A capability coming soon
Sage Intacct write-back is planned to make ERP updates faster and more familiar.
When available, teams will be able to prepare and review Sage Intacct data in a familiar workbook experience that replicates the flexibility people value in Excel, then write approved changes back to the ERP. The goal is to reduce exports, manual re-entry and the gap between analysis and action while saving time; final availability and supported scenarios should be confirmed before making it part of a project commitment.
What Nectari adds beyond the ERP
A complete reporting experience, not just another set of ERP reports.
ERP-native reports are valuable for operational questions. Nectari adds the flexibility, usability and publishing capabilities needed to turn ERP data into a reporting program that the wider organization can use and maintain.

Flexible reports and workbooks
Build reports with layouts that fit the question instead of forcing every requirement into a fixed ERP format. Combine multiple reports, views, calculations and analysis in workbooks for a richer working experience.

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.
DIY
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.

Reporting for multiple languages
Support multilingual reporting and distribution when teams, customers or legal entities work across countries and languages, subject to the configured data and report translations.

Complete reporting packs
Assemble a cover page, index, multiple reports, dashboards and supporting analysis into one professional PDF reporting pack for management, board or customer distribution.
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.
