Challenges faced

Chemsalve was looking for a way to use their data in custom reporting to empower data-driven decision-making. Manual export of CSV files consumed time and bore the risk of human error, which could potentially negatively impact business decisions and result in inconsistencies.

01
Data consistency is essential for data-driven decision-making, empowering businesses with deep market insights based on analytics.
02
Elimination of human-made errors assists with analytics accuracy, making it possible to automatically create reliable reports.
03
Reliability of reports streamlines workflows, saving the time that used to be spent on manual manipulations with data.

The Chemsalve team required a solution to assist them with creating data-rich reports from their ERP in PowerBI and Excel since the manual data export and import process was time-consuming and error-prone. They have used the ODBC Driver for Firebird to implement reliable connectivity and level up building advanced reports.

"ODBC Driver for Firebird allows us to make on-the-fly business decisions. With it, we always have our data available to use in spreadsheets and reports."
