What are the best aspects of this product?
One of the first things I experienced is the fast shift between one data analyses to another, within seconds with only one click. Dashboards are also great because I can organize and follow the reports. In addition, their Kpi meters are very easy to access and easy to use.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
We cannot set the live data with the systems we use, and that means we are day behind in the information we get from Phocas. They could make the streaming of data more accessable.

We can now easily put all the sales and epos data on easy to read table instead of working in excel.

What are the best aspects of this product?
The thing that I appreciate the most about this is how empowering it is. It is so user-friendly that users can acquire their data and quickly get the results, all without having to go through the I.T. staff middleman. Rather than having to go through a long-winded explanation and maybe even several re-dos with I.T., we've been able to use this tool to do the job ourselves. It has really sped up the work process.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
I really can't say anything negative about this tool as it has really helped us with improving the services and product we offer to users. It has always given us the results we needed and I am happy that I'm using it.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
Really, the biggest problem that this tool helped us out with was quick and accurate information access. Our salespeople can quickly get information on a customer or a product. They can easily find out whether a product is still available. This tool very quickly and efficiently provides them with results.

Phocas allows users to get to their data and get results fast. No more trying to explain to the I.T. staff what they want and then getting something different and going through the process several times before finally getting what they want. Self service is what it is all about.
As the manger of the I.T. department I am always looking for ways to improve our products and services to our users. So far, Phocas can given us results. Can't complain about that.
The best way to determine the value of PHOCAS is to 'Try it .... You'll Like it" .... sounds corny but is the truth.

One of the things I really like about Phocas is the instant report I get, also, whenever I have trouble using the app, the support team is always here to help.
