Duplex MoniBoard Reporting

We created visual reporting web software that represents the data from Visma Global ERP

Very good cooperation… most of the time all problem fixing was handled without involving me. In cases, they were unsure, they explained the problems and what caused it, but also provided well thought solutions to fix the problems.

Introduction

Have you ever dealt with companies in which one office didn’t know what the other one was doing? It’s SO frustrating, right?

Communication and integration between the various parts of a company should always be a priority. Tools like enterprise resource planning software (ERP) are great to fix these issues.

ERP is a management software that integrates all the relevant data, business processes, and functions of a company, such as sales, purchases, warehouse management, finance, accounting, etc.

We spiced up this kind of solution creating MoniBoard, a visual reporting web software that presents data from Visma Global ERP.

The client’s needs

Our longtime partner Duplex approached us to work on the MoniBoard project.

It was supposed to be a web-based program showing real-time key figures from the Visma Global ERP system.

The main goal was to present them in an easy and understandable way for persons with little knowledge of economy and finance.

The program had to address especially sales-organizations, project managers, and department managers.

Instead, it wasn’t intended as a tool for deep financial analysis.

What we delivered

We developed, together with our partner Duplex, a visually compelling reporting system which is very user friendly.

Our solution takes data from the Visma Global ERP system and shows it in a web browser.

The MoniBoard main parts

Composer: it is a service installed on the customer’s server. This extracts data from the ERP and admin part, it does calculations and transfers everything into a standard XML file.

Parser: it imports the XML file to the Moniboard database (SQL).

Webpages: the Front-end that shows graphs and figures and the Admin part for users and the role management, the input of budget figures, and other settings.
