• Access to real-time data: this is especially useful for businesses – such as in CPG and FMCC – that need to quickly respond to changes in customer behavior or market trends.
• Customization: customize your dashboards to fit your specific needs and preferences.
• Collaboration: multiple users, even third-party stakeholders, can view and edit dashboards without having to have access to VisitBasis.
