InetSoft Technology, an innovator in dashboard, reporting and analysis solutions, recently announced the selection of its business intelligence software by Livingston International, a leading North American provider of customs brokerage, transportation and integrated logistics services.

Livingston International chose InetSoft’s Style Report Enterprise to provide Web-based reporting capabilities to its own Web-based suite of applications called Insight. Livingston serves the customs brokerage and customs compliance needs of over 30,000 companies worldwide, and provides them with these capabilities:

• Real-time online access to run queries, print reports, and download information needed to manage costs and build customs compliance audit trails
• Creation of accurate and compliant export documents
• Automated customs status updates for shipments in real-time
• Viewing of import document images immediately upon processing

Livingston sought an improved reporting solution that would simplify its clients’ use of the Insight application further in the area of reporting. InetSoft’s reporting software will simplify users’ abilities to run queries, prints reports, and download all the information needed to manage costs and build customs compliance audit trails.  Users will also have that information pushed automatically to them on a scheduled basis. Among the new options will be additional formatted reports and automated data file outputs in Excel format.

Chief among the reasons InetSoft’s Style Report Enterprise was selected over the alternatives, were time to market and compatibility with Livingston’s application suite. Livingston required single-sign, Java-based technology, and sophisticated user permission hierarchies.

“We evaluated many reporting vendors and were most impressed at the speed with which the proof of concept could be developed,” stated John White, Senior Director, Information Technology at Livingston. “We found InetSoft to be the best option to meet our business requirements and integrate with our own technology.”

Style Report Enterprise is the Web-based reporting and publishing application in InetSoft’s suite of business intelligence solutions. Focusing on enterprise reporting, Style Report Enterprise provides production reports, interactive reports and ad hoc reports in a zero-client, Web environment. The reporting application’s small, 100% Java footprint, and Web architecture delivers an embedding and integration-ready platform. As a J2EE drop-in Web application, Style Report Enterprise not only integrates with the Web user interface, it also leverages the same application server platform as that of the embedding application.
