Phocas has helped us keep our salespeople on task

Commentaires : Phocas software is great! We are just scratching the surface with what it can do and look forward to using this more.

Avantages :

We have used Phocas since 2008 and have always liked how fast we can generate reports. The reports that I have setup to e-mail keep me informed on key indicators in our business. We started using CRM a couple of years ago and like how easy it is for our salespeople to enter calls on their mobile device.

Inconvénients :

I would like to see a better way to track and run reports on leads in CRM. Sometimes upgrades and support take a little longer the we would like.

Phocas Changed Everything for US.

Commentaires : As I said in my Pros section, we are making data driven decisions now and our sales reflect that. Also, their customer service team is top notch and more on the ball than any other software company I have dealt with in recent years.

Avantages :

Before we migrated over to Phocas we were using MITS which was very clunky and very slow. Because of these reasons most of us never really touched it. That meant that we weren't utilizing data when making decisions and more using our gut. Since implementing Phocas our decision making has been data driven and we are making smart choices and it shows in our sales.

Inconvénients :

The only con I can think of had really nothing to do with Phocas. We had a rough time when we switched ERP systems. But the issue was with the ERP company and not Phocas.

Best BI Tool

Commentaires : I love it, since we really started using phocas(last pug conference) I have decreased the amount of crystal reports by at least 75% or more.

Avantages :

This software allows me to gather databases from all over the organization and present the, to our users via dashboard/report or let them drive their own reporting.

Inconvénients :

It was a bit difficult to understand the Sync/dbdesigner part since documentation on this was a bit vague

Phocas Review

It's intuitive and easy to navigate. Gets to the answers quickly.

The dashboard graphics/colors do not have as much visual pop as other apps.

Wholesale distributor review of Phocas

Phocas is the simplest dashboard and BI tool

Commentaires : happy and satisfied with the onboarding process and data presentation

Avantages :

User freindly and easy to understand reports and dashboard. In depth analysis with detailing of each parameter

Inconvénients :

not encountered anything that is not as per requirement

I've worked with Phocas for just a year, and absolutely LOVE it.

Avantages :

The ease of use is great, and has brought so much benefit to our company. We are able to customize reports and dashboards to our needs as a company, which is a huge deal. Getting reports out to our field is easy and painless. We use subscriptions constantly, and that has made many employee's lives easier.

Inconvénients :

I wish, still there was more ability to customize the report layouts. There are a lot of times when I have to create the report in Phocas, export it, and then do additional formatting in Excel. Also, the ability to download an entire dashboard would be amazing! It would make it so much easier than exporting each part individually.

Analytics in today's business environment

Commentaires : My overall experience with Phocas has been good from the start. They are prompt in with a response when you have an issue and will help you get the results you are looking for when utilizing custom searches and in-depth calculations.

Avantages :

Phocas is incredibly easy to use and helps you dig into an type of business analytics you can think of for your business.

Inconvénients :

There are not many of CONS that I have with Phocas, but the biggest issue I have is the lack of graphics for dashboards and the ability to truly customize those graphics. Also, the graphics can be a little quirky at times.

A Game Changer!

Avantages :

I love the ability to customize your data.

I also love the flexibility of changing views, measures, dates, etc. with ease without starting from scratch.

Avantages :

Very happy with Phocas

Commentaires : Overall we are very happy with our product.

Avantages :

This product is easy to use and we create reports quickly.

Marketing Manager

Avantages :

Phocas allows me to track the results of sales promotions with ease. It also lets me focus in on under performing product classes and identify the root cause. It's one of the best software programs we have.

Johnstone Supply - Las Vegas - Why Phocas has increased our productivity!

Commentaires : Overall we are very happy with this product. It has opened the door for getting information to our teams much faster and it also created a new full time position for data analysis! The flexibility of being able to create our own databases, & adding to existing databases has increased our ability to share information to our teams in a easy to view format instead of sending spreadsheets that some people did not look at.

Avantages :

It is very easy to use! I can show someone the basics in 5 to 10 minutes and they are off and running creating favorites and dashboards. The software is updated every month and their support and documentation is outstanding. The product gives us the information we need faster than doing it in our ERP system. With a couple of clicks you can analyze you sales data and then quickly change views to look at the data in a completely different way. It very robust in all the options you have. The company is developing based on their customer needs, you can tell that they all want to help us achieve success with this product.

Inconvénients :

This is hard to say because their are few cons. We have requested enhancements and we have some support issues that are submitted. But we have no visibility , (web portal), to review what we already submitted. It would be nice to have a support portal to check open cases and enhancements we have submitted.
