"Having the ability to get quick, summarized data out of the system is a requirement when resources are limited. Gilchrist Scott spent ½ hour creating a query in Smartlist Builder that would have otherwise forced us to look up 170 employee records or print a 798 page report in order to complete the year-end 401K census."
