The Old Way vs. The B1 Ask Way

See how B1 Ask transforms your daily SAP reporting workflow

Without B1 Ask

Crystal Reports complexity

Opening Crystal Reports, writing SQL, formatting layouts. Every report takes 15-30 minutes to build.

Waiting for IT

Need a custom report? Submit a ticket and wait days or weeks for IT to build it.

Excel export chaos

Export raw data to Excel, manually build pivot tables and charts. Version control nightmare.

Report overload

Hundreds of saved reports with cryptic names. Which one has the right filters? Which is current?

Wrong data, wrong format

Reports with unnecessary columns, wrong date filters, outdated parameters. Fixing takes another round trip to IT.

With B1 Ask

Ask in plain language

Type "Show me top 10 customers by revenue this quarter" and get results in seconds. No SQL, no design tools.

Instant self-service

No tickets, no waiting. Any team member can get the data they need, when they need it.

Query your SAP database directly. No stale exports, no version conflicts. Interactive charts included.

One interface for everything

No more hunting through saved reports. Just ask your question — B1 Ask remembers your favorites.

Exactly what you need
