An increasing number of our clients maintain an international customer base, and many of them accept payments in multiple currencies.
However, storing multi-currency sales figures in a backend database doesn’t always involve making on-the-spot conversions to a single currency. This can make it difficult to summarize or compare data because not all of the sales totals are in the same currency.
As a solution to this problem, we at RJMetrics are proud to announce our new Historical Currency Converter tool. We maintain a comprehensive database of 164 currencies and their historical daily spot rates over the last 20 years. Using this information, we can standardize any data set into a single currency, allowing for advanced apples-to-apples analysis of all data points across all time.
Since all conversions are made using the appropriate foreign exchange rate at the time of the transaction (typically a spot rate from within 24 hours), you can be sure that the output is a strong proxy for the actual, standardized revenue calculated by your accounting department.
