What is Data Analytics?
Data Analytics is the process of examining raw data to draw conclusions, identify trends, and support business decisions using statistical methods and visualisation tools.
Analytics Maturity Levels
Descriptive Analytics (what happened — standard ERP reports), Diagnostic Analytics (why it happened — drill-down, root cause analysis), Predictive Analytics (what will happen — forecasting, ML models), and Prescriptive Analytics (what should we do — optimisation models, recommendations). Most businesses start at descriptive and aspire to predictive.
Business Analytics with ERPNext
ERPNext provides descriptive analytics out of the box (200+ reports, dashboards). For deeper analysis: export ERPNext data to Power BI (connect via ERPNext API or MariaDB direct connection), Google Data Studio, or Metabase for cross-module analytics and ML-driven forecasting. Infonoxe builds custom BI dashboards on top of ERPNext data.
