Is it correct to use "act quickly" and "gives you" in the following sentence?

Xpto tracks xyz bounces. It gives you real-time statistics and details so you can act quickly.

So far as translations into idiomatic English go, that's not bad at all. For American English, anyway, it's fine.

I would say it's reasonable in a grammatic sense, but a couple of synonyms might better convey your message. Maybe something like:

It provides real-time statistics allowing you to respond rapidly to [insert whatever you're responding to].

  • "Provides" is a better choice, but the verb is so overused in technical documentation I'd prefer to read almost anything else that's close.

I think that everything in the sentence you stated you is grammatically correct.

However, I think you could reduce it to one sentence if you are interested.

Xpto tracks xyz bounces, and provides real-time statistics and details so you can act quickly.
