The ERP stays the source of truth
We read from SAP, Business Central, Sage or Opera and never write over their data, except where the specification says so. The trade-off: the cockpit can only be as current as the extract the ERP allows, and we show its age on screen.
Spreadsheets people trust are imported, not banned
Budgets, forecasts and rate grids often live in Excel for good reasons. We load them through an import screen with checks, a preview of differences and an undo.
Power BI where it is enough
When the need is to read figures from one source, Power BI is the right tool and we use it. We build an application when the work needs approvals, alerts or data entered back. How we decide.
You inherit something to maintain
A custom system has a life after launch: updates, monitoring, changes in the ERP's export format. You can run it yourselves, with the training from Bonsaï Camp, or hand it to Run.
