ASA Tire Systems Announces Business Intelligence
Module
Las Vegas, NV, November 4, 2003
- ASA Tire Systems today announced Analytix, a new Business Intelligence
system designed to help tire dealers better manage their businesses.
Analytix works with both TireMax and TirePro databases, providing
a series of pre-built analytical views that provide insight into
key business drivers and performance indicators. Real time information
is presented at the highest executive level, allowing users to drill
into the information for detailed data analysis. Analytix is designed
to be useful to owners, general managers, CFOs and store managers.
"Analytix was
designed to fill a gap for our customers," said Wayne Croswell,
President of ASA Tire Systems. "They have been using our system
for many years to run their operations and have built up a wealth
of information. The analysis of that information can be very useful
in helping them to look ahead and make decisions about their business.
Analytix makes the information available instantaneously without
the need to format and run reports. We expect that Analytix will
become invaluable to our customers," continued Croswell.
Analytix contains
both Monthly and Daily Analyses. The Daily Analysis allows entry
of goals, providing daily and weekly tracking against those goals
so shortfalls can be spotted early. Managers can instantly see what
products and services are moving and which locations are performing
on target. The Monthly Analysis contains more than 20 unique views
and provides both comparative and trend analysis with extensive
filtering capabilities. The accessible information is equivalent
to what a user would gain by running hundreds of reports.
Analytix is hosted
in Microsoft Excel. Excel workbooks contain live links to the data
that is updated on a daily basis with an easy to operate user interface.
Users also have the option to create custom spreadsheets with their
own analysis.
