Case Study: Equipment Controls Company achieves companywide success with Phocas

Dynamic dashboards based on customized analytics drive companywide success

Equipment Controls Company (ECCO) needed a way to make data more accessible and usable across the business, especially for a new business analyst who was initially intimidated by the company’s reporting tools. Although ECCO had already been using Phocas for years, it wanted a simpler, more intuitive analytics platform that non-technical employees could actually adopt without extensive training.

Phocas helped ECCO build hundreds of dynamic dashboards and streamline reporting for sales, strategic planning, supply chain, and executive visibility. The vendor’s analytics and financial statements software made it possible to create reports in seconds, share information in a few clicks, and avoid the slow, manual work ECCO faced with other tools. Michelle Nelson said tasks that once took hours or even a month could now be completed almost instantly, showing a major improvement in speed, usability, and companywide access to data.
