Reporting & Analytics

The payoff for connected systems

Most companies in these industries already own a reporting tool they do not use. The tool was rarely the problem. The data underneath it was never reliable enough to make a decision on, and the measures were never defined or owned. Once the systems are connected and the handoffs are governed, the numbers are finally trustworthy and almost nobody has built anything with them. This is not a dashboard engagement. It is about numbers that are correct.

What we usually find

Where the trouble shows up

  • A BI or reporting tool was purchased and went unused because nobody trusted the numbers it produced
  • Leadership reporting is assembled by hand each month from exports that disagree with one another
  • By the time job cost or lane profitability reaches a decision-maker, the period it describes is already closed
  • Nobody can say which system a given number came from, or who owns what it means

What should change

A better day-to-day setup

  • Reporting built on governed data with a defined system of record behind every measure
  • Current job cost, WIP, and margin visibility instead of a picture of a closed period
  • Project, operations, and finance leaders working from the same numbers
  • Documented, owned measure definitions, so a number means the same thing next quarter

Where this helps

Specific work we can take on

Commercial construction reporting

WIP schedules, job cost variance by project and by project manager, committed versus actual by cost code, over- and under-billing, labor productivity, cash flow forecasting by project, and owner reporting packages.

Logistics and freight reporting

Load and lane profitability, revenue per truck and per mile, carrier scorecards, on-time performance, days to invoice, detention and accessorial capture, driver retention, and cross-border dwell time.

Definitions, governance, and delivery

Establish which system owns each measure, document the definitions so they survive turnover, and deliver the reporting where the decision actually gets made rather than in a tool nobody opens.

Working together

A clear path from the current problem to a working change.

  • Define the decisions
  • Confirm the data can be trusted
  • Build the reporting
  • Own the definitions

Questions

What clients usually want to know

We already own a BI tool. Do we need this?

Often the tool is fine. The usual reason it went unused is that the data underneath it was not reliable, or the measures were never defined and owned. That is the work, and it is mostly upstream of the tool.

Does integration have to come first?

Usually some of it. Reporting on data the business does not trust produces arguments rather than decisions. We will tell you what has to be connected first and what can be reported on as it stands.
