Solarsoft Dashboards provide clear facts for production, inventory, sales, finance, and purchasing.

Toronto, ON - May 28 - Solarsoft Business Systems, a leading provider of enterprise software and IT services to manufacturers worldwide, announced today a new Business Intelligence and Analytics product offering for Solarsoft iVP, an ERP system for discrete manufacturing. The browser-based dashboards help managers make better decisions and see new possibilities by leveraging data harvested from the Solarsoft iVP ERP system.

Designed to meet the toughest business intelligence and analytics requirements, Solarsoft Dashboards come with comprehensive chart formats, drill-down support, and out-of-the-box datamart integration with Solarsoft iVP. Data can be refreshed from the ERP system on a scheduled basis or on-demand to ensure managers always have up-to-date and accurate information.

Customizable dashboards for production, inventory, sales, finance, purchasing and orders let managers easily spot trends and drill down to underlying charts and data to understand root causes. For example, the production dashboard enables operations executives to clearly understand plant performance with common production Key Performance Indicators like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

Solarsoft Dashboards runs within a web browser or on a smart phone, making access to the valuable data easy.

"Solarsoft Dashboards for iVP is the result of listening to our customers' requests for a powerful analytics solution that is pre-integrated with the iVP database," says Stewart Baillie, VP of Product Development at Solarsoft. "These dashboards provide managers with a strong starting point and they can easily create their own dashboards to reflect their individual business needs."
