Reporting

What is reporting?

Reporting is the process of collecting, processing, analyzing and presenting data that helps companies track their performance and make decisions based on up-to-date information. The output of reporting is clear reports showing key indicators, trends and deviations from set targets.

Reporting is used across many areas of business, such as finance, sales, marketing, production and logistics. It gives management and individual teams an overview of how the company is doing, where problems arise and which opportunities can be used.

What are the types of reporting?

Reporting can be divided by the area it covers or by its purpose.

• Financial reporting – an overview of financial performance, costs, revenues and financial results.
• Management reporting – information for management to support control and strategic decisions.
• Sales reporting – analysis of sales, customers, sales activities and achievement of sales targets.
• Operational reporting – ongoing monitoring of operational processes and their performance.
• Performance reporting – evaluation of key performance indicators such as KPIs.

How does reporting work?

Reporting usually starts with collecting data from various information systems, such as ERP, CRM or accounting applications. The data is then processed, unified and analyzed. The results are presented in reports, tables, charts or dashboards.

Modern reporting tools make it possible to automate the whole process. Reports can then be updated regularly or whenever new data becomes available.

What are the benefits of automated reporting?

Automated reporting reduces manual work in preparing reports, lowers the risk of errors and makes information available faster. Users can work with up-to-date data and spend more time interpreting it instead of processing it by hand.
