New maps and charts

Today we are happy to announce 7 new data visualizations in Business Analyze.

New data visualizations are important because they make it easier for businesses to interpret and act on data with greater speed and efficiency.

In addition to various types of gauges, pie charts, bar and line charts, Business Analyze now supports:

  • country and regional maps
  • tree maps
  • heat maps
  • split bubble chart
  • packed bubble chart
  • waterfall diagrams
  • XYZ charts

Each chart type has special capabilities to help users see patterns, spot outliers, and draw conclusions from data faster.

Example of XYZ chart showing 3 dimensions.

Create more insightful reports

The new visualizations help companies analyze data for a wider range of business cases and data sets.

The waterfall graph, for example, is particularly useful for companies with recurring revenues. It makes it easier to analyze and predict changes in revenues by graphically presenting inflows and outflows over time. Heat maps on the other hand, make it much easier to show concentration levels at a specific point in time.

– As businesses struggle to keep up with growing amounts of data, the role of business analytics tools is to provide users with faster ways to visualize and consume that data, says Frode Svensson, CTO at Business Analyze.

– This latest product release will help businesses find meaning in data that is difficult to find in any other way.

Example of waterfall visualization with positive and negative values and cumulative sum.

Example of the heat map which uses color-shading to help users quickly pick out high and low levels of activity or events.

Requirements

The data visualizations are available in Business Analyze (cloud version).

Cloud customers received the update as part of the latest software release.

Note: Customers will likely need to structure data in order to make the visualizations meaningful. If you are used to working with data, you can do this with a Developer license. Our data consultants will also help you. See ‘Services’ or contact Customer Success.

Top 5 Apps in the SuperOffice App Store

Logo of top 5 SuperOffice Apps

Whether your company is just getting started with SuperOffice or has been using SuperOffice for many years, make sure you regularly visit SuperOffice App Store.

SuperOffice App Store offers apps that integrate with your CRM, helping you do more with less effort.

You’ll be surprised how many apps are readily available. Whatever kind of tool or shortcut your business might need, there’s probably an app for it. Some apps can perform services you might not know were possible.

To help you find the right apps, SuperOffice App Store is organized into 4 categories, including: 1. Integrate and automate 2. Work smarter and faster 3. Power up your marketing 4. Boost your sales 5. Analyze and gain insights.

Understanding the differences between apps can be difficult. At first glance, some apps appear to do the same things.

Here’s our suggestion for the top FREE apps that make life easier and our pick for the top five apps that support your business performance and digital transformation.

4 free “must-have” apps to quickly support your day-to-day operations

There are four free apps everyone should get to know. Why? Because, not only are they free, they are fundamental to making CRM users happier and more productive. They can boost CRM adoption rates and provide all-round greater benefit for your business.

SuperOffice Pocket CRM: This app is SuperOffice for mobile devices. You and your team can book meetings, update your sales pipeline, open and read documents, check the status of projects, follow up on sales and manage your sales team – from their phone or tablet. With Pocket CRM, there’s no reason to wait until you are at your desk.

Microsoft 365 Integration: This app integrates the Microsoft 365 documents management function so that you can create, store and find your documents within SuperOffice, and enjoy the benefits of both services all in one place.

SuperOffice Gmail Link: If you use Google’s Gmail as your main email client, then use this app to link it to SuperOffice CRM Online. The app lets you save emails and contacts in SuperOffice and share them with your company.

Zapier: The Zapier integration app lets you connect SuperOffice to over 1500 other applications, and powers automated workflows between your everyday applications. Having apps work together on repetitive tasks through a simple “if this then that” logic reduces your task list and leaves more time to sharpen your expertise.

The top 5 apps for SuperOffice CRM

While there is a no clear-cut list of apps that are better than the others, there are some apps that have either a more universal appeal or a unique value-proposition. Other apps are particularly relevant for a company’s road to become more digital because they support key parts of the customer journey.

Let’s have a look:

Calendar synchronization

Synchronizer for SuperOffice by InfoBridge Software

The InfoBridge calendar synchronization app keeps appointments, tasks and contact information in sync between your Microsoft or Google applications and SuperOffice using a cloud-based calendar integration.

Whether your team is working at home, office or abroad, calendars are always in sync. Synchronizer for SuperOffice automatically syncs all contact details associated with your appointments to your mobile device. It also ensures that any corporate wide calendar is kept up to date with appointments made in your CRM solution.

Business intelligence

Business Analyze for SuperOffice by Business Analyze

Business Analyze is a business intelligence solution that helps leaders and their teams track performance (KPIs) and make data-driven decisions.

The app gathers CRM data and other company data into dashboards for easy analysis and automatic reporting. Instead of time-consuming spreadsheets, Business Analyze provides visual, automated reports about revenues, sales, budgets, forecasts, customer experience, orders, invoices and more.

Business Analyze helps managers implement strategies and keep teams focused and motivated. Insights from Business Analyze can be embedded into SuperOffice or streamed to TV screens.

ERP integration

Sync and Quote apps by Keyforce

Keyforce offers two-way synchronization between SuperOffice and 24 popular ERP systems. These synchronization apps keep data updated both places and make ERP data available in SuperOffice so users have access to customer records without having to look up information in a separate place.

Customer contacts, offers and orders can also be created in SuperOffice and automatically transferred to the ERP system.

The apps make both front and back office workflows run smoother and reduce the risk of error caused by manually transferring data.

Marketing automation

eMarketeer for SuperOffice by Emarketeer

C.K. Environments is a growing company that sells, services and advises customers in advanced measuring and analysis equipment.

C.K. Environment interacts on many levels with their customers and suppliers and manages a wide range of products.

Now C.K. Environment has reached a point where management is looking for more effective reporting systems that can extract data from Microsoft Dynamics and SuperOffice and present it in charts, graphs, tables and other graphical visualizations – in one single view.

 

Lars Gjedde, CEO and owner of C.K. Environment says:

– “We are expanding our business, and therefore our management, finance, sales and marketing departments need daily statuses on budgets, sales and ongoing projects in an easily accessible way.”

– “Right now, we use 2-3 different systems to get a comprehensive overview of our operations – that’s a waste of our time. We constantly seek ways to optimize our business – and we needed a quick way to see which buttons to press in order to maintain a healthy operation. This is possible with our new Business Analyze solution.”

C.K. Environment’s plan is to place a screen in their cafeteria, where employees come every day. On the screen, Business Analyze will show data in graphs – so that all employees are always updated in company updates and goals.

Lars Gjedde: “We believe that openness and insight into company data and operations will give us more committed and more flexible employees.”

 

About C.K Environment
C.K. Environments sell, service and advice customers in advanced measuring and analysis equipment. The company is at the forefront of environmental technology and in developing new solutions that meet different requirements for measuring emissions.

Industry: Wholesaler of machinery and equipment
IT systems: Microsoft Dynamics AX, SuperOffice and Business Analyze

Business Analyze helps Norwegian Center for Information Security with ‘real-time’ solution for Security Monitoring and Intelligence

/in , , , /by

NorSIS is an independent organization and partner to the government, businesses and research facilities in the subject of cyber security.

Both businesses, organisations and private citizens can meet digital threats and safety risks on the internet. Because of this, it’s important for NorSIS to have, at every given time, an up-to-date view of threats and developments.

Business Analyze has helped NorSIS with development of Cybervarsel, an analytics and data visualisation solutions which gathers data in one place and presents incidents and statistics in real-time.

More information in Norwegian

“Løsningen gir oss en effektiv og visuell oversikt over situasjonsbilde, hvor en før måtte forholde seg til flere systemer og løsninger», sier Vidar Sandland.

Cybervarsel viser hvor mange sikkerhetssaker som er til behandling, utvikling og trender innen sikkerhet, samt hvilke hjelpemidler og veiledninger som blir brukt.

Data i løsningen kommer inn fra nettsteder som nettvett.no og slettmeg.no med Google Analytics og Live Agent som kilder, og gir løpende oppdateringer på digitale dashbord i Business Analyze.

Løsningen brukes nå internt hos NorSIS, og vil på sikt kunne tilbys norske virksomheter for å informere om trusler og trender.

Cybervarsel dashboard sammenstiler data og et “real time” oversiktsbilde på hendelser og statistikk i NorSIS.
