With the Reporting Studio, Corporate Planning offers a dedicated component for management reports, presentations and dynamic dashboards. The solution is thus aimed at controlling teams that want to pass figures to managers in a recurring, comparable form. The focus is on the design and use of reports within corporate management. For a selection project, a comparison using your own report package is therefore worthwhile: Which views are needed, who maintains them and which data are already available? Within its ERP landscape, Proalpha offers several routes to analysis: a management information system for regular reports, business cockpits for specialist areas and the Analyzer for more advanced questions. Purchasing, materials management, production, sales and finance each receive suitable KPI views. For companies with Proalpha, it is therefore worth first checking the existing modules. Additional data sources, permissions and the maintenance of custom KPIs should be clarified using a specific report.

Sage 100 Smart BI is an add-on solution for dashboards and analyses documented on the German Sage site. The data sheet mentions a standard integration for Sage 100, additional databases, filters, drill-down and a dashboard designer. User-dependent views can be provided in the web client. For German Sage 100 users, this connection is particularly important, because Sage products of the same name in other countries may have different reporting components. The specific version and the implementation partner should therefore be stated in the offer.

AVEVA Reports for Operations is geared towards reports from industrial operating data. The software processes manual inputs, current values and historical data from different sources and provides them in configurable reports. Creation takes place via graphical tools. The offer is of interest to plant operators who have to produce recurring operating or performance reports. In the comparison, data sources, archive periods, report layouts and the desired distribution should be tested using a typical production report. RIB BI+ is the current product address of the analytics tool formerly offered as datapine. The current presentation concentrates on construction and combines customisable dashboards with industry-specific KPIs. AI-supported alerts are intended to detect patterns and notable changes. For companies in construction and project business, a selection case that looks at costs and operational data together makes sense. The specific origin, updating and business meaning of each KPI used should become visible in the process.

Tulip Analytics analyses data from applications, tables and machines within the Frontline Operations platform. Users can create charts and KPIs and make them available in dashboards or work applications. The approach is particularly suitable if specialist areas already map processes and data capture in Tulip. For the reporting selection, data model, time reference and access rights should be checked on a real manufacturing case. Automatically scheduled report distribution is to be clarified separately and is not assumed here.
Assessment: Companies with Tulip applications on the shop floor.

Financial, personnel and project data can come together in role-based dashboards and modifiable reporting structures. The current product page also describes AI-supported indications of anomalies.
