Zoho Analytics

Zoho Analytics helps you connect and import data from multiple platforms onto dashboards and analyze them all in one place.

With Zoho Analytics, you can connect to many third-party apps such as Xero, Stripe, Salesforce, Shopify, and Microsoft. You can also connect other Zoho apps such as Zoho CRM, Zoho Finance, Zoho Invoice, and Zoho Books.

After you connect the software, Zoho will import the data. You can then adjust the settings to cleanse, enrich, transform, and catalog the data. You can do this manually or use the suggestions the software provides with Smart Cleanse.  Zoho has 250+ transform suggestions that help you quickly transform data.

The software offers several visualization tools that help you visualize your data with a simple drag-and-drop interface. You can create dashboards and reports with widgets, charts, and tabular views.

To make the visuals interactive add interactive options like drill downs and contextual filters. These will make it easier for people to understand the data without an explanation. You can also add visuals to your reports to make them more interesting.

Create reports from scratch or use the pre-built templates that Zoho offers. Zoho also allows you to combine data from multiple sources and understand how your efforts work collectively. It even provides a feature called smart data blending that blends data from various apps.

Zoho’s predictive analytics helps you forecast your business metrics so you can determine whether your strategy is working or if you need to make changes. There’s a What-if analysis that helps you predict scenarios and find business outcomes. You can also set data alerts that Zoho sends to you when you reach your goals or when there are anomalies in the data.

Share reports with your team and colleagues. You can set permissions on what they can do with the reports. This could be read-only, read-and-write, or author reports. You can also comment on the reports and allow others to as well.
