What is Tableau?

A visual analytics platform for business reporting

Tableau is a professional analytics platform for turning data into interactive reports and dashboards. It can connect information from different sources, present it through polished visual interfaces and let business users explore results themselves. With prepared datasets, the right permissions and training, your team can also build its own reports, compare performance and investigate the details behind a number.

What ERPixel delivers

Tableau development from business metrics to working dashboards

We cover the reporting interface, the data behind it and the way your people use it to manage the business.

Tableau Server deployment

Install and configure Tableau Server, organize publishing and user access, and set up the agreed data refresh schedules.

Dashboards, reports and data tables

Build KPI dashboards, analytical reports and detailed tables with filters, calculations and drill-down views. Agree how each metric should be displayed and how users move from an overview to the underlying detail.

Data warehouses and processing scripts

Create a data warehouse (DWH) with raw source-data tables and reporting tables. Develop scripts to clean, recalculate and aggregate records so Tableau receives consistent datasets for analysis.

Business management and KPI consulting

Help management translate company goals into key performance indicators (KPIs). Define useful metrics, calculation rules, ownership and review routines so reporting supports practical management decisions.

KPI alerts and exception reporting

Configure notifications for agreed KPI thresholds so management can notice a missed target and investigate. Alert conditions, recipients and timing are defined around the available data and refresh schedule.

User training and independent reporting

Teach users to work with Tableau, read dashboards, use filters and create their own reports from prepared data. Document the datasets and reporting logic so the team can keep working after handover.

Who needs Tableau development?

When the business question spans more than one system

These are examples of questions a Tableau solution can help answer. The required sources and calculations are agreed for your business.

Your CRM, billing and website tell separate stories

Combine CRM records, billing data, website activity and Google Analytics to examine how much the company earns, which customers contribute to profit and which acquisition sources produce revenue. Agree how leads, customers and transactions are matched across systems.

You sell through several channels or business lines

Aggregate sales and cost data across channels to compare revenue, margin and contribution to the business. See which activities sustain the company today and where growth adds profitable business.

You need budget-to-actual and period comparisons

Compare planned activity, revenue and costs with actual results. Track how much work was planned, what was completed and how performance changed from the previous reporting period.

Customer behavior differs across regions

Explore activity, trends and product demand by country or customer segment. For example, if a new product is popular in several countries but attracts little attention in one region, your team can investigate and plan a focused campaign there.

Management needs to notice exceptions sooner

Use threshold alerts to flag a KPI that falls outside its agreed range. Give the responsible manager a defined signal and a dashboard for investigating the deviation while there is still time to respond.

Your operations generate a continuous flow of events

Manufacturers can analyze prepared sensor readings and production signals. Service businesses can follow new customer arrivals, demand and service activity. We agree how those events are collected and aggregated, and how frequently the resulting reports need to update.

Start with a business question

Which numbers are hardest to bring together today?

Send an existing report, a list of source systems or a question your team cannot answer reliably. We will use it to discuss the metrics, data and Tableau work your project needs.

Why ERPixel

ERP experience, financial management and hands-on Tableau development

More than a decade of ERP work gives us practical experience with the transactions and business processes behind the figures. We bring that understanding into the reporting model, calculations and dashboards.

Financial management and profitability

Our strengths include business profitability, unit economics and financial reporting, including reporting based on IFRS requirements. We agree accounting policies, metric definitions and source mappings with the people responsible for finance.

Integration and data engineering

We connect operational systems and develop the warehouse and processing logic needed to combine their data. The reporting model reflects how sales, costs, inventory and other events are recorded in the source systems.

Practical Tableau project experience

Our portfolio includes Tableau Server deployment, financial and inventory dashboards, sales pipeline analysis and reporting across multiple business units. We use that experience to make complex reporting understandable and maintainable.

How we work

From your goals to reports your team can explain

You explain what the business needs to understand. Together we define the reporting plan, build the solution and review it in useful iterations.

  1. 01

    Translate business goals into metrics

    Discuss your needs, break company goals down into measurable indicators and identify the data that supports each metric. Agree definitions, reporting users and the decisions they need to make.

    Result: An agreed set of metrics and business questions.

  2. 02

    Map the data and create the roadmap

    Identify which sources are needed, what form their data takes, how records relate and how often they must update. Prioritize the datasets and reports so the first delivery answers useful questions.

    Result: A roadmap covering sources, data structure and reporting priorities.

  3. 03

    Prepare the warehouse and connect sources

    Set up the data warehouse where needed, connect source systems and write data-cleaning, recalculation and aggregation scripts. Prepare the datasets and connections Tableau will use.

    Result: Reporting datasets with agreed refresh schedules.

  4. 04

    Develop and refine Tableau reports

    Build KPI reports, dashboards and data tables. Review the figures and visual presentation with your team, reconcile them with source records and refine the reports iteratively until the agreed indicators are visible and understandable.

    Result: Reviewed dashboards that answer the agreed business questions.

  5. 05

    Document the calculations and train users

    Document every report: what each metric includes, its sources, calculation rules, data freshness and assumptions. For profitability, explain which revenue and costs are included. Train users to interpret the figures and create their own views.

    Result: A documented reporting system and a team prepared to use it.

What your business gains

A shared reporting center for managing the business

The value comes from connecting visible changes to understandable numbers and practical decisions.

    Bring agreed indicators from multiple business systems into one dashboard where useful. See changes automatically as source data is refreshed on the agreed schedule.

  • 02

    Trends and changes you can spot

    Give finance, sales and operations a shared view of defined metrics. Review information together and discuss the figures and their context across departments.

  • 04

  • 05

    Growth with a clearer economic picture
