Dashboard & KPI Reporting

Transforming Raw ERP Data into Strategic Insight

At MasMade ERP Inc., we believe that the true value of ERP systems lies not only in capturing operational data, but in transforming that data into actionable insights.

One of our most impactful developments involved building a custom Job Cost Reporting Dashboard to bridge the gap between default ERP outputs and the needs of executive leadership.

The Challenge

• The ERP system provided cost breakdowns only at the job level
• Executive teams and upper management needed visibility at the project level, where multiple jobs were bundled
• No native ERP tools allowed for grouping, filtering, or budget comparisons across jobs

The Solution: Custom SQL-Powered Dashboard

We developed a powerful SQL-based report using SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) to create a job cost dashboard tailored to management’s perspective.

Key Features:

• 🔍 Grouping of multiple jobs under a single project ID
• 💰 Summary of total cost vs. revenue per project
• 📊 Visualizations of labor, material, and overhead costs
• 🧮 Filtering by project manager, date range, status, and margin
• 🔄 Real-time updates via database subscription
• 📧 Scheduled report delivery to executives via email

Technical Highlights

• SQL query design with deep knowledge of the ERP database schema
• Use of joins, filters, and grouping to ensure clean, accurate output
• SSRS-based interface with drill-down graphs, filters, and grouped tables
• Automation for report generation and distribution

Results & Strategic Impact

• ✅ Provided senior management with real-time visibility into profitability across projects
• ✅ Enabled early detection of over-budget jobs
• ✅ Reduced manual spreadsheet tracking and increased trust in data
• ✅ Facilitated data-driven decision-making in finance, production, and scheduling
