Report automation
Automatically generating and distributing business reports on a schedule or trigger. PURIST builds report automations that compile data from 5–10 sources, format it, and email a PDF to leadership every Monday replacing 4 hours of manual work.
Expert insight
An automated report that silently fails to generate (an empty or partial report sent instead of an error) is worse than a report that visibly fails to send at all, since the recipient has no way to know the numbers they're looking at are incomplete, report automation needs validation that the generated report actually contains the expected data before it's sent.
In a real workflow
A weekly client report is generated from analytics and CRM data and sent every Monday.
