Need to Increase Cash Flow – without Sinking a Fortune into BI? We Can Help

Business intelligence: It’s more critical now than ever. And, if you are looking to increase cash flow in your organisation, business intelligence is vital.

The challenge that many organisations face though is that BI tools can be expensive. In addition to buying a software platform, time must be spent getting everyone up to speed and often new hardware must also be installed. The result? In trying to analyse business data, many companies spend so much that they come close to offsetting any revenue increases that are found.

We offer a different kind of business intelligence tool. With it, you will be able to monitor your business in real time. You’ll be able to report on spending and income, create ad hoc reports that communicate the benefits of choosing one path over another, identify wasteful spending, and uncover options for increasing sales and profits.

What you won’t have to deal with is the expense. Our solution is offered in the software as a service (SaaS) model. The platform resides in the cloud – giving you ready access to your data whether you’re in the office or on the road. There’s no need to install servers, and our intuitive features mean that you can begin using the product with ease. Monthly subscription costs are extremely affordable, even for those on a tight budget.

When you use a business intelligence tool to analyse your company so that you can identify overspending and make smarter business decisions, you shouldn’t have to worry that your BI itself has an excessive cost. 

When you choose our solution for business intelligence, you’ll have already made one decision that will help you increase cash flow for your business – and you’ll be paving the way to create many more equally great opportunity.

Need to Increase Cash Flow? USE SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI to Streamline Planning and Budgeting

How much do you really know about your business? If you were asked to identify three ways in which you could increase cash flow for your company, would you have trouble knowing where to start? Or would you be able to rattle off five to ten options, rather than merely three?

SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI is more than just a business intelligence platform. With SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI, you will be able to focus your attention on the company’s financials, to access and dig into sales figures, to evaluate supplier relationships, and to identify potentially wasteful spending.

In addition, SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI will enable you to perform ad hoc analysis of data based on situations that you’ve considered exploring. As a result, when you are looking at company budgets, you will be able to:

  • See the full impact of the choice to work with an additional supplier or to change the ways in which you order products.
  •  
  • Look at accounts payable and the terms for each so that you can identify the benefits of paying invoices earlier or renegotiating terms with the account holders.
  •  
  • Evaluate your marketing costs and explore the impact of placing ads in different print publications.
  •  
  • Monitor the production process to see whether or not there are opportunities to reduce costs.

By using SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI while preparing your company’s budget, you will be able to see where your money is going, whether it is being spent wisely, and which improvements you could make that would improve your bottom line. Evaluating your company and making plans when you have a sense of the outcome of each decision will give you the confidence you need – and ensure that your company has cash on hand when it is needed.
