Turn foundation data into finance insight.

4th Sight provides a portal of prebuilt visualisations to help recruitment finance teams understand performance, controls, exceptions and trends across joined-up foundation data.

The visualisation layer is underpinned by Power BI, so bespoke requirements can be delivered efficiently. Customers can also use the same foundation data to support reporting tools already used within their organisation.

Auto Insights for variance analysis

Auto Insights can help users understand what changed, why it changed and where to focus attention.

Why did margin change?
Which clients drove the variance?
Where did revenue improve or decline?
Which branches or teams need attention?
What changed since the prior period?
What should finance review next?
