The same question, asked of live data instead of a person with a spreadsheet.
REPORT REQUEST #118 · “Which products lost money last month?”open · 9 days
Two items sold below cost. Answered from live data, in the time it took to ask.
One version
Dashboards read the same ledger your invoices post to. There is no export to go stale and no second version to argue with.

Dashboards sit on top of an ERP, and these are ERPs we built where live visibility was part of the job: Kochi Metro Rail, MultiWealth Capital and DSV Global Transport and Logistics.

More detail
| Capability | What it does for you |
|---|---|
| Drag-drop charts | Build visualisations without code — your finance and ops leads self-serve. |
| Live dashboards | Role-based dashboards that refresh from ERPNext, so leadership sees the same truth. |
| KPI tracking | Define and watch the metrics that matter — revenue, margin, ageing, stock turns, on-time delivery. |
| Scheduled reports | Reports emailed automatically on your cadence — daily sales, weekly receivables, monthly P&L. |
| Multi-source data | Combine ERPNext data with external databases for a single analytical view. |
| Drill-down | Move from a top-line number to the underlying transactions in a couple of clicks. |
The dashboards, KPIs, scheduled reports and self-serve charting above are native to Frappe Insights on your ERPNext stack — no third-party BI licence required. Where you want deeper modelling — blended external data sources, complex calculated metrics, or a tailored executive cockpit — we build it as part of ERPNext customisation. We'll tell you up front what's out-of-the-box configuration and what's custom work.
Dashboards tell you what happened. AI analytics helps you ask why, and what next — in plain language. Acube layers AI on top of your ERP data the safe way: pick one high-payback question (say, which customers are most likely to churn, or which SKUs to reorder before you run out), prove the ROI on your own data, then scale — always with a human in the loop. It's the natural next step once your BI foundation is live.
First get to one trusted number, fast. Then teach it to look forward. Insights gives you the live cockpit; AI turns that cockpit into foresight — without betting the business on a black box.
Decisions made on stale or contested numbers are decisions made blind: dead stock you reordered anyway, a customer who churned while the data sat in a queue, a margin leak nobody spotted until quarter-end. Meanwhile senior people burn hours assembling reports by hand. Self-serve BI on data you already own removes the analyst bottleneck, ends the "which number is right?" debate, and surfaces problems while you can still act — with no per-seat licence cost stacked on top.
What it costs to put in depends on what you run on today, what you want to see, and how many people need to see it. The calculator on this page asks about exactly those, and gives you a figure before anyone calls you.
Owners and MDs who want a live cockpit, CFOs tracking cash and margin, COOs watching delivery and stock, and IT heads who want analytics without standing up a separate data warehouse — across every industry we serve. It draws on the financial data behind your Accounting & Financial Management ERP and the operational metrics from Inventory & Warehouse Management.
We build the data backbone for organisations that run on accurate, real-time numbers — among 200+ organisations served since 2011, including flagship operations such as Kochi Metro Rail (KMRL) and KSRTC. Read the full case studies →
No — Frappe Insights runs on your ERPNext stack, so there's no per-seat BI licence to buy.
Yes — Insights is drag-and-drop, so finance and operations leads can build charts and dashboards themselves, with drill-down to source data.
Yes — schedule dashboards and reports to go out daily, weekly or monthly to the right people.
Yes — Insights can pull from ERPNext and external databases for a single analytical view.
We start narrow — one clear, high-value question on your own data — prove the result with human oversight, then scale. See our AI services and AI Development.
Yes — because every dashboard draws from one dataset (your live ERP), the "which report is right?" problem disappears, and any figure drills down to its source transactions.
BI is most powerful on a live ERPNext foundation. If you're not there yet, we sequence implementation first, then layer Insights on top.
It depends on what you run on today, what you want to see, and how many people need to see it, which is why the figure on this page comes from a two-minute set of questions rather than a brochure. The estimate is a range; a quotation is a fixed price we sign after a short call about the detail.
