Reporting made easy for accountants with Sage Pastel Online Intelligence Go!


Johannesburg, 03 Jun 2014

Sage Alchemex is making powerful online business intelligence and reporting tools more accessible to accountants with the release of Sage Pastel Online Intelligence Go!, an easy-to-use cloud solution for anytime, anywhere reporting available as a free download on the Microsoft App Store for use with Sage Pastel Online.

The solution, designed with the needs of small businesses in mind, will grant accountants greater flexibility and control over the report design process, and will allow them to spend less time sorting through data.

Intelligence Go! extracts data from Sage Pastel Online and delivers it in a Microsoft Excel report template, which can be custom designed to almost any type of report. Accountants will have the freedom to decide what information they want to analyse and, using their existing Excel skills, design exactly how they want to present it. Instead of reformatting the same report month after month, they will be able to set up reports in their preferred format and thereafter will only have to refresh the data each month.

According to Michael Brennan, Product Manager of the app: "The feedback from accountants so far has been really encouraging; with Excel being such a familiar tool, it makes complete sense to be able to get access to Sage Pastel Online data in flexible reports without wasting valuable time doing manual exports and reformatting inside Excel."

Not only does Intelligence Go! provide financial reports, it also has the ability to report off operational data. From the flexibility of viewing sales by customer to a report that highlights top five customers and top five items, the solution can provide a wealth of sales intelligence. Other templates make it simple to see summaries of profits and losses or assets and liabilities.

Stephen Coull, Sales Director at Sage Alchemex, says: "Like larger businesses, SMEs need access to up-to-the-minute financial data to make good business decisions. With Intelligence Go! we are giving accountants a powerful and flexible reporting solution that allows them to easily customise reports and view data at different angles with little effort so that they can provide valuable financial and business insights to their clients."

Sage Alchemex is hosting an online seminar (Webinar) on 11 June at 9.30am for accountants to get more information on this online reporting software. Accountants can register for the Webinar here. For more information, visit go.sageintelligence.com.
