The one and only face for any project in retail business is the accuracy, timeliness and ease of it's reporting tool. We understand this very well hence provide this service as a specific offering.
We expertise in Oracle provided tool OBIEE and bring to you a set of pre-configured reports running on Oracle Retail. These reports are primarily based on your operational needs. Our gradual methodology takes you from day to day needs to weekly / monthly requirements and then towards strategically analytical reports. The projects of such kinds may be executed in phases or can be delivered after gaps when one phase is implemented.
This is the only area where Abalone consciously decided to avoid any Fast Track implementations since we understood that building and delivering a set of reports has no meaning till users trust the same and know which actions to take. Such activities take time and we allow the value to sink into your business and have intermittent engagement.
For retailers who are looking for speed to get their agreed reports to be built for ease of use we can easily commit to a development time of 3-4 days for each operational report (from requirement finalization to deliver for UAT).
