Business Insights Explorer is the most convenient way to navigate your business-related activities. It brings ad hoc inquiry, drill-down, and drill-around analysis up to a whole new level. It turns data into knowledge that can act on by using powerful sorting, grouping, filtering, and charting capabilities that can be personalized to specific needs and roles within a company. This easy-to-use inquiry and analysis application optimizes daily decision-making tasks in the most critical areas of business.

A streamlined grid interface spans multiple data elements in one view, and you can choose among the predefined views for Sales Orders, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Bill of Materials, Inventory Management, and Purchase Orders. Users can use quick-click charts for a visual representation of the data and to show trends. Changing views for the same customer, plus drill down to the transaction level and accessing customer maintenance for edits without having to go to other modules in your Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200) system is also possible. User can also launch familiar Sage 100 ERP tasks directly from within Business Insights Explorer and find the information without losing its place. In fact, both employer and its employees can efficiently go through daily tasks from Business Insights Explorer that may exceed the productivity using the traditional menu layout.
