Client Comments


I would like to thank you for everything you have done for the Personnel team these past few months to ensure a smooth transfer from the Propath database to Cascade. I've always found your team to be extremely helpful and professional, especially Mark who has had to put up with us all down here this past week............. He has been a great support and I'm sure he is also no doubt a huge asset to your business. Once again thank you very much.

We have all been impressed with the quality of the customer service as well as the cheerful can do approach of you all. Once again, thanks for your patience and support."

"I thought it appropriate to let you know that we have just spent another day with Owen and yet again are delighted with the overall performance of Cascade and particularly their people. Owen has worked through the day at a meticulous speed, going over areas of concern, ensuring understanding and going into detail where necessary. After a full day of workflow training I think I speak for all when I say we are left enthusiastic, knowledgeable and raring to go. Very much down to the person as well as the product. Please ensure that the relevant managers are informed of our positive feedback."
Helen Ratcliffe
HR Manager
ALLFORD HALL MONAGHAN MORRIS LLP
"Feedback so far is excellent and everyone is more than happy with the system. Fantastic, easy to use and quick too, great to have access to own details and update on line - very 21st century."

"I think these tools are just fantastic! The System Designer is great I can create loads of screens, it's so easy to use!" Graham Shellard

"We looked at a number of alternatives but finally chose Cascade because we believed that your system was the most comprehensive solution for our needs, and we could see that there was a clear evolution to the way it has developed over the years, giving us confidence that it is strongly fit for purpose." Lynn Setchell
Customer Experience Director
Hotel Chocolat
"Your staff are very helpful and knowledgeable on the product, not to mention "human", which helps mere mortals like us get to grips with what seemed to be such a major change. We get on very well with the staff at Cascade and feel they are friends as well as suppliers. We are happy to recommend them as an excellent provider of HR online solutions." Tracy Isbell
Weymouth and Portland Housing
"We rolled Cascade out to our employees this year and the response has been the best I've ever seen for a piece of software" Graham Shellard
Information Systems Manager
Linc Housing
"Mark Goodwin was an excellent trainer who was not only knowledgeable and enthusiastic but also extremely helpful. I was astonished as to how much material we managed to cover in 4 days worth of training and made many useful tweaks to the system that helped APMG from the offset. The training was not only useful but also enjoyable, which is a rare thing having been trained on a variety of HR systems in previous roles. His sensitivity in responding to a personal matter that impacted on the Manager's Self Service roll-out was much appreciated."

"Together with the support back at Head Office in order to make adjustments to the system, the customer service I have received at Cascade has been second to none. Nothing is too much trouble which has remained true from the initial visit from Carl Agar-Brennan, to the excellent project management demonstrated by Aileen Cronin to the IT guys Ziaul, Tim and Luke. Thanks so much from me and everyone in APMG – I'll be sure to recommend!"

Emma Vernon
HR Officer
APMG

"Your payroll is great it is so easy to use compared to our last system, It is so easy to update and navigate around and when we have everything else in place I will do a lap of honour as it will save us so much time in fact things are so easy I keep on waiting for something to go wrong as it seems too good to be true!!!!"

HR Analysis and Reporting

comprehensive hr reports using cascade systems

Cascade provides standard reports, customised reports and ad-hoc analysis and querying to help you make the most of your data.

Cascade's set of standard reports are powerful and easy to use. These reports are web based, offering drill down interactive reporting and in-built graphs.

Our unique query builder tool lets you define your own ad-hoc queries, which can then be published to other members of your organisation so they are available from within Cascade.

Security is fully handled and managers for example will only see reports or query results for the employees they manage when appropriate. Key data such as salary information is protected from unauthorised views.

Reports are web based and can be downloaded, saved and printed in a variety of industry standard formats, PDF, excel, HTML etc.

All reporting features within Cascade have been created by Cascade and designed specifically for the Cascade HR and Payroll system and users. We do not use third party reporting tools such as Crystal Reports.

When designing the reporting tools our Development team spent a lot of time with our clients discussing their key objectives for reporting and analysis and understanding the main failures of other systems to deliver suitable, easy to use and powerful reporting tools.

Creating a Report

A key theme the feedback produced was that users found it difficult finding the fields they wished to add to reports in previous systems they had used. Many reporting tools assume a knowledge of the database which typical users do not usually have. Therefore when designing our reporting features we have organised fields in the same way that they are organised within the system itself. To locate a field you select the screen you know it is in (from use of the system) and then simply double click the field.

Please click the screen below for a larger image.

Once fields are selected each can be filtered using the simple, context sensitive, filtering options including equal to, greater than etc. However, this is provided in a user friendly, easy to use fashion. For example, when selecting areas of the hierarchy to report on, the organisation screen is provided.

Once the report has been created it can be saved as a standard report and shared with other users (or retained for personal use only) and run whenever required. Alternatively the report can be run as a one off without saving.

Reports can be sorted and all data can be graphed within Cascade HR. Each column can be sorted with a simple click. This allows you to manipulate data on an ad hoc basis without editing and re running the report.

Cascade includes a powerful graphing system that allows you to graph any and all data. Pie, Bar, Doughnut and table charts can be created with a single click.

Reports can also be exported to MS Excel with a single click for further manipulation as required.

Presenting Reports

Any query can be further formatted into detailed, presentable reports as per the standard reports.

This is achieved through a simple 'Wizard' which allows the user to make choices whilst the system configures the final report for them.

Once selected the Report Wizard begins.

End results are presentable, either in person or via email or online, and are formatted to deliver complex information in easy to use, simple to understand formats.
