ADVIZOR TECHNOLOGY IS . . .

tMake better and faster fact-based decisions.

A Light Footprint Front-end to ERP, Shop Floor, and other data systems.

We turn existing data into usefuland understandable information so that manufacturing teams can:

WE KILL THE “CYCLE OF PAIN”

CUSTOM REPORT REQUESTS:• Custom query submitted to IT• Backlog – often weeks to get an

answer• Begs another question, back

through the cycle• Frustration on both sides

EXCEL:• Download “extracts”• Slice and dice in Excel• Time consuming and challenging• Don’t have all the data• Hard to show to management• “Shadow data systems”

KEY BENEFIT: COLLABORATION

In Real Time at the Speed of Thought.

IN MANUFACTURING

Demo

Operations:• How fast are we turning around orders? What are our Days Outstanding (DOS)

o Receive date to Ship date: By customer? By process? By Part #? By Required date?

o Receive date to Q.C. date.o Where are we missing required dates? What is causing us to miss dates?

• What are the trends? Are we getting better or worse? With which processes? Which customers?

• How efficiently are we utilizing our assets? Downtime? Patterns by shift, line, operator?

• Are we aligning production to our pre-set shipping routes?

Customers:• How can we simplify basic reporting? It takes us forever to get what

management needs.• What are our growth trends? • Do we have “good” and “bad” customers?• How can we better communicate improvements in cycle time and quality to our

customers? • How can we set proper expectations and then show that we have met them?

ANSWER KEY QUESTIONS

Finance & Strategy

• What should we do to improve return on our production assets?

• What is the actual / true cost / load?

• Where are we seeing profitability? Losses?

• What is driving the losses? Cost / pricing analysis

• Are we quoting prices correctly?

• Are there orders that we should not accept?

• Do we have anomalies and outliers? How can we generate a “variance report” for further investigation / action?

FILL MARKET “GAP”…

1. Helping People Solve Problems

2. Working with Complex Data Sets• Integrate standard commercial data with “dark, silo’d” data

• Not all data in the EDW, or no EDW

• Business people can’t query and combine these things

• Need to interact across tables; data can’t all be flattened

• Data must be synthesized to be useful (e.g., transaction recency / frequency)

3. Making Analytics Easy• Empowering business users with robust analytics tools

• “No coding” predictive modeling

4. Getting from Insight to Action• “See the stories” in next-gen visual discovery

• Take action on details & lists
