Transform Data into Real-Time Results
Even with the proliferation of data within companies, the vast majority of data collected and created isn’t used to improve the business, or react quickly to issues, or uncover trends. Dashboards, scorecards, and KPIs all seek to do those things but, almost every time, they fail because they still require personnel and time to crunch the numbers and do the analysis across numerous systems and data silos.
Then, when delivered as weekend or month-end reports, the data is out-of-date and obsolete—so you’ve lost critical time to address issues, which adds problems and missed opportunities.
Nowsight’s Simple BI for AccountMate is a game changer, taking operational visibility—and ACTIONABILITY—to new levels by combining always up-to-date data from multiple sources in real-time.
Business runs in real-time. So should management ability.
Case Study: Seegars Fence Company
A manager at NexLAN client Seegars Fence used to have to spend 3-5 hours every weekend consolidating weekly data sent from each of their 14 branches, into a single unwieldy and quirky Excel spreadsheet. And still it was tough for people to gain useful insights from the data. And, by the time she sent out the final spreadsheet internally, the data was too old to be actionable.
Do you have someone who’s sending out regular reports like that too?
Seegars Fence added Nowsight Business Intelligence to their AccountMate system. Now branches and company management can see the data in real time, any time, in a graphical web page that’s easy to understand and act on.
That improvement and others from Nowsight transformed the company:
- They eliminated 4,000 hours annually in reporting business performance data, freeing up the equivalent of two full-time employees
- They delivered six times more data to company leadership than past reporting systems, and the information is available 24×7
“We realized we could leap 10 years forward, basically overnight, and make decisions based on real-time information. We were just blown away and thought, ‘this is going to be unbelievable.’ And it has been.”
–Ben Seegars, Seegars CEO

Imagine the power of managers and shift-leaders knowing what’s happening in real-time
In addition to classic dashboard views—even on mobile devices—alerts can be sent via text or email and set to be triggered by performance thresholds met (or missed), inventory levels hitting pre-determined levels, exception identification—or virtually any data point for real-time alerting.
