The user navigates to the relevant report page and is then asked to use “point and click” boxes to make their selection of the parameters they want to work with. At each stage the chart changes to reflect the choices made.

Simple charts are used wherever possible together with more complex charts such as that shown (below right) that uses both vertical axes to better show sales on various time scales to best advantage.

On other charts (below) multiple lines are shown using a single axis but with the information partitioned into manageable selectable sections.

Tables are also used in KingPinä systems, They are usually linked to the charts in the system so that data in a chart can easily be viewed and even exported to a separate spreadsheet for further analysis.

Other reports, e.g. comparative indexed market share calculations, lend themselves better to tabular display (below) than charts.

All reports are printable if hard copy is desired.

Systems are updated  by programme controlled spreadsheet using whatever data source is provided, e.g. in-house databases, third party purchased data, etc. and circulated to users on whatever frequency is required, e.g. monthly, weekly.

KingPinä Sales Reporting Systems are built upon proven models to meet your Company's specific requirements. The systems use MS Excel as the medium for displaying the information. The database behind the system can vary dependant upon data volumes.

Turning large masses of sales data into useful, accurate and timely information that can reliably help your workforce to plan their activities better is essential if you wish to create or maintain your competitive edge in  the market place. KingPinä systems do just that. Canna Consulting Limited draw upon their skills to analyse what you wish to obtain from the data and how to present this in a day to day field situation in a robust system.

The systems are menu driven and use only a “point and click” level skill requirement on behalf of users to control navigation and parameter selection. Representatives can concentrate on the information and its implications not on handling the system.

KingPinä systems make extensive use of Excel charts and tables to show the information to the user.

KingPinä systems are built using Microsoft Office Applications, most notably Microsoft Excel, which has the benefit of being a familiar tool to most users. The systems use "point and click" methods so very few complex procedures are included at the user interface. This helps ensure the cooperation of users who may not be fully computer literate or comfortable.

Systems are menu driven and use drop down menus of options to simplify the operations. Information is usually presented as charts wherever possible for the visual communication impact but with an alternate table being available accessed by a separate button.

Canna Consulting Limited can provide a range of options with KingPinä systems from system analysis and specification, through systems development iterations to installation and systems training. This can be just for users or for internal administrators of the system. As a further service Canna Consulting Limited can provide on-going maintenance for the systems on a routine basis that can include other services such as provision of system Help Desk facilities.
