Desktop and browser access from the same report definitions
Crimson Reporting supports the Crimson Retail Suite and Crimson Payments desktop applications, while Crimson WebAPI makes the same report scripts available through a browser-based implementation.
- Consistent report logic across desktop and web
- Predefined and customer-specific report categories
- Quick View, print and export workflows
- Flexible criteria for stores, dates, ranges and other business filters
- Operational, retail and payment reporting
Reporting Experience
Find, filter and generate the information you need
Reports are organized by category and can be searched, marked as favourites and limited using report-specific criteria.
Favourites
Group frequently used reports into a dedicated favourites section for faster access.
Flexible Criteria
Filter by stores, date ranges, predefined periods, codes, ranges, free-form values and true-or-false selections.
Quick View
Preview report data in a browser-friendly layout before printing or exporting.
Formatted Reports
Produce formatted output when a report template is available, including portrait or landscape presentation and defined column formatting.
CSV & Excel Export
Export report results to comma-delimited or Microsoft Excel formats, with optional column headers.
Custom Reporting
Create and deploy new reports quickly
Crimson Reporting is designed to support rapid report creation. A report may be as simple as a report-definition script, or it can include a formatted template and multiple user-selectable parameters.
This gives Crimson and qualified customer teams a practical way to extend reporting without rebuilding the reporting interface.
Script-Driven Definitions
Define report names, categories, descriptions, SQL queries and criteria in reusable report scripts.
Up to Nine Parameters
Configure dropdown lists, date ranges, dates, strings, value ranges, multiple ranges and Boolean options.
Optional Templates
Add formatted templates for printed output while keeping Quick View and export workflows available.
Reusable Across Interfaces
Use the same report scripts in desktop reporting and through Crimson WebAPI.
Report Coverage
Reporting across retail operations and payments
Crimson includes a broad library of standard reports, with customer-specific reporting added as needed.
Sales
Sales summaries, transaction details, products, departments, vendors, customers, employees, cashiers, tenders and time-based analysis.
Inventory
Inventory status, counts, movements, adjustments, serial-number history, purchase orders, receiving and transfer activity.
Payments
Credit authorization, settlement, deposits, remittance, tender history, suspended transactions and payment reconciliation.
Operations
Shifts, payroll, security, employee activity, store status, audit information, configuration and exception reporting.
Automated Distribution
Configure reports for email delivery
Crimson Reporting supports report-email configuration through an SMTP service. Reports can be assigned recipients and subject lines, then generated and distributed using the reporting process.
- SMTP, SSL and TLS configuration options
- One or multiple report recipients
- Report-specific subject lines
- Target individual reports or process all configured reports
Desktop Reporting
Integrated with Crimson Manager
Users can launch reporting directly from supported Crimson Manager dialogs, from the specialty reporting menu or from the Windows environment.
Existing operational context can be carried into reporting so users can move from managing data to viewing, printing or exporting it.
Web Reporting
Available through Crimson WebAPI
Crimson WebAPI extends reporting to a browser-based experience while preserving the same report scripts and report-selection logic.
This supports broader access for authorized users without requiring the full desktop application at every workstation.
