Sales and Distribution Analysis Module
Features & Benefits
MicroStrategy’s Sales & Distribution Analysis Module, an application module for supply chain management and operational performance management, provides more than 165 performance metrics and over 80 key reports to help your organization achieve operational efficiencies across the sales-through-distribution value chain.
Built on the MicroStrategy Platform, the Sales and Distribution Analysis Module delivers reports with deeper insight than reports produced from an ERP system. MicroStrategy reports and scorecards allow for advanced, detailed analysis on-line of critical processes including sales order processing, backlog management, and returns handling. Leveraging the security and administration of the MicroStrategy platform, a company may send Delivery Activity Scorecards to distributors, while granting an internal business analyst permission to diagnose inefficiencies in the sales order process.
MicroStrategy’s Sales and Distribution Analysis Module has been designed so that organizations can accelerate supply chain management initiatives by running packaged analytics directly against an existing data warehouse or multiple disparate data sources including SAP® BW. The module can be easily modified and extended to meet additional reporting and data requirements.
