The alternative to Excel reporting
Bissantz makes it easier than ever for users across your organization to create reliable reports
Excel reaches its limits in reporting as soon as data from multiple source systems needs to be regularly consolidated, checked, and distributed to a large number of recipients. Every copy of a workbook creates another version, formulas can be overwritten without anyone noticing, and metrics may differ from one department to another.
Bissantz significantly reduces the manual effort involved in Excel-based reporting. DeltaMaster connects to data warehouses, SAP systems, and other data sources, defines metrics consistently, and generates reports automatically. Excel remains part of the workflow when needed, with support for both importing and exporting data.
Multiple versions of the same numbers?
When Excel files are distributed by email and edited locally, multiple versions of the same metric quickly emerge. Bissantz generates all reports from a central data foundation, ensuring that every recipient sees the same numbers.
Manually consolidating data every month?
Excel-based reporting often involves exporting data from multiple source systems, copying it into spreadsheets, and linking it with formulas. Bissantz automates these steps: data flows into a central data foundation via ETL, while the reporting server generates and distributes reports on schedule.
Formula errors with no way to catch them?
Complex formulas in large Excel workbooks are difficult to audit, and an overwritten cell reference may go unnoticed until much later. In DeltaMaster by Bissantz, metrics are defined centrally and calculated using the same logic in every report.

Automate reporting,
understand your data
With Bissantz, your Excel reporting processes are modernized through decision intelligence
As an alternative to Excel for reporting, Bissantz automatically generates reports based on predefined rules. Graphical tables combine numbers with bars and sparklines directly in the cells, making proportions and trends immediately visible. This gives reports a clear focus on the most important insights and provides a solid foundation for deeper analyses.
With just a few clicks, users can navigate from an overview to the underlying details and explore relationships in greater depth. The Semantic Report Navigator uses AI to help users find answers in their data. Completed, annotated reports can be distributed as PDFs, Office documents, HTML emails, or mobile reports through the DeltaApp. This ensures that authorized users always have the right information at hand.
What Bissantz can do where Excel reporting falls short
DeltaMaster takes care of tasks that require significant manual effort in Excel reporting – from root-cause analysis and access control to commenting. Its automated navigation uses data mining methods to determine which dimension best explains a variance. Database permissions also apply in DeltaMaster and can be extended with additional permissions for individual reports and folders. Explanations can be added directly to reports and are automatically included when reports are exported.
At the same time, DeltaMaster does not have to replace Excel completely. Wherever Excel continues to be useful, individual reports or entire folders can be exported from DeltaMaster to a workbook, including their number formatting. Conversely, Excel files can also be used as data sources in DeltaMaster.
