Business Operations Dashboard
Deadlines, work-in-progress, approvals, billing and collections in one live view - refreshed without anyone building a report.
Why it matters
The business challenge
Deadlines, work-in-progress, approval queues, billing and collections live in different places, so the honest answer to “where are we?” takes a day to assemble. Allocation, chasing and re-prioritising route through one or two managers - growth adds load to the people with the least spare capacity.
You might recognise this
- Deadline and SLA tracking lives in a spreadsheet - if anywhere.
- Work-in-progress and unbilled work are discovered at year-end, not managed monthly.
- Approval queues and their ageing are invisible until something is late.
- Utilisation and allocation decisions are made from memory.
- Every management question triggers a day of report-building.
- Collections slip because nobody watches the ageing until it hurts.
The solution
How PASDACS helps
PASDACS consolidates the numbers from your ERP, accounting and operational systems into one validated layer and puts a live dashboard on top: deadlines with owners and status, orders and work-in-progress, approval queues and ageing, billing and collections - and for multi-site organisations, the same view by location. Leadership sees the business; managers see their queues; nobody rebuilds a report.
Services included
- Data pipelines from ERP, accounting and operational systems
- Leadership dashboard - deadlines, WIP, approvals, billing, collections
- Manager queues and allocation views
- Utilisation, product-line and customer profitability views
- One agreed definition per metric
- Refresh schedules, access control and quality checks
How we deliver
Delivery approach
Define the decisions
The questions the dashboard must answer, and one definition per metric. Milestone: a metric dictionary your leadership has approved before any build.
Connect & validate
Pipelines from the systems you already run. Milestone: every number on the dashboard reconciled to its source system.
Build the views
Leadership, manager and, where relevant, per-location views, tested with the people who will use them. Milestone: user acceptance on real transactions.
Launch the rhythm
The weekly management review runs on the dashboard, not on assembled reports. Milestone: a full month of allocation and billing decisions made from it.
Measure the benefit
Report-building hours removed and question-to-answer time compared with the baseline. Benefit: management time back, WIP and collections managed monthly.
Extend & enable
New views only once the first are lived in, and your team enabled to read, question and extend the platform themselves.

The firm that outgrew its partners: one operating process, not more supervision
Past a certain size, the constraint is no longer effort - it is that GST, audit and accounting each run their own way, and every decision routes through a partner. The fix is an operating model, not overtime.
