Infor LN & Baan: BIG DATA - Keeping Track of Key Metrics

In order to communicate effectively as a team, everyone needs to speak the same language and operate off the same playbook. If decisions are made based on the data or the view of data that individuals are maintaining through their own spreadsheets or other data silos, then communication is negatively impacted.

Manufacturers need to review large amounts of data every day, making it difficult to keep track of key metrics within your department.

That’s where Crossroads RMC’s Analytics Dashboard solution comes in. Our Analytics Dashboard was developed to make tasks easier by putting all of the key information in one convenient location so you can view all of your crucial data in real-time.
 

With powerful dashboards, you can:

  • Create pie charts, graphs, interactive maps, and more with just a few clicks.
  • Build a dashboard once and make it instantly available on any device.
  • Tell a story with your data with your own custom layouts, colors, and commentary—all with no coding.
  • Confidently provide reports with real-time data updates.
  • Access your dashboards from anywhere–computer, tablet, or phone.

Check out the sample of our dashboards by department below. Then, to get started, request a demo for a complete walkthrough of our Analytics Dashboard.
