Executive dashboard for manufacturing

In short

A executive dashboard for a manufacturing business tackles one specific leak: the numbers that tell you whether the plant is making money, throughput against plan, job costing, on-time delivery, scrap, stock on hand, live in Cin7 or Unleashed, in Xero, and in the production manager's spreadsheet, and none of them line up. Assembling a true picture takes days, so by the time you see a job or a line is bleeding, the bleeding is well advanced. Bamco builds it around the tools you already run, so it fits your operation rather than forcing you to change how you work.

The specific leak this plugs

The numbers that tell you whether the plant is making money, throughput against plan, job costing, on-time delivery, scrap, stock on hand, live in Cin7 or Unleashed, in Xero, and in the production manager's spreadsheet, and none of them line up. Assembling a true picture takes days, so by the time you see a job or a line is bleeding, the bleeding is well advanced.

This is not a generic problem with a generic tool bolted on. It is a specific leak in a manufacturing business, and the system is built to close it. You can see the full picture of where a manufacturing business leaks margin on the manufacturing industry page.

What Bamco builds

A dashboard that pulls production and financial data from the systems you already run, your inventory and MRP tool, your accounting package, your job costing, and puts real throughput, job margin, on-time delivery and stock position on one screen, current. It reconciles job cost against quote per order, surfaces the jobs and lines trending the wrong way, and lets you drill from the plant view into a single job. We build the integrations so the numbers pull live rather than being keyed in.

Two ways in
Ready to talk to the team who would build it?

Bring us the idea you already have, or book an audit and we map where the money is leaking. Either way, you deal directly with the senior team that designs and builds it.

What changes in week one, and by month three

Week one. From week one you stop waiting for the Monday production report, because the current position of every job and line is on one screen, pulled from the same systems your team already uses.

Month three. By month three you are catching the jobs that slip early, while there is still time to act on a material shortage or a cost overrun, rather than discovering it in a month-end report when the margin is already gone.

What it costs

Engagements typically start around $50k and are scoped after a systems audit, priced as a fraction of what a legacy build of the same capability would have quoted. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a real number before anything is built, and you own what we build. The point is not the price. It is that a well-built executive dashboard for a manufacturing business is meant to pay for itself in multiples, by plugging a leak that is costing you every week it stays open.

Common questions

Questions, answered

Can it pull job margin from Cin7 and Xero at the same time?
Yes, that is the point of building one. We build the integrations into your inventory or MRP tool and your accounting system, reconcile job cost against quote per order, and present live throughput, job margin, on-time delivery and stock on one screen, so numbers from tools that never talked finally line up.
Will it work with the tools our manufacturing business already uses?
Yes. Bamco builds around and into your existing stack, tools like Cin7, Unleashed, Katana and the rest of what you run, rather than asking you to replace them. The executive dashboard connects to what you have so data flows instead of being re-keyed, and you keep the systems your team already knows.
