FluenceXL’s responsive charting enables data exploration through a rich ‘small multiples’ capability. Our business semantic layer maps customer data to business logic, and adds visual intelligence and consistency to the chart design process. The charts understand concepts like Actual, Plan, Forecast, and Revenues and Expenses and can plot these appropriately, fully compliant with IBCS standards.

FluenceXL table templates provide an intuitive, wizard based approach to create IBCS compliant row-dynamic tables which can be created in seconds.

A simple and consistent annotation process eases the creation of final reports for formal board communication. The process is intuitive and results can be shared in PowerPoint or through FluenceXL Web.
