Practical use cases and examples

Sales analysis

Suppose you want to analyze your sales data from NetSuite, breaking it down by product and region. You could use the Pivot columns step to create a matrix-style report, with products as the rows, regions as the columns, and the sum of sales as the values. This would allow you to quickly identify your top-selling products in each region and spot any trends or anomalies.

Inventory management

If you need to track inventory levels across multiple warehouses, you could use the Pivot columns step to create a report that shows the current stock levels for each item in each location. This would give you a clear, at-a-glance view of your inventory, making it easier to identify any imbalances or potential stockouts.

Financial reporting

For your financial reporting, you might want to transpose your general ledger data from NetSuite, with accounts as the rows and time periods as the columns. This would allow you to easily compare your performance across different time frames and identify any significant changes or trends in your financial data.

By using Parabola to transpose and pivot your NetSuite data, you can unlock new insights, streamline your workflows, and make more informed business decisions.
