Internal dashboards
your team will actually use.

Most internal dashboards die because they have too many features, demand a login, and show stale data. We build the kind your team bookmarks on Monday and still uses on Friday.

The bottleneck

Most ops dashboards go unused.

Internal dashboards usually die the same way. They have eight features when staff need one. They demand a login, then an MFA prompt, then a session refresh. They show yesterday's data because the data feed broke six weeks ago and nobody noticed.

Staff learn not to trust them. They go back to ringing the office, or just guessing. The dashboard sits there, technically working, used by nobody.

You bought it to give your team visibility. They have less visibility than before.

The solution

One URL. One source of truth.

We build a small dashboard that does exactly one thing: shows your team the live state of every automation, with a button to run things manually when needed.

One URL. One tab per store. One card per automation showing: last run, status, summary numbers, run-now button, view-logs link. That's it. No login screen — it runs on your warehouse PC and is only reachable from inside the building, which is the right kind of security for an ops tool.

Updates live. When something fails, the card turns red within minutes — not days.

The outcome

Bookmarked on day one. Still used a year later.

For Raw Blend, the dashboard became the single page the team opens in the morning. The bookkeeper checks it before sending invoices. The warehouse manager glances at it before lunch. The owner skims it on the way to a meeting.

When a supplier feed broke at 3 a.m., a red card was waiting at 8 a.m. The fix took fifteen minutes instead of half a day.

Zero recurring cost. No per-seat fee when you hire someone new. The dashboard is yours.

How we price

Priced on your saving, not our effort.

Every build is quoted at one-fifth of what it saves your team in man-hours per year. The other four-fifths stay with your business, every year, after the build.

Most builds in this tier land between $2,500 and $25,000, depending on the size of the saving — a small single-task processor sits at the lower end, a multi-system platform at the upper.

Local

Lives on your computer

Desktop app or local automation that runs on a PC you already own. One-off payment.

Hosted

Lives on our infrastructure

We host, run and maintain the build. Monthly subscription, sized so cost lands as the saving lands.

Discovery is free. We spend 30 minutes mapping the saving on a call and quote a specific number inside 48 hours.

Frequently asked

Questions worth getting out of the way.

Who owns the build after we ship it?

+
You do. Source code, deployment guide, and a runbook — all yours. There's no per-seat licence to keep paying and no vendor lock-in. If you decide to maintain it in-house later, you can. We're happy to stay on as a retainer; we don't make you.

How do you work out the saving?

+
On the discovery call we ask what your team does today — name the task, the frequency, the hours, the wage rate. The estimate is conservative. If the maths doesn't land somewhere we both think is worth it, we'll tell you on the call rather than sell you a build.

How long does it take from scope to live?

+
Most builds run one to three weeks from confirmed scope to production. We work in working prototypes — you'll see something running by the end of week one, refine through week two, hand over and go to production around week three.

What if our stack is unusual?

+
Most are. The framework we ship against is the same; the connectors differ. We've shipped against Shopify, ServiceM8, QuickBooks Online, MYOB, Xero, ShipStation, custom supplier portals, Google Sheets and Excel-by-email. If your system has an API or a file export, it's in scope.

What if we want to extend it later?

+
Easy and cheap. The platform pattern means a second or third automation slots in for hours of work, not weeks. After the first build the marginal cost drops sharply — most clients return for a second within a few months.

Can the dashboard be accessed remotely?

+
Yes if needed. By default it binds to localhost only (the right kind of security for an ops tool inside a building). When managers need remote access, we wire it through a Cloudflare Tunnel or a small VPS reverse-proxy with auth on the front. Most builds don't need this.

What happens when staff change?

+
The dashboard requires no training. A new hire opens the URL on day one and the cards are self-explanatory. No login, no permissions to assign, no onboarding doc to write.

Can different staff see different things?

+
Yes — role-aware views are a small add-on. Warehouse staff see operational cards; the bookkeeper sees financial sync cards; the owner sees the rollup. Whichever cuts make sense for your team.

Want the technical detail — APIs, code, the gotchas we hit, the actual log output? It's all in the Raw Blend case study.
