7. More than your average IT vendor
We believe there is more to analytics than software. The sole
purpose of having analytics should be to add “value” to your
manager’s decision making. This requires domain expertise and
the ability to fluently converse and understand your managers
problem areas. We will work closely with your managers, talk with
them in their language and give them the analytics they need in a
format they prefer, when they need it. We are an “analytics and
insights” services company for your IT admin managers.

10. Problem we are solving
Could your front-line managers?
• Be more efficient & plan better to influence outcomes rather than just react to
situations.
• Spend more time being data oriented, take decisions on data analysis, not just gut
feel.
• Be more consistent (across the company) in their actions.
• Have access to data on market trends faster.
• Have better conversations with their teams and channel partners.
• Focus on addressing root causes.
• Take the right decisions on topline & bottomline faster.
Sales managers, who are constantly on the move, need to make sense of vast amounts of
data at their disposal in MS Excel.
12. Services offered…
Daily Dashboard – All the data points that your manager ought to see first thing in morning.
One-click reports – Download standardized analysis reports in one-click. Eliminate time
spent on MS Excel Pivot.
Early warning alerts – Trigger alerts / tasks for relevant managers - SMS Mr. Shah if the
stock of Deo SKU at Apna distributor falls below 500 units.
Early warning insights – Lead analytics that tell managers to take corrective action to
influence results.
Data Explorer Technology – Managers can slice and dice their data themselves in charts.
This technology is highly appreciated by higher management who have strong analytical
skills who like playing around with their data themselves to spot trends. (demo available)
Android app – Push analytics to sales managers in-field to recommend purchase quantity at
a certain outlet.
13. Services offered…
Offline Sync mode – Field staff do not have regular access to Internet in field. JARVIS:BI
can operate in offline sync mode. When it has access to Internet, it pulls all the data it
requires and stores in locally for offline access. When the Internet returns, the data is synced
again with server.
Planner – This is where managers need to upload their plans e.g. distribution norm, sales
targets per brand and team, outlet classification norm, dead outlet norm, etc.
Product Catalog – Change JARVIS:BI programmatically as the business scenarios change
• Define geographies, sales team hierarchies, outlet data, etc. in JARVIS:BI
• Define roles and access control from PCE
• Design the look and feel, colors of the reports and system to match your brand colors
• Language Mapping: Map the terms used in IT systems (SAP, Tally, BoTree, IVY, etc.) to
JARVIS:BI
Crowd Sourced Information Manager – Allow your staff spread across cities and on-field to
capture information about competitors and merchandising in an organized way. Then, run
analytics on it to determine insights.

filter sales numbers by
sales staff, brands, SKUs,
distributors, or any other
parameters.
A pykih innovation, “Data Explorer” is a modern dashboard that allows managers to explore
large multivariate datasets (million+ records) through interactive (<30ms) visual filters.
Multivariate statistics is a form of statistics encompassing the simultaneous
observation and analysis of more than one outcome variable.
