Setting up saved searches and reports to email automatically can save time and get information into the hands of those who need it quickly.
Reports can be scheduled to send to specific employees, but also vendors or customers. This feature is helpful to send daily inventory reports, sales reports, marketing reports, time off reports and more. The administrative benefits of schedule reports span across all business departments.
