Reporting
Unicom’s gift card system automatically generates monthly reporting on the use of gift cards and the expiration of gift cards. In addition, reports can be run separately in the system. It is possible to customize the account for each customer.
Reports are normally available in PDF and Excel formats.
Automatic reports:
- Settlement report: a report of gift card transactions separated by branch and account type
- Ageing report: a report on balances that have expired during the month
Separately run reports:
- Summary of open balances
- Specification of cards in use
- Follow-up Report/Summary of Card Usage
In addition, new, customer-specific reports can be implemented into the system.
Dashboard for gift card data analysis
Unicom’s browser-based Dashboard compiles essential analytics data into an easy-to-read, graphical reporting format:
- Current Card Count and Balance Status
- Top 5 Sales and Usage by Store
- Aggregated Sales and Usage by Month
- Monthly gift card activations aging analytics
- Sales and usage analytics
