Integrations
Flex.bi specialty is friendly and automated Standard ERP integration, but as well you can build multi-source reports with data from other systems you can connect using Rest API, SQL and other connectors. Excel integration allows you to add budgets, targets and other important info stored outside any other system, to see the whole picture of progress. Also, one report can contain values from mixed Modules of Hansaworld.
Example: To measure a success of latest marketing campaign, you can compare Sales Ledger from Standard ERP, Google analytics data and salesman activity from your Asterisk call central. If you would like to see Stock numbers by route and compare them with Logistics system data and issues created in JIRA issue tracking software, that is also possible.

 | “ Flex.bi is is the best BI tool if not the only to perfectly have your data from Hansaworld SERP in one view. When you understand how to use it the possibilities is unlimited. The drill down functionality is wonderful. With the different type of charts it makes reporting and planning easy. I started to use Flex.bi in 2014 with only 5 registers from Hansaworld that was supported. Today Flex.bi supports all the major Registers within HansaWorld SERP which shows that their team is committed to provide a proper Business Intelligence tool for HansaWorld SERP users. I just signed to use Private.bi” Norman Mouton, Group Management Information Systems Manager, http://www.deepcatch.com.na , Namibia |
