Do You Have That Sinking Feeling Your Numbers Aren't Telling You What You Need to Know?
Are your numbers too spread out to give you the insight you need? Do they leave you exposed, not knowing how your business is doing?
Now, imagine you know exactly what's going on in your business because you have software that pulls all the numbers together like magic. Transforming them into useful information you can use to make tough decisions with confidence. Providing your team with the information they need to work together to reach your goals.
What do you need to change to get from where you are to where you want to be?
The problem with existing reports is in the format and focus, not the information. Does everyone on your team have the time or background to read and understand Accounting, Marketing and Operations reports? How many of them will come to the same conclusions you have? Tables of numbers and reports don't give you the clarity direction you need. Text reports take too much time to develop and can be ambiguous. Which is why you need to make charts.
Charts are the Rosetta Stone for a Digital World
Charts are clear. Even poorly designed charts convey their information. Charts are focused. Charts very quickly give everyone the same understanding of your situation. They give context by showing answers to:
- Where have we been?
- Where are we now?
- Where are we going?
Charts are clear. A set of charts presents the background numbers and direction you need to get your point across. But you don't have the staff, the budget, or the time to create and maintain charts. That's where RatioWriter™ comes in.

Can't I Do This With Spreadsheets?
You could enter the numbers and build the charts you need in spreadsheets. But, if you make copies of the spreadsheet and link several spreadsheets your simple solution has quickly become a critical reporting system. Finding your numbers and verifying your formulas becomes a real problem. If you are going to base your business on these numbers you need to be sure:
- The New Numbers are Added to all of Your Tables & Charts, and
- The Formulas Changes are Made in all of Your Tables & Charts, and
- The Sources of Your New Numbers are Documented in all of Your Spreadsheets.
But spreadsheets can't address these issues. Instead you have to spend time auditing you numbers and formulas to make sure you don't have significant errors. And there is no link to the source of your numbers, so you have to maintain that manually as well. Do you have the time to audit your spreadsheets every time you add new numbers or change a formula? How many errors can you afford?
