Shibui-IT™ Opportunity Tracking Tool (SOT²)

Introduction

SOT² is a web-based opportunity tracking tool that provides potential users like sales representatives, field applications and managers minimum functionality required to track new business opportunities, manage and control the various design phases from concept to production and generate an overview of all existing opportunity sockets. 

SOT² Dashboard

A clear and well-designed dashboard and an intuitive user interface are at the heart of this web-based tracking tool. The SOT² is easy-to-use and can even be used by new users without consulting the SOT² tutorial.

SOT² was designed as a pure transactional input tool with minimal reporting features, since the SOT² analysis is entirely done in Shibui-IT™ BI. The main features of SOT² focus on registering and tracking new business opportunities and offer a user-friendly dashboard that minimizes the time required for data entry. The key list of SOT² features are summarized below:

List of key SOT² Features
Administration
  • User rights to read and write data
  • Assign ownership to each Customer, Opportunity and Socket
  • Establish account hierarchies with defined access rights
Funnel Management
  • Track probability of completing a business opportunity from concept to production
  • Provide update status of opportunities and sockets at all stages
Basic Data
  • The basic data set contains the primary data that applies to each opportunity
  • They are listed under the Master Data, Products and Customers Tab
  • To avoid data discrepancies, both SOT² and Shibui-IT™ BI use the same data model for product master data management (PMDM) and customer master data management (CMDM)
Variable Data
  • The variable data records contain the data necessary for each opportunity and the corresponding socket(s)
  • An intuitive input mask makes it easy to provide the required data
Reporting
  • Focus on summary reports without detailed analysis
  • Export dashboard information to Excel or pdf-file
  • Detailed analysis can be performed by Shibui-IT™ BI applications "Opportunity Health & Change, Customer Fact Sheet and Revenue Projection

Like the Shibui-IT™ BI SW Tool, the SOT² SW Module is also available as a Demo version.

Shibui-IT™ BI - Architecture

Shibui-IT™ BI is currently available as a Software IP for SAP Business Suites.

The system architecture approach allows any level of scalability and the use of advanced programming logic to transform the Shibui-IT™ Software IP into user- friendly applications.

The architecture has been designed to interface with any existing client systems irrespective of whether it is about different customer data sources or various end-user tools like desktop terminals, personal computer, tablets or smart phones.

Shibui-IT™ BI Implementation

In order to make it faster and easier to commercialize the Shibui-IT™ solution, kdm semi consulting GmbH (k•d•m) has decided to work with an “Implementation Partner”. 

The primary area of expertise of this Trusted Partner is centered around the SAP Ecosystem. 

SAP as one of the world's leading ERP providers, many of the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) are equipped with the SAP platform. These SME’s are one of the target markets for the Shibui-IT™ applications.

To leverage the full power of SAP customer data, the Shibui-IT™ applications will be embedded into the existing SAP system by (k•d•m’s) Trusted Partner.

These SAP customers can then use Shibui-IT™ to extend the reporting scope of the existing SAP data plus the existing CRM information with the unique Shibui-IT™ dashboards and applications.

While traditional BI tools provide only limited information about business performance, Shibui-IT™ not only prepares ERP and CRM data to analyze and manage business activities, but also provides decision makers at all levels of the organization with answers that would be expected after completing a business audit.
