Using data to make strategic decisions is critical for improving margins. But gathering data that’s accurate, organized, and actionable can be overwhelming.
Crowe Metals Accelerator Analytics is a metals-specific reporting and operational analytics software solution that can pull data from multiple sources, standardize it, and create easy-to-view insights that help metals leaders make informed business decisions faster.
Data can be sliced, diced, and aggregated so you can see immediate, big-picture results and drill down to the details that matter to you – whether it’s the status of a specific delivery or how market price fluctuations affect your business.
Our solution helps you easily examine your inventory turns so that you can reduce carrying costs and stay prepared to service customers quickly. You can also compare vendor pricing on each material type to determine if you’re consistently getting the most competitive rates.
When you know where you’re making money and where you’re losing it, you can make powerful decisions to improve your bottom line. Metals companies can analyze profitability by everything from material grade to product group and processing machine.
Crowe Metals Accelerator Analytics has a suite of ready-made Microsoft Power BI™ reports and dashboards that can be tailored to meet your specific business needs.
