Easy-to-Use Reporting Software For Non-Technical Users

Feb. 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Stonefield Software’s  newest database reporting software, Stonefield Query, makes it possible for non-technical managers and others to create custom reports from virtually any database or accounting software, generally in less than 60 seconds – and to do so without IT support.  

“In today’s challenged economy, it’s essential for corporate executives to manage every cost, revenue stream, prospect, client – and every aspect of manufacturing, sales and delivery,” said Stonefield CEO Mickey Kupchyk.  “Before Stonefield Query, the programming needed to get crucial information out of the best database programs used by businesses required either a heavy involvement of already over-taxed in-house IT professionals or the services of costly outside IT consulting professionals.”

Stonefield created Stonefield Query to be so intuitive that users of most popular accounting and database programs – individuals with no technology or software programming skills – can learn Stonefield Query in 30 minutes or less, and create reports in 60 seconds or less. The program was designed for those too busy to learn new software or resistant to changing the way they generate reports in a currently changing business environment.

“Under-the-gun executives need information right now – not tomorrow, but right this minute,” Kupchyk said.  “To make critical decisions, they can’t afford to wait on programmers to create the custom one-off reports.  Time is the one thing that is in ever-shorter supply.”

Wizard-driven Stonefield Query enables organizations to easily create custom reports, pivot tables and charts – and to do so far faster than with any other reporting software on the market.  Business executives, sales managers and administrative assistants who need customized business reporting – once the domain of the IT help desk or expensive outside consultants – can now create their own reports, right from their desktops.  More important, they can create whatever they need in a matter of seconds.

Stonefield Query is now available as a value add-on to: AccountMate, Alere, Goldmine, Heat and Sage’s Act!, Accpac ERP, BusinessVision, MAS 90 and 200 ERP, PRO ERP, SalesLogix and Timberline.

CTO Doug Hennig explained.  “Rather than build yet one more database reporting tool geared towards sophisticated IT professionals, our vision was to design an easy-to-use report generator targeted at the 99% of businesspeople who aren’t technically inclined.  We take care of all the hard programming so business people can simply select the information they want.  Stonefield Query’s report-generating wizard will do the rest, automatically formatting the output without knowledge of mapping to meet their most exacting specifications.  Reports are generated almost instantly, without the cost of custom programs or delays caused by waiting on over-extended IT professionals.”

“This ease of use means a significant and sustained savings for our customers,” Kupchyk explained. “We offer our end-users not just greater flexibility – we also offer them significant savings in creating the very reporting tools they need in order to successfully manage their businesses more efficiently.”

Stonefield Software is allied to Stonefield Systems Group, which for more than 20 years has been one of the largest and one of North America’s most successful Sage Software resellers.  “This day-to-day focus on the needs of end-users gave us an excellent perspective on what a truly innovative report generator would have to do, as well as what resellers could hope to sell to their business clients,” Kupchyk said.  “We spent years doing the heavy programming work so clients don’t have to — bulletproofing and field-testing Stonefield Query before we brought it to the market, ensuring that it would work seamlessly with Sage Software’s accounting packages.”
