Smart Report Maker (SRM) is an easy-to-use, PHP-based data analysis tool and full business intelligence system designed specifically for MySQL databases. It transforms raw data into actionable insights through intuitive visualizations, dynamic filtering, and advanced calculations—without requiring complex SQL or technical expertise.
With SRM, you can create unlimited dashboards and add metrics and KPIs for every important business indicator. You can compare current performance with historical data, track trends over time, and measure results against specific targets or benchmarks. Whether you’re a data analyst, business owner, or developer, SRM gives you everything you need to understand your data, monitor performance, and make smarter, data-driven decisions
SRM allows users to interactively explore data—even when analytics are embedded inside another application. With just a click, you can drill down from high-level dashboards into granular report details, uncovering the root causes behind trends and anomalies.
For example, you can start from a KPI showing total sales in the last 30 days and drill down into a detailed orders report, or move from a chart displaying orders by marketing channel to a report that lists all orders for a specific channel. This seamless drill-down experience works across dashboards, charts, and reports, whether viewed directly in SRM or embedded as interactive analytics in another system.
Visualize your data over time using sophisticated time-series charts. SRM helps you identify seasonality, growth trends, or unexpected spikes, empowering you to react quickly and plan ahead.
SRM helps you make better decisions by automatically comparing your metrics and KPIs across key reference points:
By placing these comparisons directly on dashboards and KPI widgets, SRM turns raw numbers into clear, actionable insights—without manual calculations or spreadsheets.
SRM includes powerful Pivot Table functionality, allowing users to summarize, group, and rearrange large datasets easily for deeper analysis. Learn more about Mysql Pivot Tables in SRM
