How it runs today
- 01Figures are gathered from several systems.
- 02A template is filled in, deviations are commented.
- 03The report is ready on the fifth - for a month that ended on the first.
Use case
Monthly reports, KPI overviews, analyses for the management: high effort, little variation, and still done by hand every time.

If the figures in the source systems are unreliable, a faster report only makes them wrong faster. Then data quality is the project.
3 to 5 weeks. Building it is usually the shorter half - the time goes into access, coordination and test cases.
Read access to the systems the figures come from. An existing report as the template - structure, key figures, recipients. The definition of every key figure. In our experience that is the part that costs the most time. Nothing more is needed to start.
From verifiable criteria agreed before the build: Run three months retrospectively, the system produces the same figures as your previous report. Deviations are commented, not merely flagged. The report is ready on the first working day, not the fifth.
Compilation runs independently. The judgement stays with people - explaining a figure is management work, not arithmetic.
If the figures in the source systems are unreliable, a faster report only makes them wrong faster. Then data quality is the project.
In our experience particularly All sectors. The process itself is sector-independent, though - what matters is whether it repeats.
You tell us where your time goes. We put it in writing: what is worth automating, and roughly what that costs.
