Data Visibility Gaps

Data Visibility Gaps

Data Visibility Gaps: Why Good Decisions Depend on Great Dashboards

In today’s manufacturing and distribution landscape, information is everything. Decisions need to be fast, data-driven, and confidently executed. Yet many businesses still operate in the dark, relying on outdated reports, isolated spreadsheets, or guesswork.

When data is slow, fragmented, or hard to interpret, it paralyses your business. At Lancea Konsult, we believe that visibility isn’t optional; it’s foundational. And that’s why we built TRX, a low-code, SYSPRO-integrated solution that gives you the dashboards and control you need.

The Silent Threat: Data Visibility Gaps

You might not notice a visibility gap immediately, but over time, the effects are devastating:

  • Delayed decisions because real-time data isn’t available
  • Missed opportunities because emerging trends aren’t spotted early enough
  • Fragmented workflows because departments operate on different data sets
  • Bad decisions based on incomplete or outdated information

These issues don’t just impact operations—they ripple through finance, procurement, sales, production, and customer service.

Why Traditional ERP Reporting Falls Short

Most ERP systems, including older SYSPRO installations, are great at storing data, but not at visualising it.

There are two types of dashboards to consider:

  1. Visual Dashboards, such as Power BI, are designed for high-level business intelligence. They provide beautiful graphs and visual storytelling. However, they are typically read-only—great for insight, but not for action.
  2. Actionable Dashboards, like TRX, are built directly inside SYSPRO and offer the ability to interact with data in real time. This means users can approve workflows, trigger SYSPRO business object calls, or update transactions, without leaving the dashboard.

TRX bridges this gap by giving you a familiar Excel-style interface that not only shows the data but lets you do something with it, on the spot.

As a result, traditional reporting often:

  1. Requires manual generation and interpretation
  2. Lags behind real-world activity
  3. Lacks interactivity or drill-down capabilities
  4. Feels disconnected from daily workflows

So teams either ignore the reports or spend hours massaging data into spreadsheets to find what they really need. You deserve better.

TRX: The Dashboarding and Workflow Engine for SYSPRO

TRX from Lancea Konsult is designed specifically to bridge the gap between data storage and actionable insight.

Built directly inside SYSPRO (no external apps, no messy syncing), TRX delivers:

Custom Dashboards

See the metrics that matter to you—inventory status, order backlogs, production bottlenecks—at a glance.

Real-Time Data Grids

With Excel-like usability, TRX lets users sort, filter, and drill into live data instantly, without waiting for static reports.

Process-Linked Actions

Unlike traditional dashboards, TRX isn’t just passive. It’s interactive.

You can approve workflows, trigger transactions, and update records directly from the dashboard.

Role-Specific Views

Buyers, planners, managers, executives—everyone sees exactly what they need, customised to their role.

Attachments and Workflow Integration

Attach documents, manage approvals, and automate processes—without ever leaving the dashboard.

Why Visibility = Competitive Advantage

In manufacturing and distribution, speed and accuracy are the difference between winning and losing.

Companies that see clearly:

  • Respond to supplier issues faster
  • Optimise production and inventory in real time
  • Seize emerging market opportunities
  • Serve customers better and faster
  • Make smarter, more confident strategic moves

In short, visibility drives velocity, and TRX gives you both.
