Written by Greg Mandy

Let's take a look!

Within Service Geeni's Business Intelligence module, you'll find the Reports section, which gives you visibility across the information recorded throughout the system, helping you monitor day-to-day activity, identify outstanding work and review business performance.

Rather than trying to use every report available, start with the reports that support the areas of Service Geeni your business uses most frequently.


Getting There

To get there:

  • Navigate to Business Intelligence.

  • Then, select Reports.

The reports available to you depend on your Module and Access Rights. If you cannot see a report you expect to have access to, enable it via the User Settings menu.


Use Filters to Focus Your Reports

Most reports include filters that allow you to narrow the information displayed.

The filters available depend on the report.

Start with the broad information you need and then apply the appropriate filters to make the report more relevant, such as Site and Period for a Job report.


Report Types

Reports are grouped according to the different areas of Service Geeni.

For businesses using the core service workflow, some of the most useful areas to become familiar with are:


Records Reports

These reports provide information held against your core records, including:

  • Service Contracts

  • Contracts Due for Renewal

  • Quotations

  • Job Quotations

  • Customer & Prospects Contacts

These can help you review your customer and contract information and identify areas that may require action.


Equipment Reports

Equipment reports provide visibility of the equipment you manage.

For example, you can identify:

  • Equipment with outstanding service contracts

  • Equipment with no service contract

  • Equipment warranty information

  • Root cause information

  • Mean Time to Failure

  • Mean Time to Resolve

These reports become particularly useful as your equipment history builds within Service Geeni.


Stock Reports

If you use Service Geeni to manage stock, reports are available for areas including:

  • Stock valuation

  • Stock receipts and issues

  • Stock history

  • Slow-moving stock

  • Stock replenishment

  • Stock by location

  • Stock takes

  • Outstanding purchase orders

These reports help you understand where stock is, how it is moving and where further action may be required.


Scheduling Reports

Scheduling reports provide visibility of your jobs, engineers and upcoming service activity.

Useful reports include:

  • Current Jobs

  • Jobs

  • Oldest Ten Open Jobs

  • Partially Completed Jobs

  • Services within a Date Range

  • Response Times

  • Engineers without Assigned Jobs

For example, Current Jobs can be filtered by details including period, job, site, job state, job status, engineer and job type, making it useful for reviewing your current workload.


Finance Reports

Finance reports allow you to review financial information generated through Service Geeni.

Available reports include:

  • Branch Invoicing

  • Spend Summary

  • Invoicing to Date

  • Invoice Yearly Comparison

  • Revenue Cost Analysis

The Spend Summary, for example, brings together spending information from jobs, contracts, stock, labour and travel, equipment and sales orders.
