Business Intelligence in Fortune Maritime Solution

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central collects data daily, covering potentially all departments of a maritime company. At some point the volume and type of data is such that it is hard for a human to get insight of the underlying information, identify problems and make decisions. This is where our business intelligence reporting comes into place: it groups and analyzes data in a graphical manner, conveying information instantly to the end user. The end user, either a user in a specific department of the maritime company, or a member of the management team can get up-to-date, accurate information organized in a manner that allows interaction and drill down.
