Advanced Analytics & Reports

Knowledge management and action based upon current and pertinent data is a major feature of Quantum’s MIA system. We firmly believe that organisations are able to transform their results through a process of effectively changing work culture by using information.

The Q-MIA enables business analysis and empowers the manager to take decisions based upon factual information that the system synthesises and presents in a variety of formats. This not only leads to better and more profitable choices, it also effectively leads to visibility of opportunities.

The work force in a company using Quantum’s MIA is an informed and enabled group, being able to efficiently deal with external and internal demands, and bring a new meaning to proactive management in shipping.

The four levels of reports cater to different need groups within the Agency. While the canned reports ? daily use, clerical and principal – are reporting oriented, the cubed/flexible reports are supervisory and managerial, enabling combinations and extend the scope of study.

However, the Analytics and Dashboards are purely management tools. The former are developed from a Business Analyst’s viewpoint, and allow maximisation of results and the ability to introspect on cause, predict effect and effect strategy or action to maximise benefits. Dashboards, on the other hand, are a Management Snapshot of their Circle of Concern, showing in graphical, digital or mapped outputs, consolidated key information.
