“The original mandate for our sales reporting solution has been exceeded in the extreme. We’re now not only able to produce the original reports, but the ‘drill-down’ on these reports enables the sales team to analyse their sales, focus on the areas & customers that are not fulfilling their expectations, and even check that what they imagine is happening in terms of orders, is true. EiB Analytics really has become an invaluable asset to our business!”
