationships are a thing of the past as cubes and star schemas are no longer necessary – the legacy relational hierarchy approach is too limiting. Instead, our logical model provides the flexibility to join data as needed to drive to your key metric. The net result: business users get the answers they need quickly, with unparalleled flexibility.
Support for Mobile
PivotLink 5 includes native support for PivotLink dashboards on popular mobile devices. Share your analysis with colleagues anywhere, anytime.
Enhanced Visualizations
With PivotLink 5, explore your business performance in multiple ways: tables, charts, graphs, or maps – choose the best way to explore.
