What it is

What automated reporting tools should solve for small business

Most small businesses run on manually-built reports. Someone exports CSVs every Monday morning, pastes them into a spreadsheet, formats the numbers, sends a screenshot in a group chat. The reports get built. They also drift. People forget weeks. New questions require new manual work. The Tuesday morning standup runs on numbers from Friday.

Automated reporting tools replace the manual cycle. The same reports build themselves on schedule, with live data, delivered to the people who need them in the channel they actually check. Owner gets the Monday morning overview at 7am. Operations leadership gets the daily summary by 6am. Finance gets the weekly P&L on Friday afternoon. No one builds anything by hand.

STELLA handles the data joining, calculation, formatting, and delivery. The reports update because the data updates — not because someone remembered to refresh the spreadsheet.

Common Questions

About this capability

What kinds of reports does STELLA generate?

Anything based on data in your connected systems. Sales pipeline, revenue, job completion, technician productivity, customer health, marketing performance, financial summaries, and custom views. The engagement that designs your reports (Reporting Design consulting) determines which reports STELLA builds.

Do my source systems need to be on the IA platform?

No. STELLA connects to most major business systems via integration. The reports work cleanest when source systems are inside the IA platform (ARION, SPARK, OLIVER) but external sources (QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Ads, etc.) are supported.

How long does setup take?

A typical reporting setup runs two to four weeks after the design phase. Most time is in defining metrics and connecting data sources, not in building the reports themselves.

What do automated reporting tools cost on STELLA?

Reporting is included in STELLA plans. Volume and complexity affect plan tier. Most small businesses run on plans between $200 and $500 per month for the reporting tier. Consulting engagements that design the reports are scoped separately.
