An Easy Guide to Smarter, Faster Reporting with SmartView for Dynamics GP
If your organization uses Microsoft Dynamics GP, you already know it’s a powerful ERP system for managing your operations. But let’s be honest — when it comes to reporting, the default tools can sometimes slow you down. That’s where SmartView for Dynamics GP comes in.
As a KTL Solutions client, you can take advantage of this add-on to make reporting faster, easier, and far more intuitive. Think of SmartView as your upgraded, user-friendly data viewer — helping you find insights faster and make confident business decisions.
What Is SmartView for Dynamics GP?
SmartView is an enhanced reporting tool designed to replace and expand upon GP’s native SmartList. Built by eOne Solutions, it integrates seamlessly with your Dynamics GP environment — and KTL Solutions can help you implement and customize it to fit your business needs.
It can run inside GP or as a standalone desktop application, giving users a faster, cleaner, and more modern way to work with data.
