Large companies use this sort of data in the form of spreadsheets, databases, and the like to create reports that track trends and spot inefficiencies in their organization.

These reporting applications include the more basic Microsoft Access and the open source Open Office Base as well as higher end products like Crystal Reports from Business Objects. Simple reports created with any of the above can be very effective and will help you take advantage of the information you have on hand.
