-
Reporting & Analytics
The core of PeopleSense Analytics is its Reporting & Analytics engine. This is included standard with every installation, and it is often the only part clients require. It provides hundreds of manufacturing-centric dashboards, charts, and reports, all with continuous, hyperlinked drill-down capabilities that empower you to explore deeper levels of detail.
Crucially, the PeopleSense Reporting & Analytics engine spans financial and operational data from your Made2Manage® (M2M®) solution. This means you can access flexible, customizable analytics for manufacturing and gain clear visibility into your bills of materials, job shortages, purchasing, inventory, and labor — as well as your revenue, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger.
-
MRP Simulation Engine
Modern manufacturing requires agility, which is why PeopleSense Analytics offers an optional MRP Simulation Engine that provides fast, effective “what if” modeling on demand. Using your integrated data, the PeopleSense solution gives you the power to assess the real-world impact of changes to your demand, supply, lead times, inventory levels, and more without altering your live ERP data.
Robust, flexible, and intuitive, the MRP Simulation Engine delivers results in seconds, even when you are working with large datasets. Since it provides you with fast, full visibility, you can stay informed about issues, delays, conflicts, and root causes and then compare your options to make confident decisions about whether to push, pull, or cancel purchase orders.

Buyer’s Workbench
Running a successful manufacturing company is hard work. Making purchasing decisions should be easy. With PeopleSense Analytics’ Buyer’s Workbench, you can leverage AI and advanced workflow automation to find the best deals and achieve total efficiency in your purchasing.
Using the Buyer’s Workbench, you will enjoy an “Amazon-like” shopping experience that allows you to build your shopping list based on your priorities and assisted by relevant information such as your lead times or preferred vendors. To speed the process, advanced AI analyzes your purchasing options and makes intelligent recommendations, which you can modify as needed.
