Descartes Systems Group , a specialist in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced the availability of Descartes Analytics, an advanced analysis and reporting solution that is designed to help enable customers to leverage the data that is contained within Descartes’ solutions.

Descartes Analytics uses Microsoft Power BI with Descartes standard integration, data models, dashboards and reporting templates.

The solution provides flexibility for users to customize their configuration and reporting, and supports integration to third-party applications. Additionally, Descartes’ data science experts can help configure the solution to meet a customer’s unique needs.

“There is a tremendous amount of additional value our customers can unlock by better understanding the data our solutions create or capture,” said Ken Wood, EVP Product Management at Descartes. “Using Microsoft Power BI, our goal was to develop an 'out-of-the-box' analytics solution that is very powerful yet cost effective and allows us to focus on leveraging our deep logistics and supply chain expertise.”
