An Alappuzha owner often runs a resort, a few boats and an export unit together, and learns the results only at year end; dashboards show them every morning.

Trusted by 200+ organisations across India & overseas — including
Hospitality and resorts
Daily occupancy, average rate, revenue per available room, channel mix, advance bookings for the coming weeks, food cost and departmental expenses, compared with the same period last season on a single screen. Houseboat results sit beside the resort's.
Coir products and export
Order book by buyer and shipment month, production progress against delivery dates, order-wise margin, outstanding export realisations, yarn price trends against selling prices, and job-work unit performance on delivery and rejections.
Seafood and inland fisheries
Purchase volumes by landing centre and agent, yield by lot and species, cold-store stock by age, realisations by buyer and country, and the working capital position against bank limits through the peak landing months.
Owners in Alappuzha tend to wear several hats. The same family may hold a coir export firm near S.L. Puram, a resort on the lake and a share in a processing plant at Aroor, and the head of the family may spend half the year outside Kerala. Information reaches him as phone calls, photographs of registers and an accountant's summary once the month is over. By then the week of poor occupancy, or the order that lost money, is history.
Acube's business intelligence solution gives live, role-based dashboards and scheduled reports drawn from ERPNext and other sources: drag-and-drop charts, KPI tracking, drill-down from a total to the transactions beneath it, and reports emailed at whatever frequency you choose. We begin by agreeing the handful of numbers that actually drive profit, since a dashboard with forty charts informs nobody.

Most operators can tell you how many nights were sold. Few can tell you the revenue and the contribution per available night, by room or boat, after commission. A dashboard combining bookings with costs shows which units and which channels truly make money.
Exporters quote on experience and learn the outcome at the annual audit. Order-wise margin reports, comparing quoted cost with actual material, job work and freight, show within weeks which buyers and products are worth pursuing.
When each report is assembled by an accountant in Excel, it arrives late and is often disputed. Dashboards read directly from the transaction system, so the figure is the same for everyone, and the accountant's time goes into explaining it rather than compiling it.
An example
The owner of a coir export firm and a lakeside resort reads his phone over breakfast in Bengaluru. The overnight report shows yesterday's occupancy at the resort, the average rate after commission and the bookings already held for the coming fortnight, set beside the same week last season. Below it is the export order book by shipment month, with one order at S.L. Puram flagged because job-work receipts are behind schedule. He taps that order and sees which unit is late. A third tile shows the outstanding foreign realisations by buyer. He forwards one screenshot to the production manager with a single question, and the day in Alappuzha starts with the right problem.
Dashboards are only as good as the data beneath them, so we begin by checking what your systems actually record. If you run ERPNext, the work is quick. If the data sits in Tally and spreadsheets, we discuss what can be connected and what cannot. KPIs are agreed in a workshop with the owners, at your premises or by video call, and refined over the first months of use.
Discovery. The decisions you make, the figures behind them and where those figures live.
Blueprint and fixed scope. A clear plan, the deliverables and the timeline, agreed in writing before configuration starts.
Configuration. Dashboards and reports built from your ERP and other sources, with the right access.
Data migration. Your data sources connected and the figures checked against your own reports.
Training, go-live and support. Your team tests on real data, we stand beside you at launch, then support continues under a plan.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
Yes. Dashboards are web-based and work on a phone or tablet behind a secure login. Scheduled reports can also arrive by email each morning, which many owners prefer, and a link in the email opens the live chart when more detail is wanted.
It is simplest with ERPNext, because the data model is known and live. The BI layer can also read other databases and imported files. Where the source is a set of manual spreadsheets, we will be candid that the dashboard inherits their delays and errors.
You do. Dashboards are role-based: a resort manager in Alleppey sees his own property, a production head sees orders without margins, and the owners see everything. Access is controlled by user and can be changed by your administrator at any time.
After a first conversation about the decisions you make, the figures you need and where they live, we agree the scope and send you a written quotation. The price, the deliverables and the timeline are fixed against that scope before any work starts, so nothing grows without your sign-off.
You speak to someone who does this work, not a call centre. They ask about the figures you check every week and where they come from. If it looks like a fit, we agree the scope and put it in writing, with the timeline, before any work starts. If it does not, we tell you.
Coir cluster, Alappuzha / S.L. Puramcluster
The district's defining traditional industry; the Swasraya coir cluster around Cherthala and Ambalappuzha taluks made yarn and fibre through about 200 consortium units in 2011-12.
An export order spread across consortium units, finishers and packers has a margin nobody sees until it is shipped; order-wise dashboards show it while there is still time to act.

KINFRA's joint-venture seafood processing park at Aroor on the Ernakulam border; the district industries profile notes it houses the district's only seafood testing lab.
Processors here live on yield by lot and on realisations by buyer, two figures that belong on a screen every morning rather than in the audited accounts.

The town holds most of the district's hotels, homestays and houseboat operators, businesses where occupancy, channel mix and rate need reading daily through the season.
