Operations manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Octelas allows people to make good informed decisions based on real information" November 10, 2017 5.0 Pros For many many years we struggled to get any meaningful information or data out of our system and unless you were an expert with Excel and/or ODBC this usually meant that any data was usually not quite what was needed or needed further processing. Octelas has been a revelation, authorised users can now easily get to the data themselves and in the format of their choosing. Users can click and drag the data headings to develop and design their own reports exactly how they want them and the favourite report function allows useful or frequently used reports to be saved so the data is only a couple of clicks away. The easy access to the information really allows good informed decisions to be made as well and easy monitoring of performance in all area's of the business. The support we have received from Illuminis has been excellent and we have always had very quick and positive responses to any queries we have had. I just wish I could give more than 5 Stars Review Source David P. Finance Manager Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, flexible and adds great value to the business.

It lets me look closely at customers sales and also I use it a lot to ensure that pricing is correct in our system Cons Waiting for updates in the evening for that days info.I would like info live, but I appreciate that the Illuminis sytemhs to transfer at the end of a day when no-one is keying into our office system that we use to generate customer orders.

November 13, 2017 5.0 Pros Ease of use, needing virtually no training for our staff. It allows us to have the data we need presented in exactly the format we want - we don't have to choose from a limited set of reports or indulge in hours of complex data extraction and modelling - what we want is instantly available. The push reporting function also means that issues are instantly highlighted and reported to the necessary person for action, we don't have to remember to look for issues, or undertake monthly checks - it means the data is used to drive our business making us ever more efficient. Cons There is absolutely nothing about this system that I do not like. It is simple, yet powerful, and a joy to use. Review Source GL Gordon L.

The Customer Service is incredible, nothing is too much trouble. Cons Nothing to dislike really, it does what it said it would do. A little more, user customisation for some basic tasks within the filtering area of the software, would be of benefit cometimes - you never ask for all the formats you think you'll need.
