Looking for a Tool to Generate Automatic Reports?
Automatic reports are vital for the monitoring and control of business conditions. Without robust report automation tools, the production of regular reports puts additional demands on administrators and employees.
With so much business travel and work done out in the field, report accessibly and deliverability can also be an issue. InetSoft's automated reporting tool, Style Report, makes the setup and generation of automated reports easy and efficient.
Report Scheduler - Generate Reports Automatically
Set up all of your reports to run automatically, without sacrificing flexibility and control
With InetSoft's Report Scheduler, you can automate an unlimited number of reports, without creating additional work for IT or administrators. The Report Scheduler can be programmed to generate reports at any regular interval, whether its a daily, weekly, or quarterly basis.
A report can also be triggered on a certain date or when a certain condition or threshold is met. The function of report delivery is also fully automated and scheduled. Reports can be automatically delivered by email or print, as well as exported into Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, and other formats.
Other options for the scheduler include being notified by text when a report has been generated, saving snapshots in an archive including setting the lifespan of the archives.
Access Automated Reports Anywhere
Make your reports accessible in the office, at home, or in the field.
InetSoft's solution is easy to learn; only basic Excel skills are needed. Companies who use InetSoft software see the value of this when managers start creating their own ad hoc reports, without support from IT. And with our mobile capabilities, report access is no longer an issue. Style Report is a web-based solution, which can be accessed on Ipads, Iphones, laptops, and other mobile devices.
Data Mashup and Drilldown - Flexible Automated Reporting
Give your user's the power to discover new insights into your company's data
With Style Report, you won't have to run redundant reports because of limited data access. InetSoft's solution can mashup data from many diverse sources in real time, giving you maximum flexibility in report generation and giving recipients a high degree of self-service.
Reports can also be made interactive with drilldown capability, enabling managers to find further insights in the data. Certain patterns or thresholds in the data can be set to trigger automated alerts, ensuring that certain conditions do not escape the reader's attention. Alerts can be delivered by email or text.
What Are the Essential Features Required In a Tool for Generating Reports Automatically?
One of the most important features in an automated reporting tool is robust data integration. Organizations typically pull information from multiple systems such as CRMs, ERPs, marketing platforms, and financial databases. A capable tool must connect seamlessly to these diverse sources, standardize the data, and update reports in real time or on a scheduled basis. Without this capability, reports risk becoming outdated, incomplete, or manually burdensome to maintain.
Another critical feature is customizable templates and formatting options. Automated reporting should not result in generic outputs that stakeholders struggle to interpret. The tool should allow users to define layouts, apply branding, highlight KPIs, and create visualizations that match the organization’s communication needs. This ensures that reports are not only accurate but also accessible and visually engaging for executives, managers, or clients who depend on them for decision-making.
Scheduling and distribution capabilities are equally essential. A strong reporting tool must be able to deliver insights to the right people at the right time, whether through email, dashboards, or mobile devices. Automated delivery reduces the risk of delays or bottlenecks caused by human error, and it ensures decision-makers receive critical updates consistently. This also adds an element of reliability and transparency that manual reporting cannot guarantee.
Lastly, advanced tools should offer analytics features such as anomaly detection, drill-downs, and natural language querying. Automation is not just about creating static reports—it should also help highlight trends, flag irregularities, and allow users to interact with the data when deeper insights are required. Security and access control are also vital, ensuring sensitive information is shared only with authorized individuals. Taken together, these features make automated reporting tools indispensable for organizations seeking efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in their reporting processes.
