What We Deliver

Services & Capabilities

We build the backend report task around your existing ERP system, from data aggregation to scheduled report output and clear handoff docs.

ERP Report Workflow Design

A background workflow design for pulling ERP data and turning it into reports.

The ERP has data the team needs, but report creation still needs a reliable backend task around it.

Workflow design document
Data handling plan
Report task scope
your existing ERP system

"We map which ERP data must be gathered before the report task runs, then define the background job around those inputs."

Python Background Task Build

A Python job that runs the report workflow outside the main app request path.

The team needs a developer who can build cron or worker tasks instead of a one-off manual script.

Code documentation
Python

"A scheduled Python task gathers ERP data, prepares the report, and runs without someone starting it by hand."

ERP API Integration

A backend connection that reads the right ERP data through documented API endpoints.

ERP data must be pulled through API integrations, with endpoint details shared after shortlist.

"When the ERP endpoints are shared, we connect the report task to those routes and test the returned data."

n8n or Python Recommendation

A build recommendation comparing n8n with a custom Python workflow.

The buyer is open to n8n or custom Python and needs a clear call on which path fits the task.

"We compare n8n against a custom Python worker for the ERP report task before choosing the build path."

Report Workflow Testing

Testing for the data handling, report run, and backend workflow behavior.

The report task needs robust data handling and clean code, not a fragile script with hidden failures.

"We test the ERP data pull and report run so bad inputs or broken endpoints are caught before handoff."

Workflow Automation

4-6 weeks

Initial problem

Eight project managers each spent four hours per sprint producing status reports — pulling Jira data and formatting per stakeholder preferences.

Our solution

Built sprint reporting automation on Make.com: automated Jira data extraction, templated report generation, and PDF packaging per stakeholder.

Result

32 hours of PM time per sprint reclaimed — equivalent to 0.8.

Workflow Automation

4-6 weeks

Initial problem

HubSpot CRM data quality had degraded to a point where sales team members routinely bypassed the CRM rather than trust it — missing fields.

Our solution

Built continuous CRM automation: automated contact enrichment via Clearbit API, duplicate detection and merge workflows, and activity logging.

Result

Data quality score improved from 52% to 89% within 45 days; crm adoption by sales team increased from 61% to 94%.

Workflow Automation

4-6 weeks

Initial problem

Client onboarding required 14 steps across three departments — legal, IT, and customer success — with no automated handoffs, causing missed steps.

Our solution

Built workflow automation across Zapier and n8n: automated handoff triggers between departments, document workflows, and IT provisioning integrations.

Result

Client satisfaction at day-14 post-onboarding improved by 38%; onboarding time reduced from 14 days to 3.

Use Cases

Top challenges we solve

These are the clearest report-task problems in the job details. No separate product context was provided, so each case maps to the stated service scope.

Scheduled ERP Reports

Current problem

Your team needs reports from the existing ERP, but the job post calls for a background task because manual report runs are still in the way.

Automated workflow

A Python cron or worker task gathers ERP data on schedule and creates the report using the report-generation service scope.

Human involvement

Your team confirms the report schedule and reviews the first live run.

Systems

Pythonyour existing ERP system

Possible outcome

Reports are created on schedule with less manual work.

How We Work

How we deliver

Our reporting automation services follow the ERP report task from current data flow to supported launch. Each step is scoped around your API docs, schedule, and report rules.

Typical engagement: 4-6 weeks

Why Us

What makes us different

For ERP report generation, small backend mistakes can affect every report your team reads.

Nothing goes out without your sign-off

We review each ERP report run and output rule with you before launch, so wrong data does not reach the team unchecked.

How we prove it

Every engagement includes an approval queue before go-live.

We recommend what's right for you — not what pays us

We take no referral fees from automation tool vendors. We map n8n and Python paths first, then recommend what fits.

How we prove it

Design doc lists tool options with tradeoffs before build.

We don't disappear after launch

We monitor the ERP data pull and scheduled Python job, so endpoint errors or missed runs get caught before you do.

How we prove it

Monitoring dashboard included; 30-day post-launch support.

No surprise invoices, ever

We map ERP endpoints, report rules, and the n8n-or-Python choice into a clear build plan before code starts.

How we prove it

Signed scope doc and weekly updates before code is written.
