BIGcontrols, a cloud-based tax technology platform for corporate tax credits & incentives, has updated its principal product to include new data visualization, enhanced email notifications, and modern reporting functionality. The new release is designed to help tax teams and their business unit counterparts with workflow automation.
“We’re constantly working with our customers and partners to incorporate their feedback and improve our product to meet their everyday needs,” said Scott Nelson, Founder & CEO of BIGcontrols.
The solution now integrates an API for geo mapping a company’s global real estate footprint in a single map view. By clicking on a facility location marker, users can view “at-a-glance” high-level information about both the facility as well as all tax credits & incentives that are being managed at that location. Additional “at-a-glance” hyperlinks take the user deeper into the product for detailed information on both locations and incentives.
A new Compliance Calendar displays a user’s approaching incentive compliance responsibilities in a customizable calendar view. The new calendar visualization also allows for easy navigation backwards to view missed compliance responsibilities and forward to see those which are upcoming.
The BIGcontrols platform has always included email notifications for actions taken by users like creating new incentives or reassigning ownership to other users; and automated notifications for out-of-compliance incentives and updated regulatory statutes. Now, email notifications that relate to filing deadlines or other user-generated tasks also include invite attachments that can be added to a user’s MS Outlook® or Mac iCal® desktop calendars for further accountability.
New reporting functionality now allows users to export all custom reports in three different file formats: CSV, PDF, PNG. Power users have the ability to export to CSV file format in order to extract data and further analyze it. Other executives can use the PDF export to quickly pull information into visual reports that can be dropped into a larger department or committee report. And the PNG export can be used to insert specific data visuals into larger reports for audit committee or board meetings.
