Online Event Reporting: Is It Good or Bad?

There are many ways to generate reports on the completion of an event. One such way is the online reporting system. Many big and small corporate firms are using this method to simultaneously produce reports on multiple areas, post-event. The rising popularity of the online reporting system can be attributed to its nature of cost effective operations and user-friendly interface.

Let's have a look at the main benefits of implementing an online reporting system.

Easy Accessibility

You can access the reporting portal anytime you wish to, via any web enabled device such as Smartphones, laptops, etc. This easy accessibility of the Cloud-based reporting module on a 24/7 basis is a primary reason behind the popularity of this platform amongst the new generation corporate honchos.

Creation of Numerous Reports

You can generate an endless number of customized reports over the internet. This means you don't have to indulge in the age old time consuming process of manually entering data on multiple spreadsheets. Rather, you can retrieve the data in minutes directly from the registration forms submitted by the participants.

Additionally, you can produce multiple reports at the same time like sales, revenue, registration, payment, and so on. Moreover, whether you have organized a single event or multi-location events on the same day, generating reports will no longer be an issue once you start using the Cloud-based reporting app.

Real-time Feedback

You can generate reports almost instantly just after the end of a meeting or a conference. Since the module is available online, so anyone from the event management side can log onto the dashboard to complete the reports creation process in real-time.

Automatic Data Capture

Cloud-based reporting systems often come with the facility of online data capture. Tradeshows and similar other event organizers capture data using apps such as bar code scanning, mobile computing, voice and RFID recording. Now, data captured via multiple apps can be uploaded on to PCs and this information can then be provided via the same reporting portal.

Easy Storage of Reports

Once the reports have being created, one can easily store such reports either in his/her PC or on the company's centralized database to allow it be accessed anytime by anyone. In case, you want to restrict the access of some reports, you can do that easily by making selected reports password protected.

Cost Saving Method

Through the usage of such an online system, you can eliminate manual data collection, data review, and re-entry of information. This saves on significant labor costs as well as productivity time for generating reports in whichever format you wish to.
