Workflow
The reports nobody wants to produce, produced automatically.
Recurring operational reports rarely get automated because each one is individually small. Collectively they consume a substantial amount of skilled time every week. Datox makes each one a configured workflow that runs on schedule.
The pattern
Small reports, large aggregate cost
A report that takes two hours a week costs more than a hundred hours a year, and usually consumes the time of someone whose judgement is needed elsewhere. Automating a set of these is often the fastest visible return from the platform.
- The same extraction and formatting repeated on a fixed schedule.
- Manual distribution to a recipient list that rarely changes.
- Quality dependent on whoever is covering that week.
- No record of what was reported previously beyond emailed attachments.
Automation
What a configured recurring report provides
Once configured, the report runs itself: data is collected, checks are applied, output is generated and distribution happens on schedule. Attention is only required when something looks wrong.
Included by default
- Scheduled execution aligned to your reporting calendar.
- Validation so a broken source is detected rather than published.
- Consistent format and definitions every period.
- Retained history of every version produced.
- Named ownership so the report is not orphaned.
