What was the best part about using Phocas Software?

With this program being both cloud-based and desktop, it has made it a lot easier to get things done in a short amount of time. Everything is integrated into one place, which is what small businesses need to stay on top of the game. The reports it provides are easier to understand and can be tailored to the needs of the user so that they can make the most of the results. Having a free trial version also makes it easy for business owners to try it before they buy it, so they're not wasting money on taking a risk. They'll have no problems adapting to this software either, as it couldn't be easier to use.

What would you change about your experience with Phocas Software?

One area where Phocas falls down in is removing the ability to perform fast calculations that could have been done with the data was highlighted. The added step of importing everything into Excel to create spreadsheets makes it more difficult to get tasks done in a timely manner. Adding a few more features to the program would smooth out these imperfections and make it a more rounded piece of software.

Overall Feedback

It's definitely one of the most recommended pieces of business software that will take care of all of the hard work with just a click of the button. Ideas can be converted into data to ensure that they're moving in the right direction. In fact, Phocas will effectively running the business for you and allow you to focus on the more important aspects of staying afloat in the market. When any problems aise the helpful customer service is there to answer all of your questions and ensure you're on the right track when using Phocas properly to maximize your business.

What was the best part about using Phocas Software?

Phocas allows us to know what are the information we need from the pricing to the products details. Even a price change can be witnessed with the help of Phocas. Even we could able to understand about our business in a different point of view we haven't known its possible. It's was quite challenging to use but it's a worthy effort in bringing out our true value.

What would you change about your experience with Phocas Software?

Phocas produces the reports in charts too which is a great feature to learn about the output without going through numerous pages of analysis and financial reports. By going through the chart is an excellent idea but it hasn't materialised as they have planned since it isn't easy to prepare or print a chart with better images or shapes or vivid colors.

Overall Feedback

Because of Phocas, I have reduced the effort of the manual works and it took few minutes for us to take the reports. We used to go through their learning materials to know more about the software which helped us in using it more than what we have expected from it. It works as if its an alternate to our ERP.

What was the best part about using Phocas Software?

Navigation at ease is one of the best part in phocas software . I like also the way one can look at past and present performance. Accessibility is the another feature which needs to be mentioned as one of the best. One can access any details through internet from anywhere You can export data to multiple sources You can view from a line level to an highly arrogated level and everywhere in between You can assign multiple security levels to multiple user

What would you change about your experience with Phocas Software?

There is nothing much about the worst part.I have concerns on the reports which can be exported. Format like excel,word should be supported. The only thing that I dislike is the learning curve. It is so hard to see the potential of this software and not be able to utilize it instantly. Training is the key and hands on usage. Each week I learn more ways that I will utilize this in my daily business.

Overall Feedback

I would recommend this product because of the easy implementation process. Mainly will be useful for people in Sales department where they can track the sales performance easily. You can go for all your reporting needs. More on-line examples of connections to other databases and also examples of Vac file models that would be typically useful for a business

What was the best part about using Phocas Software?

‘Intelligently devised BI tool’ is the most appropriate term to describe this excellent software. This software is fairly good tool to analyse the data, pertaining to the specific business and speculating the future prospect and opportunities to grow. Its superb reporting ability simplifies the complex data and put it in a format that can be understood quite easily. The UI is also very fascinating and helps in finding the exact data that you are looking for. Its ability of producing detailed analysis of various parameters proves beneficial in forecasting the trends in business. Apart from this, the software is fairly easy to install and its customer service unit helps you diligently in exporting your earlier data without any loss.

What would you change about your experience with Phocas Software?

The software gives excellent results within its limit. However, its analysis totally depends upon the analysing capabilities of the user, as it does not come with the ability of advanced analytic methodologies. While, its ability of formatting the data is remarkable, the user has to learn by himself the trend he/she is looking for. Apart from that, sometimes, the reporting mechanism feels very stout, as there is no way you can compare the data across product line-up.

Overall Feedback

Considering the limited forecasting capability of Phocas, this software is very useful for those who are not looking for a very deep and complex detailing of the business intelligence. The software proves very handy in managing the workforce and planning out the available resources, which in turn, might help the companies in streamlining all the business-related procedures and generating more revenues. It is just a perfect alternative to get the in-depth knowledge of sales, budgets or profit/loss margins, which may immensely help in making strategies for the future. Highly recommended for small-size and mid-size businesses.

What was the best part about using Phocas Software?

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. Time saved is beyond value. The product is very user friendly. Easy to get the numbers and reports I need on a daily basis. It just feels natural. The data is pulled from our system and updated daily which is also nice. Really happy to use this product and will be using in future.

What would you change about your experience with Phocas Software?

It may be something that I just have no been introduced to, but I would like to see a training tool- I am completely self taught. - often pull into excel to build reports - Support center has dropped the ball on a couple of support issues Nothing else I think bad about the Phocas software

Overall Feedback

I like the Simple interface and the ease to use the product. It does not require much training to get started and most of it just feels natural. The data is pulled from our system and updated daily which is also nice. ease of use just like their company motto - Keep It Simple I like the ease with which I can look at our numbers (sales, inventory, etc).

What was the best part about using Phocas Software?

Phocas allows you to compare sales over time which is very useful for upper management to take decisions. It also compares and produces info based on data of Sales vs No Sales, Gap Analysis, Sales Performance Comparison and trend analysis. I like the way phocas combines sales history and VRM activities.

What would you change about your experience with Phocas Software?

There is very little which I don't like about this software as Phocas has everything we need to analyze our data. . Sometimes it can be difficult to pull the desired data in a easy to view format. It would be nice if they highlight some tricky functions and upload some manuals for how to use them; like how to use the location part of Phocas that show geographically where are business is coming from.

Overall Feedback

Phocas is a business intelligence software. Phocas is a governed data discovery application with an HTML5/Javascript presentation layer, Microsoft.NET business logic layer and Microsoft SQL Server database layer. It is easily accessible, Nicely designed dashboard with user intuitive and very flexible. . Designed for non-technical users, Phocas delivers a simple yet powerful analytical capability that quickly turns data into a chart, graph or map at the click of a mouse or touch of a screen.

What was the best part about using Phocas Software?

This tool "Phocas" gives us the ability to look at our business from every angle. Analysis from a wide view for operations, to very detailed data for specific requests, all available within seconds. Personalized information for each user gives us the ability to directly affect each users effectiveness on a daily basis. This tool is a fairly intuitive tool that most people familiar with computers should be able to use. It is quick and allows to look at data in many different ways. It allows access to data that otherwise would only be available in limited format and at the end of the month.

What would you change about your experience with Phocas Software?

One of the most difficult thing is that you can no longer perform quick basic calculations such as average, sum by highlighting the data. you have to export to excel in order to do it. Also, I have seen some bugs when trying to build calculations or advanced searches. Customer support is fantastic, but the programmers willingness to delve into the bugs can be a challenge.

Overall Feedback

From my understanding, most of these systems need IT support. Once Phocas is set up, it requires little IT support which means it's functionality is really designed for the end user. Also, the flexibility in the drill down makes once difficult info to mine, very easy for mine. One more point is that this tool has helped with margins as we can clearly see which customer groups aren't in line with where they should be.

What was the best part about using Phocas Software?

Phocas has a very simple yet powerful front end and makes data manipulation a doddle. Based upon the underlying technologies -accessing critical info on the fly has never been easier, especially in our current cloud based 'migration'. A very impressive and well polished product that will appeal to a broad range of end users. Ease of navigation through the different areas and parameters. Also the easy ability to look at past versus present performance. Without doubt the versatility of Phocas is its greatest feature. From anywhere and from any internet device I can access all the information I require.

What would you change about your experience with Phocas Software?

There is very little I dislike about Phocas but if I was being critical I would say that being able to build queries in a more intuitive way would provide greater benefit. Also I am expecting Improved ability to import and in particular maybe an Outlook integration capability for Data transport.

Overall Feedback

Highly recommended tool for the review of purchasing and buying behavior. Also provides easy to track sales performance down to individual client levels. Being able to utilize customer sales information regarding products and align our offerings towards the gaps is proving to be very useful. Targeting sales resource towards these opportunities allows our people to develop greater reasons to call and increases productivity from the same personnel.
