The challenge

What needed
to change

Project financials were pulled together manually, so the business could not easily see in one place how a development was tracking against plan as costs landed. For a developer running many projects at once, it was hard to see at a glance which developments were on plan and which were drifting.

What we delivered

How we
approached it

Hopton built the financial reporting layer in Power BI, connecting Business Central so the numbers came directly from the system of record rather than from spreadsheets, and provided one view of each development. Power Apps tooling supports the process around the reporting.

Results & benefits

What it delivered

Manual spreadsheet reporting replaced with live Power BI on the system of record.

Cost-of-sales captured into a single view per development.

Dozens of live developments visible from one platform, on plan or drifting.

A foundation maintained through ongoing support and project delivery.

For the first time can see every development live in one place, straight from the system, rather than waiting for a spreadsheet to be pulled together. It has changed how quickly we spot a project starting to drift.
