To understand Automated Reporting it is important to understand Business Intelligence.

What is Business Intelligence?
       
Business Intelligence (BI) is fast becoming a necessity for gaining and maintaining a competitive advantage because it provides insight into a company's business that other business applications cannot. Decisions cannot be made based on reams of transactions alone; BI turns data into information by providing trends and highlighting areas that require attention or present opportunities.

Together with using software such as BIC or also known as Alchemex, AutoExcel can develop customised Excel Templates to suit your needs.  Just by clicking a play button you are able to generate a Sales Report, Income Statement, Dashboard or any other customised template created by AutoExcel directly from your database and view your reports in Microsoft Excel.
