ReportBotz

Automagic reporting automation

Ok, it’s not really magical though it feels that way. What if your consolidated management reports just appeared and were ready for use? Imagine that information consolidated from multiple disparate systems was waiting for you as you started your day, enabling you to analyze and make decisions without having to gather and prepare it.

Your teams spend too much time running reports, refreshing tables, manipulating Excel and using copy-and-paste into PowerPoint. People-based consolidated reporting is not scalable, so the only way to get more insights is to add staff.

In contrast, ReportBotz+ is a best-in-class automation tool that generates consolidated management reports consistently and quickly, ensuring the reliable, consistent and auditable outputs.

  • Data sourcing and extraction gathers information from systems, both internal and external, generating reports or reading off the screen
  • Insight generation and packaging manipulates the collected information, performing calculations and validations, adding tags, populating Excel, PowerPoint and more
  • Information delivery of outputs to authorized people, whether a full view or a personalized view based upon the recipient.

ReportBotz+ reporting automation software gives time back for analysis, speeds decision-making, and enables new reporting packages for valuable insights not presently available.
