DeepSee makes Timecost Solutions more competitive
Timecost Solutions (TCS) is a leading New Zealand developer of financial management software. Their Caché-based ORCA Financial application enables clients around the world to manage their businesses and quickly make decisions based on information, not guesswork. TCS used InterSystems DeepSee to embed real-time business intelligence capabilities within ORCA Financials.
Colleen George, managing director of
Timecost Solutions, thinks that DeepSee
gives TCS a competitive edge because it
helps clients identify business problems and opportunities more accurately
and quickly. “DeepSee provides a value-added edge that makes our software
more marketable,” she says. “It has enabled us to provide our clients with
business intelligence that is real-time, user friendly, and actionable. Timecost
Solutions can now offer more value than our competitors, while playing a
more strategic role in our customers' businesses.”
Peter McInnes, a kitchenware distributor based in Australia, has already benefited from ORCA Financial’s embedded business intelligence capabilities. The company increased its revenues following Timecost Solutions’ implementation of dashboards based on DeepSee, providing the management team with access to up-to-date key performance indicators relating to sales.
“We can now offer more value than our competitors while playing a more strategic role in our customers’ businesses.”

DeepSee allows managers at Peter McInnes to drill down deeply into operational data within ORCA Financial. This gives the distributor the ability to perform real-time, detailed sales analysis and to respond quickly to changes in the business while working more strategically with the retailers it supplies. For example, Peter McInnes can help retailers improve their revenues by identifying the best products to sell. “We are now seeing more sales with less effort required from our sales representatives,” says Alan Coupe, general manager at Peter McInnes.
In addition to providing a competitive edge, embedding DeepSee improves the speed and cost-effectiveness with which Timecost Solutions can provide business intelligence capabilities to its clients. DeepSee is quick and easy to configure and no data warehouse is required. “With DeepSee, you don’t have to extract the data, which means there are no issues with data integrity. That makes it a lot simpler and easier to support,” says George.
