Why SYSPRO Users Still Rely on Spreadsheets and why you should get started with Tailored Action Dashboards instead.
For all the power SYSPRO provides, many businesses still fall back on Excel to manage day-to-day decisions. Planners use it to model production capacity. Finance creates reconciliations offline. Customer service teams maintain separate records for job cards or escalations.
Why? Because it works. But only until it doesn’t.
These disconnected workflows become a liability:
- Data is duplicated, outdated, or misaligned
- Insights are locked inside people, not systems
- There’s no traceability, automation, or scale
That’s why Lancea developed Action Dashboards, a low-code, SYSPRO-native platform that gives teams the power of Excel-like dashboards with the control and security of ERP.
What are Action Dashboards?
Action Dashboards is a configurable toolkit that creates actionable dashboards and custom screens directly within SYSPRO. It empowers your team to interact with live ERP data—without exporting, scripting, or building parallel tools.
It’s ideal for:
- Production planners
- Finance teams
- Warehouse managers
- Admin departments
- Custom reporting
Wherever you’re currently doing something outside SYSPRO, Action Dashboards can likely bring it back inside.
Key Features That Make Action Dashboards Powerful
1. Grid-Based Interface with Excel-Like Flexibility
- Sort, filter, colour-code, and organise data the way your team thinks
- View relationships through parent-child sub-grids
2. Workflow-Ready Action Buttons
- Trigger transactions directly from the dashboard
- Example: Approve an order, schedule a job, or escalate a task
3. In-Screen Document Attachments
- Upload PDFs, job cards, photos or compliance docs to each record
- Keep everything traceable, centralised, and audit-friendly
4. Real-Time SYSPRO Integration
- Data doesn’t sync—it’s live from the SYSPRO backend
- No double handling, no exports
5. API & External Data Compatibility
- Pull or push data from SQL databases, external platforms, or third-party tools
- Create true operational visibility across platforms
From Spreadsheets to Scalable Solutions
Let’s face it: spreadsheets become essential because they reflect real needs.
But when they live outside ERP:
- They don’t scale
- They don’t integrate
- They introduce business risk
Action Dashboards gives you the best of both worlds: the flexibility of Excel with the structure of SYSPRO.
Real-World Use Cases
Some of the most impactful Action Dashboards dashboards we’ve built include:
- Production Order Management: Visually track orders, allocate resources, and initiate workflows
- Procurement Approval Matrix: See purchase requests by vendor, urgency, or budget threshold
- Customer Escalation Tracker: Centralize service issues and assign accountable actions
- Multi-Warehouse Stock Visibility: View and compare stock levels across locations on one screen
Every dashboard is custom-built for your business logic—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
