SAP Concur

SAP Concur’s Business Intelligence comes with 180 prebuilt reports to give businesses a robust picture of spending. Intelligence provides spending data and analytics targeted at the issues affecting an entire organisation, so managers and employees will get the information they need to control spending as it happens or even before it happens. 

With Intelligence, business leaders can monitor trends, create custom reports, identify top spenders, enforce policies, and get insights that will help them make better business decisions. Sitting within Intelligence, persona dashboards are easy-to-use dashboards designed to provide information at a glance for a specific user working within a specific role or function.

Additionally, the fringe benefits tax (FBT) dashboard offers clear, actionable data for FBT analysis that can help businesses report on FBT liability to date against budgeted FBT liability and provide insight into the business’s entertainment spend for the year.

Ontime Delivery Solutions

Telematics technology provides data and analytics for parcel delivery and vehicles, with enormous benefits for delivery fleets regarding efficiency, customer service, and safety. Yet research shows small and mid-sized delivery fleets have lagged larger fleets in adopting this technology.

To address this issue, Ontime Delivery Solutions launched Ontime Telematics, a streamlined telematics solution providing GPS tracking and route analysis to maximise efficiency, at a price point suitable for small-to-medium delivery fleets.

Benefits from telematics data and analytics include route optimisation and vehicle monitoring, which can also save fuel. Telematics is also used as a safety item where a business can be notified in the case of a driver not doing the correct thing, such as excessive speed or not taking breaks. 

Ontime Telematics assists in proof of delivery and provides greater transparency, with customers able to receive notifications and stay informed regarding their delivery status.

Mwah.

The mwah. Culture Dashboard is the culmination of 5-years of research, thinking, and analysis of over 60 organisations and tens of thousands of people on what matters at work. 

Today, the Culture Dashboard has become an innovative technology platform to understand, map and measure the complex human system that is organisational culture. We are really proud of the platform we have built and the insights it delivers. 

It focuses on 3 core indices:

  • Diversity Identity – who is in the organisation and what matters to them
  • Belonging Index – what matters across key dimensions like Purpose, Relationships and Accountability
  • Social Mapping (sometimes known as Organisational Network Analysis) – how does work happen?

These indices are visualised as a map of people experience, and can be grouped by Diversity Identity (and other lenses) so leaders can see how experience differs.

The Culture Dashboard is being adopted by progressive organisations globally, with increasing emphasis placed on both the integration of outside data sources to the Dashboard; and a shifting focus on shaping effective, longitudinal measurement of the ‘S’ (Social) within ESG.

Attributer.io

Attributer is a marketing attribution tool which helps you understand where your leads, customers and revenue are coming from by capturing and passing marketing channel attribution data into your CRM and other sales and marketing tools. 

When a visitor lands on your site, Attributer looks at a bunch of technical information about how that visitor got there (same things as tools like Google Analytics look at) and uses it to determine where the visitor originated from. It then categorises the visit into a standardised set of marketing channels (the same channels you see in tools like Google Analytics, such as organic search, paid social, paid search, etc.) and saves the data to a cookie in the user’s browser.

When the site visitor submits a form on your website, Attributer passes the attribution information into hidden fields in your forms, and the data flows into whatever backend tools you have connected to your forms, such as your CRM, billing platform, analytics tools, etc.

You can then use this data to run reports that show you where your leads, customers and revenue are coming from and, ultimately, what you need to do to grow.

National Property Group 

National Property Group is an Australian property data provider helping real estate agents and property professionals use data strategically and effectively for better insights for vendors, buyers, and business growth.

Property data houses have billions of data points, but some are simply inaccessible and of little value, until you stumble across the property. An example of this is the lot, plan and dimension information. Most data companies supply this data in one form or another, but getting any actionable insights is difficult.

Understanding and identifying this data has significant implications on the property’s value, creating opportunities and risks for property professionals. As part of the National Property Group platform, BI tools allow small businesses to access details around lots and dimensions and then display the details on a mapping engine. It’s a game changer in property data and analytics.
