Why businesses ask for this

  1. The monthly report takes two days to build and is out of date when it's finished.

  2. You find out about a problem — a slow-paying customer, a job over budget — weeks too late.

  3. Every question about the numbers means asking one person to pull a spreadsheet.

What it does

Built around how you work

Your numbers already exist in Xero, your job system, your bank and your spreadsheets. They just don't sit together. We build dashboards that pull them into one screen, update themselves, and send you the report every Monday. The same skills we use in enterprise supply-chain analytics, at a size that fits your business.

  • Connects to Xero, MYOB, Google Sheets, your database, job systems and CSV exports
  • KPI dashboards for owners; operational boards for teams
  • Scheduled reports by email or Slack, automatically
  • Alerts when something crosses a line — overdue debtors, low stock, margin drop
  • Drill-down from the number to the transactions behind it
  • Forecasting and trends where the data supports it
  • No per-seat licence fees — it's your tool

Example

How it works for a logistics company

A single screen shows jobs completed today, revenue per truck, fuel cost per kilometre, on-time rate and top overdue accounts. It refreshes every 15 minutes from the job system and Xero. The owner gets a Monday-morning email with the week's numbers against target and a list of the three things to look at. A wall screen in dispatch shows the live board.

What's included

  • Data audit and written scope
  • Connections to your systems
  • Dashboard web app with logins
  • Scheduled reports and alerts
  • Training and 30 days of post-launch support

Pricing

What it typically costs

Ranges are in AUD excluding GST and reflect what similar builds have cost. Your figure depends on scope — and you'll have it in writing, fixed, before we build anything.

Build

$2,100$8,400

Fixed price after scoping. Nothing payable until you've seen the prototype working.

Ongoing (optional)

from $55/mo

Hosting & data refresh. Covers hosting, backups, monitoring and a support contact. Cancel any time; you keep the tool.

  1. Step 1

    Scope it, price it

    A 30-minute call, then a short written scope listing exactly what the tool will do and a fixed price. No hourly rates, no surprises.

  2. Step 2

    See it working — free

    We build a working prototype of the core feature and demonstrate it. If it doesn't do what we agreed, you walk away and owe nothing.

  3. Step 3

    Pay, we finish, you own it

    Once you're happy, you pay and we complete the build, hand it over and train your team. Support, hosting and updates are available monthly if you want them.

Questions

About dashboards & analyticss

We looked at Power BI/Tableau — why custom?

Those are great if you have an analyst to run them and a budget for licences. A custom dashboard shows exactly your KPIs, needs no analyst, and there are no per-user fees. We've built plenty of both; we'll tell you which fits.

Our data is messy. Is that a problem?

It's the normal starting point. Part of the build is cleaning and reconciling it, and the tool keeps it clean going forward.

Can it send the report to my phone?

Yes — email, SMS summary or a mobile-friendly page you can open anywhere.

How live is live?

Depends on the source. Xero data can refresh hourly; your own database can be real-time.
