BusinessPULSE

As its name clearly states, BusinessPULSE is a useful app for financial reporting and analysis.

Once you master its workflow, the app can help your produce financial statements, as well as comprehensive financial graphs by entering data in typical ledger format. It's also fairly useful when it comes to plotting graphs or other common and more complex financial measures.

For example, it allows you to plot your weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly terms with no more than a few mouse clicks, as well as view data in comparative, chronological and pie chart forms. Of course, the whole point of the application is to offer you a faster and more efficient way of analyzing your business performance without having to resort to spreadsheets, which may prove to be a more time-consuming action.

However, you shouldn't get your hopes up just yet. Not only does the application look outdated by modern standards, but its workflow is not exactly new-age either. Besides the fact that its main window is unrealizable and the workspace might prove to be a bit cramped for most users, there are no modern ribbon toolbars or handy menus; all its features are accessible via old-school menus.

One thing is for sure: this application requires a bit of getting used to. Fortunately, it comes with a fairly well-documented user manual that thoroughly explains how to start off using the app, how to create graphs, financial statements, how to select and adjust data, as well as all the design and plotting-related procedures.

To conclude, BusinessPULSE is a fairly outdated but still useful piece of software that can help you analyze the performance of your business. Even though it's approach to financial statement analysis is a fairly simplistic one, it does require a bit of getting used to, not to mention a bit of documentation beforehand.
