The Challenge

Florida’s Natural printer platform required constant upgrading due to an increase in sales-related information.

The paper-based reporting was cumbersome, expensive, and unproductive, leading to a growing demand for a new reporting and analytics applications platform.


The Solution

“Other previous BI solutions were extremely hard to administer, they required a substantial amount of time to implement, and the price was extreme. Dimensional Insight fulfilled our needs, the solution could be developed quickly at a reasonable cost, and we didn’t have to invest time in SQL training.”
