Dashboard & Reporting Software
for Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane businesses.

Your business data lives in Xero, your CRM, project tools, and spreadsheets. Getting a clear picture means pulling it all together manually, and by the time you do, the numbers are stale. We build live dashboards that connect to your systems and show you what is happening right now.

Perth-based. Australia-wide. Fixed-price quotes after discovery. Connected to your existing tools, not competing with them.

What This Solves

Live Dashboards That Connect All Your Business Data

You are on this page because getting a clear picture of your business takes too long. Revenue is in Xero. Sales pipeline is in HubSpot. Job progress is in simPRO. Then someone has to pull it all into a spreadsheet, build some charts, and send it around. By which point the numbers are already outdated.

HELLO PEOPLE builds custom dashboard and reporting software that connects directly to your existing systems. Financial performance, sales metrics, operational KPIs, and project status, all in one place, updated automatically, accessible from any device.

This is not about replacing Xero or your CRM. It is a reporting layer that sits on top of what you already use, pulls data from all of them, and shows you the full picture without manual compilation.

When spreadsheet reporting breaks down

If your team is doing any of these, a live dashboard will save hours every week and improve every decision.

Reports compiled manually from multiple systems

Someone exports data from Xero, checks the CRM, adds operational numbers from another tool, and builds a spreadsheet. This takes hours or days. It happens weekly or monthly. And the numbers are already old by the time they reach the right people.

Conflicting numbers from different departments

Sales says revenue is one number. Finance says another. Operations has a third. The numbers do not match because they come from different systems, pulled at different times, with different definitions.

No real-time visibility into business performance

Leadership makes decisions based on month-old data because that is when the last report was compiled. Cash flow, pipeline health, operational capacity: all guesswork between report cycles.

What We Build

What your dashboard looks like

Executive dashboards, operational views, financial reporting, sales pipeline tracking, and custom reports. Each module handles a different layer of business visibility.

Live executive dashboards with cross-business visibility

Revenue, profit, cash flow, pipeline, project status, and operational KPIs, all pulled from your existing systems and displayed in a single dashboard. Updated automatically, not compiled manually at the end of the month.

Drill-down capability lets leadership click from summary numbers into the detail behind them. Revenue by customer, profitability by project, sales by rep, overdue invoices by age. Any dimension your business tracks.

AI solutions

Operational dashboards for real-time visibility

Job progress, task status, resource allocation, inventory levels, SLA compliance. Operational dashboards show what is happening right now, not what happened last week.

Built for operations managers who need to see the current state of the business at a glance. Which jobs are on track? Which are overdue? Where are the bottlenecks? What requires immediate attention?

Workflow automation software

Automated financial reports from Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks

Monthly financial reports that build themselves. Revenue vs budget, cost tracking, cash flow forecasting, receivables aging, and profitability analysis, all pulled directly from your accounting software via API.

Scheduled report delivery to the right people at the right frequency. Weekly cash flow updates. Monthly P&L comparisons. Quarterly board packs. All generated automatically with current data.

Xero integration

Sales pipeline and conversion reporting

Pipeline value by stage, conversion rates by source, rep performance, forecast accuracy, and deal velocity. The metrics your sales leadership needs to manage the pipeline, not just observe it.

Connected to Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, or Pipedrive. Data flows from your CRM into the dashboard automatically. No more exporting reports from the CRM and rebuilding them in Excel.

Internal business systems

Custom reports with scheduled delivery and export

Standard reports that your team runs regularly, built once, then automated. Scheduled to run daily, weekly, or monthly and delivered by email, Slack, or saved to a shared drive.

Configurable filters let users adjust reports on the fly: date range, department, region, customer, product. Export to PDF, Excel, or CSV for people who still need their data in a spreadsheet.

Pricing

What dashboard projects typically cost

Every project is different, but here is a realistic range based on what we have delivered for businesses like yours.

Focused Dashboard

One or two data sources. A single dashboard with core KPIs, drill-downs, and scheduled report delivery. Ideal for businesses starting with financial or operational visibility.

Multi-Source Platform

Three to five data sources connected. Multiple dashboards for different departments or roles, automated alerts, and self-service filtering. Suits mid-size businesses with cross-functional reporting needs.

Enterprise Reporting

Complex data architecture across many systems. Custom data models, role-based dashboards, board reporting, API integrations, and ongoing iteration. For businesses that need a full reporting layer across the organisation.

Business Outcomes

What changes when your data is always visible

Dashboard software is not about charts and graphs. It is about these practical outcomes for your business.

Real-time business dashboard showing current performance metrics

See business performance as it happens, not last month

Manual reporting is always backward-looking. By the time the spreadsheet is compiled and the presentation is built, the numbers are stale. Live dashboards show you what is happening right now.

Decisions based on today's numbers are better than decisions based on numbers that are two weeks old.

Automated report generation replacing manual spreadsheet compilation

Stop spending days compiling the monthly report

Pulling data from Xero, combining it with CRM numbers, formatting a spreadsheet, building charts, and emailing the result to five people. That process disappears. Dashboards do it automatically.

The hours your team spends each month on report compilation become hours spent on analysis and action.

Unified reporting dashboard as single source of business truth

One place for all your numbers, no more conflicting reports

When different departments pull their own numbers from different systems at different times, the reports never match. The dashboard becomes the single source of truth.

Everyone looks at the same data, pulled from the same sources, updated at the same time. No more "my spreadsheet says something different" conversations.

Alert dashboard showing early warning indicators and thresholds

Spot problems before they become expensive

Automated alerts when metrics cross thresholds: cash flow dropping, overdue invoices climbing, SLA breaches trending up, project margins shrinking. You find out early, not at the end of the quarter.

Exception reporting highlights the numbers that need attention, so leadership is not scrolling through pages of data to find the one thing that matters.

Business leadership using dashboard data for strategic decisions

Make decisions with data, not gut feel

When the numbers are easy to access, people use them. When they require an hour of spreadsheet work, people make gut calls. Dashboards lower the barrier to data-driven decisions across the business.

Historical trends, comparative views, and what-if scenarios give leadership the context to make informed choices.

Who This Is For

Typical businesses that invest in dashboard software

If your situation is here, we have built dashboards for businesses exactly like yours.

01

Business owners and leadership teams

CEOs, MDs, and directors who need a clear picture of business performance without waiting for someone to compile a report. Revenue, profit, cash flow, pipeline, and operations in one login.

02

Operations managers

Teams managing jobs, projects, service delivery, or logistics who need real-time visibility into what is on track, what is overdue, and where the bottlenecks are right now.

03

Sales leadership

Sales managers who need pipeline visibility, conversion tracking, forecast accuracy, and rep performance data that is always current and not manually compiled.

04

Multi-system businesses

Organisations using Xero, a CRM, project management tools, and operational software separately, spending hours pulling data together from all of them to get a complete picture.

05

Growing companies

Businesses that have outgrown spreadsheet-based reporting. What worked when there were ten employees and twenty clients no longer works at fifty employees and two hundred clients.

06

Board reporting

Companies that need regular board packs, investor reports, or compliance reporting. Automated, consistent, and always based on the latest numbers.

How We Deliver

How a Dashboard Project Works

We start with what you need to see, then work backward to the data sources and architecture.

Reporting Discovery

We identify what you need to see, where the data currently lives, and how it gets compiled today. You end up with a data map and a list of the dashboards and reports that will deliver the most value.

Data Architecture

We design how data flows from your source systems (Xero, CRM, operations tools) into the reporting layer. API connections, data transformation, refresh schedules, and storage architecture.

Dashboard Design

We design the dashboard layout and visual hierarchy. KPIs at the top, drill-downs below, filters on the side. You see mockups and agree the design before we connect real data.

Build & Connect

We connect to your source systems, build the data pipeline, and construct the dashboards. You see working dashboards with real data early in the build process and provide feedback.

Testing & Validation

We validate every number against your source systems. If the dashboard says revenue is $1.2M, we verify that against Xero. Data integrity is not negotiable. The numbers must be right.

Launch & Iterate

We deploy the dashboards, train your team, and set up scheduled reports. After launch, we iterate: add new data sources, refine views, and build additional reports as your reporting needs evolve.

Data Sources

What your dashboards connect to

Dashboards are only as good as the data behind them. We connect to the systems your business already uses.

Xero, MYOB & QuickBooks

Pull financial data directly: revenue, expenses, invoices, payments, bank balances, P&L, and cash flow. Updated automatically via API.

CRM & Sales Platforms

Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive. Pipeline value, conversion rates, deal velocity, and sales performance streamed into your dashboard.

Project & Job Management

simPRO, ServiceM8, Monday, Jira, Asana. Project status, job progress, resource utilisation, and delivery metrics pulled from your operational tools.

Excel, CSV & Databases

Import data from spreadsheets, flat files, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or any structured data source your business depends on.

eCommerce & POS

Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Square, Lightspeed. Sales, orders, inventory, and customer data from your retail and online channels.

Power BI & Analytics

Already using Power BI? We build custom data models and dashboards within the Microsoft stack, or connect Power BI to our custom data layer for the best of both.

We used to spend two days every month compiling board reports from Xero and our CRM. HELLO PEOPLE built a dashboard that does it automatically. The board now gets live numbers, and the finance team got two days of their life back.

FAQs

Common questions about dashboard and reporting software

How much does a custom dashboard cost?

It depends on the number of data sources, the complexity of the data model, and how many dashboards you need. We offer a free initial consultation to understand your reporting requirements, followed by a discovery phase. After that, you get a fixed-price quote. No hourly billing.

How long does it take to build a reporting dashboard?

A focused dashboard connecting two to three data sources typically takes 6 to 10 weeks. A more comprehensive reporting platform connecting multiple systems with custom data models, automated reports, and alert logic may take 10 to 16 weeks. You see working dashboards with real data early in the build.

Can you connect to Xero, MYOB, or our CRM?

Yes. Connecting to your existing systems is the whole point. We pull data from Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, simPRO, ServiceM8, and dozens of other platforms via their APIs. We also connect to databases, spreadsheets, and internal systems.

Do you build Power BI dashboards or custom dashboards?

Both. If your business is already invested in the Microsoft stack and Power BI makes sense, we build within that platform. If you need something more tailored, say embedded in a custom portal, combined with operational tools, or requiring logic that Power BI cannot handle, we build a custom dashboard application.

How do you make sure the numbers are accurate?

Every number on the dashboard is validated against its source system during testing. If the dashboard says revenue is $1.2M, we verify that figure matches Xero exactly. Data integrity checks run automatically and alert us if anything falls out of sync.

Can we add more data sources later?

Yes. Most clients start with the highest-priority data sources and add more over time. The architecture is designed to accommodate new sources. Adding a CRM feed to an existing financial dashboard, for example, or connecting a new operational tool as the business grows.

Can non-technical staff use the dashboards?

Absolutely. Dashboards are designed for business users, not analysts. Click-and-filter interaction, clear layouts, and plain-English labels. No SQL, no query builders, no technical knowledge required.

What happens after the dashboards are launched?

We offer monthly support covering new data sources, additional reports, layout changes, and alert configuration. Most clients evolve their dashboards over time as they discover new questions the data can answer.
