Each organization measures itself in a slightly different manner, but there are certain performance metrics that are relevant to many government contractors. Having the tools to track the right key performance data can provide insights to help you make the right business decisions. Government contracting can be complex and hard to navigate without a robust business management platform, and it’s become even more complex since the pandemic, with remote work becoming the new normal. A cornerstone of successful financial management is understanding and monitoring financial results to achieve profitability goals. Now more than ever, you need to have access to real-time analytics to keep a finger on the pulse of your organization.
Out-of-the-box, JAMIS Prime ERP comes with multiple reporting tools, including dynamic dashboards, along with integration to Microsoft Power BI to make sure your team can make informed, data-driven decisions. Since JAMIS Prime ERP is device agnostic, you can use your device and browser of choice to access these reports and your other important data within the system. This is a crucial requirement for organizations with a distributed workforce who wish to stay connected and informed.
JAMIS delivers live data to your devices, in your preferred format, without needing any coding or advanced reporting knowledge!
Dashboards
Not everyone in your organization wears the same hat. Employees have different roles, tasks, and KPIs that they have eyes on each day. JAMIS Prime ERP is a role-based application that allows all users to view a variety of pre-built reports, known as dashboards, tailored to their specific role. Dashboard reports are displayed on your home screen and provide real-time, drillable data that gives users insight into the critical metrics they need, when they need it.
Some examples of pre-built dashboards include, but are not limited to:
Beyond trend charts and widgets, which allow you to see your business’s performance on a day-to-day, week-to-week, or month-to-month basis, JAMIS Prime ERP provides scorecards and meter KPI widgets. Scorecards display statistical records that measure progress or achievement towards a set performance indicator. Using scorecards provides visual indicators, such as colors, to help users quickly evaluate performance. Meters present data in the form of a gauge, which indicates the variance percentage value along an arc. This, in turn, shows a quantifiable measure of progress toward a business goal.
Deeper Insights
Behind every KPI is a generic inquiry that constantly feeds live data into the dashboard. Generic inquiries provide the logic for a dashboard KPI and are as dynamic as the dashboards themselves. This allows the user to navigate from a surface-level data view to a more detailed view in one click.
Customize
Your business data, like your operations, needs to be flexible. But what if the pre-built dashboard reports don’t align with the initiatives you’re working on? JAMIS Prime ERP is built on a low code/ no code architecture, which allows your users to easily adapt to changes, take control of your data, and rapidly configure ad-hoc reports and dashboards for specific needs without any programming experience. A modern system, like JAMIS Prime ERP, will allow your users to build and adjust reports, sparing you the cost and delay of custom development cycles. This functionality guarantees scalability and supports growth.
Without a modern system, businesses often resort to running reports and analytics in Microsoft Excel. While the functionality of Excel is familiar and user-friendly, Excel reports are prone to human error, lack real-time visibility needed for agile businesses, and lack control and security.
JAMIS Prime ERP leverages the data available within the ERP to allow users access to the same Excel-based functionality, like conditional formatting, but with more accurate, real-time, and secure data. Users can easily configure pivot tables within JAMIS Prime ERP and reflect the data as a dashboard widget, allowing you to summarize large amounts of data whenever they need it quickly.
Business Intelligence (BI) & Analytics
Outside of the standard, pre-configured dashboards, JAMIS Prime ERP has a fully embedded integration with Microsoft Power BI to take your reports and analytics to another level. Voted best BI tool by Gartner, JAMIS Prime ERP has created several standard “turn-key” data models, using OData, for different roles and departmental use cases including Program Management, Financials, Billing/ Revenue, and Job Cost P&L. Access to these models gives users a unique approach to dive into the details, visualize key performance data, and make important data-driven decisions for your business.
