The dashboard nobody has to prepare.

Reporting costs a day, and it's already a week old.

Someone consolidates three spreadsheets for Monday's meeting. By the time they're assembled the figures are a week old — and since two departments don't count the same way, the meeting starts by arguing about the number instead of deciding.

• Someone consolidates three spreadsheets for Monday's meeting
• Two departments give two different figures for the same thing
• The coming weeks' workload is guessed at rather than read
• Referral partners are tracked from memory

The figures are there because the work was done.

No dashboard is filled in by hand. What you see comes from the quotes, time entries, deliveries and invoices already entered elsewhere in the app: Monday's figure is Sunday night's, not last week's.

And since there's only one entry, there's only one figure: two screens can no longer disagree.

• Margin by job, by client, by team
• The workload ahead, and the weeks that are emptying
• Receivables, and how old the unpaid ones are
• Referral partners: what they brought in and what they're owed
• Access by role, down to the link sent to a client

Three figures, not thirty.

A dashboard with thirty indicators only proves you have one. We look for the three figures that trigger a decision in your business, and we write down the exact rule that computes them — so they stop being arguable in meetings.

Once the app is live, we come back to what it actually saved, using your figures. That's what justifies the subscription, or ends it.

• The three figures that trigger a decision in your business
• The calculation rule written down, so it can't be argued
• Who sees what: management, operations, field, client
• Export to Excel when the analysis will only happen once
• A review of real savings, once it's live
