In the outdoor equipment sector, working from outdated or inflexible tools is a common frustration. Static Excel sheets and fixed-format summaries might tick the compliance box, but they don’t help you move your business forward.
“It’s only Excel… you just got that table and it’s fixed,” said Laura McCluskey, Business Analyst, Husqvarna, Australia.
For Laura, the switch to PowerStats meant freedom. Not just to explore the data, but to use it meaningfully.
“By choosing PowerStats… I can make it more customised,” she said.
From static tables to smart visuals
One of the features Laura valued most was the ability to turn raw numbers into clear insights – fast.
“My favourite features [are] within the visualisation. Being able to instantly transform what looks like a mountain of data into a picture,” she explained.
Instead of waiting for someone to crunch numbers or build a deck, users can pull exactly what they need – by product line, by channel, or by region – and act on it.
Better tools mean a stronger industry
The benefits don’t stop at the individual company level. According to Laura, sharing insights industry-wide helps raise the bar for everyone.
“If you can share that within the industry… that propels the whole industry forward,” she said.
