Business intelligence dashboards that show today's numbers today
Every system you run produces data; very little of it reaches the people who make decisions in time to matter. AutoProbaho designs and builds analytics and BI dashboards on top of your ERP, CRM, accounting, e-commerce and production systems — a small number of well-chosen KPIs per role, refreshed automatically, with drill-down to the underlying records and alerts when something moves outside the range. No month-end spreadsheet assembly, no arguing about whose number is right.
Reports arrive late, disagree with each other and answer last month's question
The typical management report is built by hand: exports from three systems, pasted into a workbook, cleaned by someone who knows which columns to ignore, and circulated as a PDF a week after the period closed. By then the slow-moving stock has aged another week, the overdue receivable is another week older, and the low-margin order has already shipped. Different departments bring their own version, and the meeting spends its first twenty minutes reconciling numbers instead of acting on them.
Dashboard tools alone do not fix this. Pointing Power BI or Looker Studio at messy sources produces pretty charts on unreliable data. What makes a BI dashboard useful is the work underneath: agreeing the definitions (what counts as an order, when is stock 'slow'), connecting the sources properly, modelling the data once, and choosing the handful of KPIs each role should actually watch.
Who this is for
- Owners and managing directors who want to see sales, stock, cash and production on one screen every morning
- Manufacturers, garments factories, distributors and e-commerce companies with data spread across ERP, accounting and marketplaces
- Finance and operations managers tired of assembling month-end packs by hand
- German Mittelstand firms needing controlling dashboards that reconcile with DATEV and satisfy the Steuerberater
Current pain points
Reporting is manual
Someone spends days each month copying exports into a workbook; the moment they are on leave, reporting stops.
Numbers do not match
Sales, warehouse and finance each present a different total because they define and time things differently.
Insight arrives too late to act
Problems in margin, stock ageing or receivables surface after the period, not while they can still be fixed.
Too many charts, too little signal
Dashboards with forty tiles that nobody reads; the important three are buried.
No drill-down
A number looks wrong and the only way to investigate is to ask someone to pull another export.
What AutoProbaho builds
KPI framework per role
Owner, finance, sales, operations and production each get the few metrics they need, with agreed definitions and targets — decided in workshops, not guessed.
Data model & pipeline
Sources connected via APIs or n8n into a reporting database; data cleaned and modelled once so every dashboard uses the same facts.
Interactive dashboards
Built in Metabase, Power BI, Looker Studio or a custom web dashboard — filters, drill-down to transactions, mobile-friendly, in Bengali, English or German.
Scheduled reports & alerts
Daily, weekly and monthly report packs delivered by email, WhatsApp or Teams; threshold alerts on stock, receivables, margin and delivery performance.
Governance & documentation
A data dictionary, ownership of each KPI, refresh schedules and access controls so the numbers stay trusted after go-live.
Modules & capabilities
Sales & margin analytics
Revenue by product, customer, region and channel; gross margin per order; quote-to-order conversion; sales team pipeline and activity.
Inventory & warehouse
Stock value and ageing, slow and dead stock, stock-outs, fill rate, turns per SKU and location, reorder alerts.
Production & quality
Output per line and shift, efficiency, wastage, on-time completion, WIP, downtime reasons — for garments and manufacturing floors.
Finance & cash
Receivables and payables ageing, cash position, expense trends, VAT summaries, budget versus actual, reconciled with accounting.
Customer & service
Order lead time, on-time delivery, complaints and returns, response time on WhatsApp and email, customer lifetime value.
E-commerce & marketing
Orders and revenue by channel (shop, Daraz, marketplaces), return rates, campaign performance, cost per order.
HR & attendance
Headcount, attendance and overtime trends, absence patterns, productivity per team — where data exists.
Executive overview
One screen for owners: yesterday's sales, cash, open orders, stock alerts, overdue receivables and exceptions needing a decision.

- 03
Pipeline & first dashboards
Data flowing and the executive overview plus one departmental dashboard live, typically within 4–6 weeks.
- 04
Iterate with users
Two to three review rounds with real users; tiles removed as often as added.

Expected business outcomes
Same-day visibility
Yesterday's sales, cash and stock available every morning without anyone assembling them.
One agreed version of the numbers
Departments discuss actions, not whose spreadsheet is right.
Problems caught while fixable
Alerts on ageing stock, overdue receivables and low margins arrive within the period.
Less reporting labour
The month-end pack builds itself; finance reviews and comments instead of copying.
Security & ownership
Row-level and role-based access
Sales reps see their region, managers their department, owners everything; enforced in the data layer, not just the dashboard.
Data stays in your accounts
Reporting database and BI tool hosted in infrastructure you own, in the region you require; no data copied to third-party analytics clouds unless you choose it.
Auditability
Every KPI traceable to its source records and definition; refresh logs and change history on the model.
Frequently asked questions
Whichever fits your team and budget: Metabase (open source, self-hosted), Power BI (Microsoft 365 shops), Looker Studio (Google Workspace) or a custom web dashboard when interactivity or branding demand it. The data model underneath is tool-independent.
The executive overview and one departmental dashboard are typically live within 4–6 weeks of the KPI workshop, provided the sources are accessible. Further dashboards follow every one to two weeks.
Yes — and we tell you clearly what the data can support. The pipeline includes cleaning and validation, and the process often surfaces fixes needed in the source systems. Where the foundation is too weak, we recommend a cloud database migration first.
Yes. Labels, report packs and alerts can be delivered in Bengali, English or German, with local number and date formats.
It becomes another source in the same model. Under a managed support plan we add sources, adjust KPIs and keep pipelines running as your landscape changes.
