Expected Outcomes

Measurable results our trades & construction clients achieve with reporting dashboard automation.

90% reduction

Report Preparation Time

Weekly financial and operational reports that previously took the office manager half a day to compile are generated automatically and distributed before 7am each Monday.

Real-time

Job Profitability Visibility

Project managers can see actual versus estimated costs on every active job at any time, rather than waiting for month-end reconciliation to discover margin erosion.

80% improvement

Cash Flow Forecasting Accuracy

Live WIP data combined with historical payment patterns produces cash flow projections that are reliable enough to inform equipment purchasing and hiring decisions.

The Challenge

Common reporting dashboard automation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.

The business owner has no real-time view of which jobs are profitable and which are bleeding money until the BAS is done at quarter end.

The office manager spends half a day every Monday morning compiling a weekly report from ServiceM8, Xero, and three different spreadsheets.

Estimators have no visibility into their quote conversion rates and cannot identify patterns in the types of jobs they win or lose.

Cash flow surprises are constant because the business relies on bank balance rather than forward-looking projections that account for outstanding invoices and committed costs.

Implementation

How we implement reporting dashboard automation for your trades & construction business.

Connect Job and Financial Data

Data from your job management platform, accounting system, and timesheet tools are connected to a central data layer. Job costs, revenue, labour hours, and material spend flow in automatically.

✓ Tools: Make, ServiceM8, Xero

Define Trade-Specific KPIs

Key metrics are configured including job profitability by type, average days to invoice, quote-to-win ratio, technician utilisation, and work in progress (WIP) value. KPIs are calibrated to your trade and business model.

✓ Tools: Google Sheets, Airtable, Google Looker Studio

Build Role-Based Dashboards

The business owner sees a financial overview with cash flow projections. Project managers see job-level profitability and schedule adherence. Estimators see their quote pipeline and conversion rates.

✓ Tools: Google Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Make

Schedule Automated Reports

Weekly P&L summaries, WIP reports, and job profitability snapshots are emailed automatically to relevant stakeholders every Monday morning without anyone compiling them manually.

✓ Tools: Make, Gmail, Google Looker Studio
