Custom dashboard development that shows what needs you today

A good dashboard does not start with charts but with the questions you ask every week. Per question we pick the source, how often the numbers refresh and which decision follows.

The dashboard of a transport platform we built opens every morning with what needs a decision, then the week's trips, then fourteen days of fuel. The numbers come straight from the transport management software and the inventory management of the same platform. What Search Console tells you about your site is explained on how long until my website shows on Google. A dashboard is often the window on a larger system: a custom ERP, fleet management software or a custom CRM. An AI agent that fetches your numbers every Monday, summarises and emails them is on AI agent development; why a team in Belgium can build it for you is on nearshore software development.

Take a company of 25 people where the owner wants an overview every Monday and a colleague puts it together each week. The figures are assumptions; run them again with your own week.

That is 313 hours a year, worth 14,085 euros at an assumed 45 euros an hour. The bigger gain is harder to count: a client who takes too much time shows after a month instead of after a year.

And Power BI? Often a good choice, when your data already sits neatly in a database. This is what Microsoft asks in the eurozone, excluding VAT:

The licence is rarely the cost. The cost is in getting the data together and keeping the reports alive. If your data is spread over spreadsheets, email and a package without an integration, the work starts a step earlier, and that is where custom helps. How to weigh building against buying is set out in build vs buy software; to brief a supplier, use the software requirements specification template.

The dashboard in the DA Logistics platform shows every morning what needs a decision, the week's trips and what is off in the fuel. For Business Centrum we pull Search Console data per day for a report on their site. And the Business Centrum platform prepares extra costs per client per month, ready to invoice.

What we do for you:

• We start with a question, not a wall of charts.
• We fetch the data ourselves, also from spreadsheets and systems without an integration.
• You can act from the screen: approve, forward, send an email.
• You own it, on a server in the EU, with rights per user.

We build dashboards as a web application. Tell us where your data lives today: book a call.

Which systems can a dashboard read from?

Anything with an export or an integration: your own platform, spreadsheets, your accounting package, Google Search Console or your online store. What has no integration we fetch with a scheduled export or an upload.

Does it work on a TV screen or a phone?

Yes. A dashboard in the browser adapts to the screen, from the TV in the warehouse to the owner's phone.

How often do the numbers refresh?

As often as the decision needs. Whatever waits for approval, at once; trips every quarter of an hour; marketing numbers daily, because Google delivers them per day.

Can we keep our Power BI?

Yes. Once your data sits in a database after our work, Power BI can read it. Sometimes we only build the collection layer and the reporting stays in the tool your team knows.

Who sees which numbers?

We set it per role. The owner sees margins and revenue, a planner his trips, a client only his own numbers if you put the dashboard in a portal.

What does custom dashboard development cost?

It depends on the number of sources, how often the numbers refresh and who may see what. We start with the question you ask every week, and after a call you get a price in euros for that first screen.
