• Business Intelligence

• Business Intelligence enables organizations to make more informed business decisions. Companies with superior Business Intelligence are more agile and have greater ability to forecast and realign resources than competitors who lack this level of visibility. As a result, this intelligence becomes a primary source of competitive advantage. Because having industry leading Business Intelligence is so important, an increasing number of leading retailers, banks, financial service institutions and other businesses have substantially improved their Business Intelligence capabilities by adding Acorn Systems’ Profit Optimization solutions to gain transaction-level visibility into their cost, profit and performance drivers, for greater success with service level, revenue and profit goals.
  
  Acorn Systems’ Profit Optimization solutions take cost, revenue, profit and service level information from your business’s existing systems and makes this data highly transparent. Business processes and customer service levels can be managed in a secure, customer privacy protected, role-based format throughout the organization. This level of Business Intelligence provides greater visibility and operational and financial control to C-level executives. It empowers line level managers with the information they need to make informed daily decisions on complex matters that often result in lost profit and revenue opportunities such as:
• • Customer Profitability and Cost to Serve queries
• • SKU Rationalization and Market Basket Profitability queries
• • Store Labor Management profitability queries
• • Key Performance Indicator queries
• • Financial Results and Operational Analytics queries
