What is
a
Customer 360 Degree Analysis Report
? Customer 360 degree reports are considered one of the most important analysis tools in a company and are often used by customer-facing employees and managers to quickly get a complete picture of a specific customer without having to manually assemble data from different systems. Some of the key functionality in this type of dashboard report is that it combines data from the company's systems that hold customer information. These typically include sales and receivables data from the ERP system, pipeline data from CRM and support data from the helpdesk system. The report is a single page, easy to read format that combines customer metrics with charts for easy analysis. The report is parameter driven and the user can run it for any customer and date range. You find an example of this type of dashboard report below.
Purpose of
360 Degree Customer Reports Companies and organizations use 360 Degree Customer Reports to speed up decisions by providing employees and managers with a very quick and easy way to see everything going on with a customer. When used as part of good business practices in a customer-facing department, a company can improve its customer-related decisions as well as reduce the chances that revenues are lost because employees make decisions without a complete customer picture.
