Software
The explosion in data proliferation we have experienced over recent years has placed increasing demands on software applications. Not only have Synovate Aztec been able to meet these demands, we have proven ourselves to be at the forefront of new technology and applications.
Our teams of software developers are experts at balancing powerful analyses with easy to use, friendly interfaces. The result of this can be seen in the popularity and success of our applications, across all levels of users
Synovate Aztec recognises that different users have different data analysis needs, and our software tools have been designed with this in mind.
For users who require the ability to work with the information at a deeper level, we have developed Temple. Temple is a powerful interactive tool designed to let users build their own reports either manually or via report wizards. The Temple interface can also be pulled directly into Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint applications via the Temple link.
Whether you are a very heavy or infrequent user of scan information, AZTEC Temple has the interface that will suit you.
QUICK AND EASY
Infrequent users can access standard reports via a menu based 'Report Wizard'.
This module provides users with 'guided analyses', where report templates are
set up and the user simply chooses the data he or she wishes to fill these
layouts. There are a number of commonly used report styles, including actual
sales, shares, promotional pricing and elasticity, ranging and SKU level
analyses.
POWERFUL FUNCTIONALITY
The interactive interface allows users to easily perform complex analyses, and
produce output in clear, understandable formats. There are advanced sets of
measures and formulas to select from, plus the ability to create custom
measures & totals on the fly. The 'Rules' tab provides power users with the
ability to apply
selection criteria to data selections such as:
- Colour coding data
- Sorting data;
- Removing/keeping data
- Formatting functions
AUTOMATIC REFRESHING OF DATA
The Report Book function in Temple allows users to easily create a
slideshow presentation. Report Books can contain charts, tabular reports, text,
or any combination, which automatically update when viewed. This feature has
several valuable time saving applications. For example category reviews and end
of month performance summaries can be updated, viewed or printed in seconds!
AZTEC Temple provides users of Microsoft Excel a direct link
to scan data. All the functionality of Temple can be accessed via a drop down
Aztec menu within Excel eliminating the need for messy 'cut-paste-resize'
steps, or complicated linking procedures.
Temple for Excel is an excellent tool for creating powerful analysis using all
the combined functionality of Temple and Excel. The user friendly Retrieval
Manager enables the easy combining and formatting of data from separate
retrievals or databases for any level of user. More advanced users will benefit
from the linking of Excel Macros into a retrieval, or the creation of a menu
driven interface.
A significant proportion of the working hours of many sales
and marketing roles are spent creating standard reporting documents. These
reports are often manually updated and very time consuming.
One of the many benefits of the Temple for Excel application is the ability to
create customised reports that update at the click of a button, saving hours
that can now be spent on other important tasks. Users can modify the input for
the report by clicking on selection buttons that allow them to choose markets,
products, measures or time periods directly from the Temple database.
Temple for Excel generates reports in Microsoft Excel, which makes it possible for users to e-mail reports to virtually any colleague, supplier or customer, and the recipient can open, read, save and print the document using software that already exists on their PC.
AZTEC Temple provides users of Microsoft PowerPoint a direct
link to scan data. All the functionality of Temple can be accessed via a drop
down Aztec menu within PowerPoint, eliminating the need for messy
'cut-paste-resize' steps, or complicated linking procedures.
Temple for PowerPoint has proved to be a valuable tool for creating
professional Category Review and Data Presentations, which can be refreshed at
the click of a button
