Dashboards
When the figures your business is managed by are compiled manually, they are out of date by the time anyone reads them. We build a dashboard that reads them from the systems that already hold them.
Before and after
For managers who rely on figures that someone currently compiles manually — bookings in a clinic, orders in a shop, open jobs in a workshop.
TodayThe weekly report is compiled manually.
With custom softwareCollected automatically from the systems that hold the data.
TodayFigures are copied out of each tool before they can be reviewed.
With custom softwareRead directly from where they are recorded.
TodayBy the time the report is ready, it is already out of date.
With custom softwareCurrent, because no preparation is required.
TodayTwo people report the same measure and arrive at different figures.
With custom softwareOne definition per measure, so the figure is consistent everywhere.
What you get
What each measure means, where it comes from, how often it updates and who sees which dashboard — agreed in writing first, because a loosely defined measure is worse than none.
A dashboard for each audience
Built on the systems you already use, and showing each group the figures it acts on.
Figures that update without manual copying
Read directly from the systems where they are recorded, so they are current without anyone preparing them.
One definition per measure
The same figure wherever it appears, whoever is looking at it.
Reports no longer compiled manually
The figures once compiled into a report manually are already on the dashboard.

What a dashboard is
A dashboard is the focused set of figures a company is managed by, presented in one place.
Use the control to see how it works.
What it connects to
Figures are taken from wherever the work is already recorded — a spreadsheet, the order system, or whichever source the analysis identifies as authoritative for each figure.
- Google Workspace and SheetsThe spreadsheets and documents your team already maintains, read and updated by the system rather than manually.
- TelegramWhere your team already communicates: requests submitted and changes announced without opening another application.
- Your existing toolsKept rather than replaced. The analysis determines which of them we connect, and which one remains the source of record for each item of data.

Common questions
Have a different question?
Write to us and we reply within 24 to 48 hours, or book a 15-minute call.
Where do the figures come from?
From the systems that already hold them. Part of the analysis is deciding which system is the authoritative source for each figure, because two sources for one figure quickly undermine trust in a dashboard.
How often is it updated?
As often as the decisions require — a question we answer in the analysis rather than in advance. A figure reviewed every morning and a figure reviewed monthly have different requirements.
Can different people see different dashboards?
Yes — one dashboard per audience, with access based on your organisational structure. Management and operational staff rarely need the same measures.
Can it be used on a phone?
Whether it is designed for mobile is decided during the analysis rather than assumed: it depends on who uses it and where. It is built for the devices those people actually use.
We already do this in Excel. Why build a dashboard?
If your spreadsheet is current, accurate and takes no one’s time to maintain, there is no need. A dashboard is worth building where figures are copied in manually, because that is where they become outdated and inconsistent.
What if two departments calculate the same measure differently?
The definition is agreed in writing during the design stage, before the dashboard is built. From then on, a figure means the same to everyone who reads it.
When will we see the first dashboard?
A first prototype in about a week — usually one dashboard connected to its real data sources, so the definitions can be reviewed against actual figures. As a guide, production takes about a month.
Who owns the dashboards and the underlying data?
You do. The source code is handed over in full, and the repository and infrastructure accounts are transferred to you at delivery, so the dashboards do not depend on us.
Other examples of what we build
A single record of every customer and deal, structured around the way your company already sells and serves.
Documents that follow a defined approval route instead of circulating through chats and shared folders.
Purpose-built internal tools that replace the spreadsheets and chat threads your team currently relies on.
A single record of stock, orders, assets and working time, replacing a separate spreadsheet for each department.
Your existing tools connected, so data moves between them without manual transfer.
Internal systems, process automation, operational platforms, management tools or a new software product. Describe the problem, and we design the software it needs.
How to start
Describe the task
Tell us about the problem and the process around it, in your own words. No specification is needed.
First analysis and an initial plan
We review your process and requirements at no charge. You receive a diagram of the process and an initial plan for the software.
A price for your project
The price is set after the analysis and agreed before development begins. It may change if the requirements change or the scope grows, and can be paid in stages.
