Today, business moves at a phenomenal pace, with decisions needing to be made on the spur of the moment, often requiring the consideration of large sums of money, inventory, personnel, and other important aspects of business.
Business Intelligence is the key to making the right decisions.
While you can often relatively accurately anticipate your inventory numbers, estimate your revenue, foresee the needs of your employees, and assess the state of your company without hard numbers, this isn’t how you should be running your business on a regular basis. Knowing these numbers as fact rather than forecast will go a long way to ensuring your success.
You also need to have a way to track your inventory, understand your purchasing trends, balance your payroll, and know what percentage of your revenue is going back into things like rent, utilities, and employee salaries. How are the departments working together? How is the use of this year’s budget comparing to the use of last year’s budget?
So how do you make sure you know these things as fact and not forecast?

advanced, and premium – of Sage 100 ERP and has everything you need to determine the true health of your company on a daily basis.
