Reporting & Dashboards for Exchequer Users
Exchequer has been a trusted ERP system for many successful UK businesses for years.
It’s robust, flexible and provides excellent financial control.
Many businesses continue to rely on it every day for finance, purchasing, sales, stock and business operations.
But as reporting requirements become more demanding, many Exchequer users find themselves relying increasingly on Excel.
Not because Exchequer lacks data.
Because the business has outgrown standard reporting.
Your ERP Contains More Information Than You’re Using
Most businesses only use a fraction of the information available within Exchequer.
The questions management wants answered today are very different from those they asked when the system was first installed.
For example:
- Which customers are becoming more profitable?
- Which products deliver the highest margins?
- Which salespeople are driving growth?
- Which suppliers are increasing costs?
- What trends are emerging across the business?
- Which KPIs need attention today?
The information often already exists.
It simply isn’t presented in the way managers need it.
Why Reporting Ends Up in Excel
This is one of the most common patterns we see.
Someone exports data from Exchequer.
That data is copied into Excel.
Additional calculations are added.
Other spreadsheets are linked together.
Reports are emailed around the business.
The process grows over several years until nobody wants to change it because it’s too critical.
Unfortunately, it also becomes slow, fragile and dependent on key members of staff.
The Hidden Cost of Spreadsheet Reporting
Most businesses don’t realise how much reporting actually costs.
Not software.
People.
Experienced finance staff spending hours every week:
- Exporting reports.
- Updating spreadsheets.
- Checking formulas.
- Reconciling figures.
- Producing management packs.
The reports are valuable.
The manual effort isn’t.
A Real Customer Story
An Exchequer customer approached Illuminis Insight Software because their monthly reporting process depended on a series of complex Excel workbooks that had evolved over many years.
Every month followed the same routine.
Export data.
Refresh spreadsheets.
Correct formulas.
Produce PDFs.
Email management packs.
We automated the data extraction, recreated the reports as live dashboards and removed almost all of the manual work.
The finance team still owned the reporting.
They simply no longer had to build it every month.
The Finance Manager later told us:
“The reports became more accurate because people stopped manually rebuilding them.”
