CourageMFG

ProductRun

Analytics built into the platform, not bolted on.

Dashboards with one period and one set of filters across every tile. Workbooks that feel like Excel, with pivots, formulas and exact totals over Business Central and CourageMFG data. Budgets planned in a spreadsheet and written back to BC.

The dashboard gallery: executive, sales and margin, inventory, plan vs actual, pipeline and quality

Replaces

  • budget spreadsheets and a separate CPM tool
  • Power BI dashboards and the weekly KPI deck
  • Power BI reports and the Excel exports behind them

Dashboards that look the part

KPIs with change against prior year and a trend line; column, line, area, bar and donut charts with targets; ranked lists; tables with in-cell bars; and heatmaps. Six starter dashboards on day one: executive, sales and margin, inventory flow, plan vs actual, pipeline and deliveries, quality and engineering.

Sales and margin dashboard: net sales by month and category, sales by location, margin against target

Workbooks instead of exports

Excel-like sheets over BC and CourageMFG datasets, with pivots, formulas, filters, subtotals and charts, computed in the database so totals are exact. Any sheet can become a dashboard tile.

  • Templates for sales, deliveries, readiness and pipeline
  • Shared with the company or kept private
  • No Power BI gateway, no export to Excel and back

Budgets and forecasts in a spreadsheet

Plan by G/L account, month and department in a grid, run scenarios, compare plan with actual from Business Central, and write the approved budget back to BC G/L budgets.

CPM budget by G/L account and month

Quality and engineering on the same page

Issues by category and severity, item setups by department and change orders released, next to sales and inventory: every dashboard reads the same model. Company dashboards anyone can edit, with drag-to-reorder, resizing and a tile editor that previews as you change it.
