Make data analysis and running reports a breeze
“While NetSuite reporting is good, it isn’t always easy to generate and access interactive reports quickly. The ERP’s reports are often static, meaning it will show you one thing, and one thing only, whereas if we do it in Phocas, it’s very quick for us to twist and turn data.”
Terry Fagan, ICT Operations Manager, Hairhouse
