KPI - The New Leadership
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have long been marketed as tools to streamline business operations and provide end-to-end visibility. However, when it comes to reporting, many companies find that their ERP systems fall short. Traditional ERP reporting tools often fail to deliver real-time insights, customizable dashboards, or advanced analytics capabilities, leading to inefficiencies and delays in decision-making.
In today’s data-driven world, advanced reporting is not just a nice-to-have; it’s a necessity. Businesses need accurate, timely, and easily accessible data to make informed decisions quickly. This is where Jet Analytics, a solution built specifically for ERP systems like Microsoft Dynamics comes into play.

ERP Reporting: Where It Falls Short
Despite the promise of seamless data management, many ERP systems struggle with reporting capabilities. Here are some common limitations of built-in ERP reporting tools:
Lack of Real-Time Data Access
Traditional ERP systems often deal with data in batches, meaning users are left with outdated information. Decisions based on delayed data can result in missed opportunities or incorrect conclusions.
Customization Requires Technical Expertise
For businesses to extract value from their ERP, they often need custom reports that fit their specific needs. However, customizing reports in ERP systems usually requires coding skills or BI consultants, both of which can be costly and time-consuming.
Manual Report Generation
Many ERP systems still rely on manual data extraction and report creation, which not only increases the time to generate insights but also leaves room for human error.
Hidden Costs
To overcome these limitations, many businesses end up hiring BI consultants or investing in external business intelligence tools. These costs quickly add up, draining resources that could be better spent elsewhere.
Poor Query Performance
ERP systems often struggle with querying large datasets efficiently. Complex queries or multi-dimensional analyses can lead to significant delays or system slowdowns, making real-time analytics nearly impossible.
Lacks Advanced Analytics
Built-in ERP reporting tools typically lack advanced analytics features like predictive modeling, trend analysis, or data visualization options. This limits users to static, historical reports without the ability to uncover deeper insights or forecast future trends.
