1. What reports and analytics cover
Reports and analytics give operations and business teams a view of device count, online rate, alert totals, and data usage. SimtoLink DMP ships report templates you can filter by product, time, and region, and export to Excel or PDF. Custom reports and scheduled delivery cover what each role needs to see.
2. Report types
Built-in templates cover a device overview, alert totals, data usage, and OTA task totals. Filter by product, time, and region, and schedule a report to be generated and emailed to management.
| Report type | Dimensions and metrics |
|---|---|
| Device overview | Total, online, offline, new |
| Alert totals | By type, device, and time |
| Data usage | Message count and storage |
| OTA task totals | Success rate, failure rate, and progress |
3. Custom reports and visualization
Drag-and-drop design
Choose the chart type, data source, and filters, and combine more than one data source.
Export formats
Excel and PDF, for a briefing or for the archive.
Wall display
Can sit on a monitoring wall or in a BI system.
4. Export and BI connections
Raw data can be exported through the report API into a BI system you build, or into Tableau or Power BI. The platform also provides a report API and a data dictionary, so teams can build custom reports and connect a BI system.
5. What you get
Reports and analytics back operations decisions and business analysis. Manufacturing, energy, and carrier customers already use them for the numbers they run on. SimtoLink can work through report requirements, build custom reports, set how each metric is defined, and connect your BI system.
Appendix: running reports in production
Reports hold up in production when three practices run alongside the first live batch. Load-test and chaos-drill a pre-production or pilot set that matches the live network, and treat connection storms, a full disk, certificate rotation, and a cross-region failure as regular drills, then file what you learned as an acceptance checklist. Put metrics, alert thresholds, on-call escalation, and audit retention into change management so a parameter change can be traced and reversed, and troubleshooting does not depend on one person. Each quarter, engineering, operations, security, and data should ask whether the metrics still explain business risk, and tie the fixes to tickets and the release calendar. SimtoLink treats the console, open APIs, and exports as assets you keep operating — observable, orchestrable, and auditable — not a switch you flip once. If you want that reviewed against your ITSM, IAM, data lake, or edge clusters, contact the SimtoLink solutions team for an implementation note and a risk list for reporting. Keep the subscription list in step with the org chart and drop people who no longer need the mail. Watermark exported files and audit who opens them, so operating numbers are less likely to leave as an email attachment.
