Custom Software · Dashboards & Reporting

One screen your whole operation agrees on.

Real-time dashboards that combine business systems, meters, sensors and equipment data in one place — so the number on the screen is the number in the system.

What is a real-time operational dashboard?

A real-time operational dashboard is a web page that pulls live data directly from source systems — accounting and ERP data, production counts, electricity meters, generators, sensors and PLCs — and shows it as current values, trends and alerts. Because it reads from the source rather than from spreadsheets, everyone sees the same, up-to-date numbers.

Data a dashboard can combine

  • Sales, stock and financial figures
  • Production output and downtime
  • Electricity consumption and demand
  • Generator status and run-hours
  • Tank, silo and reservoir levels
  • Temperatures and environmental readings
  • Job, ticket and service-level data
  • Alarm and event history
How it works

From first survey to working system

01

Agree the decisions

We start from the decisions people need to make, then choose the handful of measures that support them — not every number available.

02

Connect the sources

Business systems through APIs; field equipment through gateways, Modbus, OPC UA or MQTT into a time-series database.

03

Design for the viewer

Management summaries, operator views and wall screens each get a layout that works at a glance on the device they use.

04

Alert, don’t just display

Thresholds and anomaly rules send email, SMS or app alerts so problems are acted on even when nobody is watching the screen.

Why it pays back

What you get

  • No more spreadsheet reporting packs
  • Operational and financial data side by side
  • Alerts when something drifts
  • Access from any browser or phone

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can generator and electricity meter data be shown on the same dashboard?

Yes. Once both are read by a gateway and stored in the same database, they can be shown side by side — for example mains consumption, generator run-hours and fuel level for each site on one screen. See generator monitoring and energy monitoring.

Power BI, Grafana or a custom dashboard?

Power BI suits finance-led reporting inside Microsoft 365; Grafana suits high-frequency equipment and sensor data; a custom web dashboard suits customer-facing portals or workflows with actions, not just charts. We often combine them.

Can multiple sites be monitored from one dashboard?

Yes. Each site sends data to a central platform, and the dashboard offers a portfolio view with drill-down per site, building or meter. See monitoring multiple sites from one dashboard.
