Reporting & Analytics

Most businesses spend a significant amount of time curating data and not enough time for actual analysis. This in turn means that they are leaving possible revenue on the table. A challenge is that the data from connected products and related business data are often unstructured. Conventional approaches to data aggregation and analysis, such as spreadsheets and database tables, are ill-suited to managing a wide variety of data formats.

The LogiSense Billing platform addresses these issues through multiple mechanisms including a powerful and flexible reporting framework. The reporting framework has the ability to report on customer activity over the course of the relationship. These include the products they have purchased, usage history, changes they have made and so on. LogiSense Billing ships out of the box with pre-canned reports.
