Reporting tools are software applications that help users collect, analyze, and present data in a clear and organized manner. These tools enable businesses and organizations to generate reports that summarize key information, track performance, and make informed decisions. Common features include data visualization, customizable templates, and the ability to pull data from various sources. Many reporting tools integrate with other software systems, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, to streamline data collection. Popular examples of reporting tools include Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, and Google Data Studio, which cater to different user needs and technical expertise.
