Why is Business Intelligence Important for Your Organization?

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Business Intelligence

Table of Contents

If 'why is business intelligence important' your question, chances are, you have already encountered a lot of information around it, but no filtered reason if it really makes sense for your business! Worry not, here’s your BI binge fix, from BinaryFolks, with facts. 

 

Introduction to Business Intelligence

With the total number of currently functioning startups in the USA summing up to around 71,153, the competition shouldn’t be very hard to guess, right? 
And clearly, with the number of competitors increasing with each passing year, the need of improving the business operations & offerings evidently become a compulsion. 

However, figuring out the sweet spot to build your competitive advantage is tougher than it may sound. But whether you are standing at a 0 or 5 on a scale of 10 in terms of workflow digitization, BI can take it up right from there and brew growth, if implemented thoughtfully enough. 
So, why is business intelligence important for your organization?
Details ahead!

 

Define Business Intelligence

Most articles will tell you, 
Business Intelligence, commonly abbreviated as BI, is a carefully put-together amalgamation of processes driven by a set of technologies, to extract actionable insights and factually back business decisions. 

Too much information at once, right? Let’s simplify! 
Take your business processes to be a box of jumbled puzzle pieces and the organized picture to be your business goal. Now, think of BI as the power tool handling the entire intermediate process that arranges the puzzle to match the reference image!   

Let’s have a quick look at the primary functions that comes under the scope of BI :

  1. Analyzing business data for contextual categorization & utilization
  2. Generating custom reports with advanced visualization
  3. Compiling summaries of extracted core information 
  4. Tracking business processes end-to-end

 

Why is Business Intelligence Important for your Business?

The neck-break competition is surely concerning for any business today, regardless of its size, but with business intelligence strategically slipped into your workflow, it’s a half-cracked nut already! Here’s a list of the primary areas where BI can ease your struggle (but, there’s more!) :

customer base

1. Get the Pulse of your Customers

Ever wondered how Uber Eats tells you “Hey! It’s pizza-o-clock, hungry yet?” just around your lunch-break, while your health freak sister receives a “Power up with a protein platter, princess!” notification?

Or,

How does Amazon adjust your “You may also like” to feature collapsible sippers & folding umbrellas after you ordered the last minute travel essentials and then, changes to flexi bands & dumbbells after you place an order for a yoga mat to finally shed the extra kilos post-trip? That’s just some smart BI model watching (and taking a note of!) your online activities on these sites, to sell you more, while being relevant!

Well implemented business intelligence strategies can help you understand the target customers’ ever-changing preferences by closely tracking their purchase patterns in real-time. Through building robust buyer’s personas, it helps you segment the potential customers so you can cater them better. While that comes handy for your offering line modification, it also gets you a loyal customer base (& thus, a fatter bottom-line!).

  

Better transparency

2. Gain Better Transparency

So, once I heard somebody say this at a conference while explaining why ‘tracking’ is more important than most businesses think, and that hasn’t left my head ever since. So he said, “If you track your processes well enough, the issues you face at any point in your business gets 50X easier to solve”.

Business intelligence dashboards work great towards that goal, as you get all the tracked data visualized & reported conveniently at one place. So, you can access ‘what happened - when - how’ at any point of time, with a couple of clicks, implying transparency end-to-end. While this visibility makes the process of identifying anomalies & rectifying them easier, it also adds up to the efficiency, significant time & cost saving. With this transparency benefit, BI gets the brownie points for making remote working a breeze while keeping the organizational wellbeing at the forefront too.

 

Filtered Insights

3. Boost Decisions with Filtered Insights

Let’s consider the situation, Around 2022 August, it’s time for your clothing business to plan your fall-winter stock, which also has a festive overlap (think Christmas!). Now how do you take a call on what clothing category to focus on? Luxury loungewear keeping in mind the last couple of years’ Covid restrictions that had mandated at-home celebrations,

Or,

Blingy party wear because the restrictions are now loosened? Well, that’s exactly where BI can step in, present data points clearly indicating your customers’ purchase trends over the timeline under consideration & help your decision making with the ready insights that matter! Smell revenue boost yet?

Simply put, business intelligence takes in enormous unstructured data generated by your day-to-day business operations and transforms them into actionable insights that factually support strategic decisions. As a result, you have a clear picture of customer behavior over a period of time, their preferences & what impacts them handy, so you plan your next move in-line with them, ensuring a higher ROI.

4. Operational Efficiency 

One of the ‘must-have’ features of facility management software is asset management, which enables organizations to access details, monitor, and control their facility spaces, assets, and equipment from a single platform. This increases long-term system cohesion, boots reliability, improves compliance and provides optimal functionality in the most cost-effective way. Additionally, you can also develop the asset management module of your FM software to keep track of all the physical assets and equipment of the organization using GPS and other web-based technologies.

5. Real-Time Data Management

Answering why business intelligence is important for a business is incomplete without talking about real-time data management. With an increased number of data generated from the business processes with each passing day, there’s now a need to process them instantly as they’re put in. The purpose, in most cases, is to serve the users in a more convenient way, adjusting the offering to a higher accuracy. BI stores & analyzes the production data of all kinds, starting from material data to traceability data and much more. With such constant monitoring, the process of ‘planning’ to ‘executing’ new ideas & even modifying some strategies that may not be bearing expected outcomes, become a cakewalk too.
