Scheduled Reports

For the data-driven retailer, these reports can provide incredible insight and knowledge to aid in decision making. In addition, because these reports are set to be delivered on a schedule, sending the reports around to everyone is one less thing you have to worry about. When the reports are scheduled and sent, your recipients will receive them in an email in a format of your choosing (e.g. PDF). This allows your report recipients to obtain the needed data in their preferred format instead of having to convert it.
With Scheduled Reporting in Catapult, any report can be scheduled, even custom reports. This empowers you to receive the data you need, when you need it.
