andara app review: control your business from your iPad

Introduction

andara by Business & Strategy is a great offering in the iPad business apps category. 

With your box.com account you’ll sync with Excel and you can create your own dashboards to show information that is relevant to you. You also have the option to use predefined dashboards.

You’ll be able to define your objectives when it comes to business strategy, compare actual and target values, identify the KPIs (key performance indicators), analyze variances, build reports every month, export your reports to PDF, and send reports by email, and decide the weight of each KPI.

The app has no set-up costs; you don’t have to buy any additional software licenses. Just download the app and start tracking your business information.

More Information

There are several in-app purchases you can make, ranging from $4.99 to $24.99. Only buy the extras you need.

andara was updated to Version 3.01 on April 30, 2013. The update added added a ton of features, such as offline mode so you can access your data even when you don’t have an Internet connection, and SSL security connection, collaborative tools, self-service reporting, and more. The app has a total of 48 customer ratings with an average of 3.5 out of five stars.  

I don’t run a business that requires this kind of tracking, but if I did, I’d definitely try out this business app. It looks easy to use and set up, has an elegant user interface, and allows you to stay on top of the state of your business.
