Box Reporting Software

Box's software is a platform for content management, workflow, and project management. Effective project reporting is essential for an organization's progress and should be implemented at all levels ranging from employees to owners and executives. The right status reporting software will integrate all relevant sources of data, making it easy to keep all of an organization's activities in check.

InetSoft's flagship tool, StyleBI, includes a custom web connector for Box data, as well as connectors for a host of other data sources, both cloud and on-site.

Project managers foremost need project progress and coordination information such as dashboards displaying Gantt charts (see dashboard example). However, Box dashboards and reports must be able to go beyond core project management data to give a holistic view of all factors that can impact on-time, on-budget delivery.
