ORG
One organized reporting library
Centralize and organize reports, dashboards, KPIs and supporting content so users can find the right information without relying on personal folders, exports or disconnected files.

More control for end users
Give users an easier way to adjust reports, filters and views themselves, reducing the dependency on developers for every presentation change while preserving governed data and definitions.
CHT
Richer visual analysis
Use a broader range of chart and visualization options to make trends, exceptions and relationships easier to understand than a traditional static ERP report.

KPI
Ready-made content and KPIs
Start with out-of-the-box reports, dashboards and KPIs where available, then extend them for the organization instead of beginning every reporting project from a blank page.
DB
Consolidate multiple ERP databases or tenants
Consolidate multiple databases or tenants of the ERP first, then bring legacy data from other ERP systems into one reporting experience, subject to the connector and implementation.
Designed for adoption
Make reporting useful after go-live.
Nectari helps reporting become a shared, repeatable experience: users can consume dashboards, explore details, reuse workbooks, receive scheduled outputs and work from consistent KPI definitions.
Designed for scale
Move heavy analysis out of transactional workflows.
For high-volume ERP environments, a dedicated BI layer can handle analytical workloads separately while the ERP remains focused on transactions and operational processes. The right architecture depends on the data volumes, refresh approach and implementation.
