Software Works · dashboards & reporting

Operations dashboards.
Scheduled reports.

"Here is where everything stands today." A morning dashboard that pulls from the systems you already use (QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Sheets, your POS, your CRM) and shows the 5-7 metrics you actually look at, plus a Monday-morning summary email so the same data lands in your inbox without you opening a tab.

Mobile-friendly · auth-gated · hosted on your domain · you own the source on day one.

Two patterns, one engagement

Pattern 1: Operations dashboard

A single web URL on your domain. Auth-gated (just you and the people you list). Pulls live from your data sources every 5 minutes. Mobile-friendly so it works from a phone in the parking lot.

Common metrics: revenue today / week / month, average ticket, top SKU, oldest unpaid invoice, churn this month, open work orders, drawer overage.

Pattern 2: Scheduled report generator

"Email me the weekly summary every Monday at 7 a.m." Same data as the dashboard, rendered as a clean PDF (or HTML email) and dropped in your inbox on schedule. Includes a deep-link to the live dashboard for anyone who wants to dig in.

Common cadences: daily 6 a.m. operations brief, weekly Monday 7 a.m., end-of-month financial summary.

Most operators want both. The dashboard is for "I have 30 seconds, what's up?". The scheduled report is for "I have 10 minutes with my coffee, walk me through it." We build them together; the second is mostly the cost of the first.

Data sources I integrate with regularly

How a dashboard build runs

Pricing for dashboards

Single-source dashboard: from $1,500. One data source (e.g., just QuickBooks), 5-7 metrics, mobile-friendly, hosted on your domain. Most one-source dashboards land between $1,500 and $2,800 depending on the source's API quirks.
Multi-source dashboard: from $4,500. Three or more data sources normalized into one view, with the scheduled-report add-on. Most multi-source builds land between $4,500 and $7,500.

Common questions

Can I add a metric later?
Yes. The dashboard is built so adding a new metric is a small change — usually a 1-2 hour retainer call. Bigger restructures (new data source) get a quick scope first.
What if my data source's API changes?
Most APIs version (v1, v2, etc.) and give 6-12 months of deprecation warning. The 30-day post-launch support catches anything immediate; long-term API migrations get a small change-order. The retainer covers this; without it, billed per-incident at $95/hr.
Can my employees see the dashboard?
Yes — auth is per-user, and you decide who has access. Common patterns: owner sees everything, managers see their location, employees see only their own metrics.
What if I change POS systems?
The dashboard is built with the data layer separated from the rendering layer. Swapping POS = swapping the connector. Usually a 1-week change-order.
