The Monday Morning Trap
Analysts spend all weekend downloading disparate reports to build a slide deck that is already 48 hours out of date by Monday morning.
Unified Operational Data
Production & Service Dashboards
Connect the factory floor to the field service team.
We build incredibly fast, custom BI dashboards that aggregate your trapped data. See machine telemetry, field technician routes, and ERP supply levels on a single screen in real-time.
- Aggregate data from PLCs, IoT sensors, and field service APIs
- Real-time visualization using Next.js and high-performance charts
- Custom alerts for downtime, maintenance, and SLA breaches
Siloed operational data prevents proactive leadership.
In complex industrial operations, your data is rarely in one place. Your SCADA system holds machine uptime, your field management tool holds technician schedules, and your ERP holds the financial impact. When these systems don't talk to each other, you are managing blindly.
Reactive Service
A machine goes down, but your field service team isn't automatically dispatched because the production software isn't connected to the scheduling tool.
Cluttered BI Tools
Legacy BI tools are so overwhelmingly complex that managers refuse to log in, preferring to request custom data pulls from IT.
The deliverables
Custom Data Visualization Architecture.
We build lightweight, web-based applications that sit on top of your existing infrastructure, providing consumer-grade interfaces for your most complex industrial data.
API & Database Aggregation
Writing secure middleware to pull data from your legacy ERPs (SAP, Epicor), IoT sensors, and modern SaaS tools into a unified analytics warehouse.
Role-Based Interfaces
Designing different views for different users: a macro-level financial roll-up for executives, and a micro-level machine status view for the plant manager.
Advanced React Charting
Utilizing high-performance libraries like D3.js and Recharts to render massive datasets smoothly in the browser without lagging or crashing.
Real-Time Alerts
Implementing WebSockets to stream live telemetry, allowing the dashboard to instantly trigger SMS or email alerts when critical SLAs are breached.
Featured Dashboard Build
Bridging the gap between production and field repair.
See how we connected IoT machine telemetry directly to a field service routing dashboard.
Operational DashboardsIoT Integration
Industrial Equipment Manufacturer
Fixing machines before the client calls.
A manufacturer of heavy industrial HVAC units equipped their machines with IoT sensors, but the data was locked inside a clunky proprietary app. Their field service dispatchers couldn't see the sensor data, and their engineers couldn't see the dispatch schedule.
ChallengeBecause the systems were siloed, technicians were being dispatched *after* a unit failed, resulting in furious customers and breached SLA penalties.
BuildWe built a unified "Command Center" web app. It pulls live temperature telemetry from the units and cross-references it with technician GPS locations via their field service API.
ImpactIf a unit's vibration metric spikes, the dashboard flashes red and automatically suggests routing the closest available technician. Unplanned downtime for their clients was reduced by 34%.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Custom Dashboards.
Answers covering Tableau vs Custom Builds, security, and legacy tech.
Why build a custom dashboard instead of using PowerBI or Tableau?
Tools like PowerBI are incredibly powerful, but they often require deep training, look generic, and have restrictive licensing costs per user. We build custom dashboards when you need a consumer-grade, heavily branded interface that is so intuitive anyone in the company can use it instantly, with zero per-seat licensing fees.
Can these dashboards pull data from older legacy software?
Yes. If your legacy software doesn't have a modern REST API, we can build scripts to query its SQL/Oracle database directly or parse daily CSV exports via an FTP server, pushing that data into a modern analytics layer.
Are these dashboards secure enough for proprietary operational data?
Absolutely. We implement enterprise-grade authentication (OIDC, SAML, SSO integrations like Okta/Azure AD) and strict Role-Based Access Control so a floor manager only sees their shift data, while the CEO sees the global roll-up.
Will this work on an iPad or mobile device?
Yes. Unlike clunky desktop-first BI tools, our custom React/Next.js dashboards are fully responsive. Plant managers and field technicians can view real-time metrics natively on their tablets.
How fast is the data refresh rate?
It depends on your backend infrastructure. If your systems support it, we can use WebSockets to stream data in sub-second real-time. If we are polling an older API, we can configure the refresh rate to whatever cadence your database can handle safely.
