Use cases

One data-preparation workflow, different reporting jobs

Use one local data-preparation workflow for internal management reporting, client services or BI projects—without rebuilding the same exports each period.

Accountants and bookkeepers

Prepare Xero, QuickBooks or TallyPrime reporting for each client, then offer dashboards and optional review as a service. Keep every client connection and export separate.

  • P&L and balance-sheet summaries
  • Receivables, payables and transaction review
  • Payment and cash timing
  • Audit and reconciliation output

Finance teams

Bring management reporting in-house. Prepare data for monthly management accounts, ready-made or custom dashboards and existing BI tools—without rebuilding exports. Your team still reviews the figures.

  • Revenue and expense trends
  • Outstanding balances
  • Account movement
  • Scheduled exports on supported plans

Analysts and BI developers

Start with prepared fact and dimension tables, relationship guidance and a documented grain rather than modelling directly from changing raw payloads.

  • Basic and Advanced table sets
  • Stable file names
  • Validated relationships
  • Raw rows retained for review

Consultants and operators

Prepare each client's data in a separate workspace, build your own Datplan dashboards or deliver stable BI-ready files to an authorised client-controlled folder. Their team can then use Power BI, Qlik or Tableau without you hosting their source data.

  • Separate client folders and workspaces
  • Personal Datplan dashboards
  • Client-controlled SharePoint, OneDrive or network delivery
  • Portable Power BI, Tableau and Qlik source files

Where Datplan fits in a wider reporting setup

Manage each company and connection in separate workspaces, prepare consistent reporting data, then combine entities in Power BI, Tableau or Qlik where required. Datplan focuses on source extraction, ETL, local dashboards and exports; accounting review and cross-entity model design remain in the tools and processes your team already uses.

See Datplan with real reporting data—without connecting a live account

The Windows app is free to download and includes Datplan Demo data, so you can test sync, dashboards, reporting grains and exports first.
