Dashboard software, answered directly

What is dashboard software?

Dashboard software from ANTLR Tech is the handful of figures you actually steer by — capacity, margin, backlog, cash — calculated the way your business defines them and current as of this morning. It is built for your operation rather than configured from a product, so the screens follow the way your team already works. Typically 15–300 staff, where a monthly pack takes two people three days to assemble and is out of date the moment it lands.

How much does dashboard software cost?

It depends on scope, integrations and how many locations you run — so we don't publish a number that would be wrong for most people. What we do commit to is the shape: a short paid discovery, then a fixed price for a defined first release that you approve before any production code is written. No open-ended billing, and no surprise at the end.

How long does it take to build?

A first working release lands in 4–10 weeks from kickoff. We run two-week cycles with a demo at the end of each, so your team is using part of the system while the rest is still being built — rather than waiting for a single reveal at the end.

Who is dashboard software for?

Leadership teams deciding on last month's numbers. Typically 15–300 staff, where a monthly pack takes two people three days to assemble and is out of date the moment it lands. If an off-the-shelf product already fits without workarounds, we will say so — custom software only pays when the process is specific enough that rented tools fight you.

What’s included

What’s included in a dashboard software build

Every build starts from this set and is adjusted to the figures your leadership actually steers by, defined once and agreed in writing.

  • 01

    Metric definitions

    Each figure defined once, in writing, so departments stop disagreeing.

  • 02

    Data pipeline

    Operations, accounting and payroll joined on a schedule you can rely on.

  • 03

    Leadership dashboard

    The five numbers that matter, on one screen, current this morning.

  • 04

    Operational views

    Backlog, utilisation and capacity for the people running the day.

  • 05

    Drill-down

    Every figure traceable to the jobs, invoices or shifts behind it.

  • 06

    Branch & team comparison

    Sites ranked on the same basis, with like-for-like adjustments.

  • 07

    Scheduled reporting

    The pack that used to take three days, delivered automatically.

  • 08

    Alerts & thresholds

    Told when a number moves, rather than finding out at month end.

Operators already running on it

Logistics

−62%

Dispatch moved off the whiteboard. Four depots now plan from the same board, and invoicing takes hours instead of days.

Halden Logistics

Manufacturing

11 days

Quote to production start, down from twenty-six. Estimators and the floor read the same job record.

Cedarline Mfg.

Field service

15 hrs/wk

Returned to the office team. Job sheets, parts and signatures arrive as the crew finishes, not three days later.

How a dashboard software project runs

  1. 01 · 1–2 weeks

    Discover

    We ask what decisions you make weekly, then work back to the figures behind them.

  2. 02 · 1 week

    Plan

    A phased build, a fixed first release and a cost you can approve.

  3. 03 · 4–10 weeks

    Build

    Two-week cycles, figures reconciled against your existing pack until they agree.

  4. 04 · Ongoing

    Improve

    New metrics, new branches and new comparisons as the business changes.

Questions buyers ask about dashboard software

Why not use Power BI or Tableau?

Often you should, and we'll say so. Custom pays off when the metric definitions are contested, the sources need heavy reconciliation, or the people reading it won't open a BI tool.

How current will the numbers be?

Usually as of this morning, and hourly where it earns its keep. We match the refresh to the decision — capacity needs today, margin rarely needs live.

What if our data is messy?

It generally is. Cleaning and reconciliation are part of the build, and we run the new figures beside your existing pack until they agree.

Can we trace a number back to its source?

Yes. Every figure drills down to the jobs, invoices or shifts behind it, which is what makes people trust it enough to act on.

Who owns the software?

You do. The repository, the hosting accounts and the data are yours from day one, documented at handover so another team could pick the work up. There is no seat licence and no fee that exists only to keep you with us.

Do we need a written specification before starting dashboard software?

No. Most clients arrive with a problem rather than a spec. Deciding what to build first — and what to leave alone — is the work of the discovery stage, and you keep the process map that comes out of it either way.
