Management software · Read-only copy, query shown

“My management software knows what has been done, never what is due.”

I read your software's database on a copy that nothing can modify. Every Monday, client by client: the next invoice, the visit due, the missed visit, the invoicing that stopped.

The Monday report

What is due, client by client, in euros

Your software records the work done and the invoices issued. It doesn't set them against what each contract provides for. Every Monday, I make that match in the database and send you the list.

  • The next invoice for each contract, with its amount.
  • The next visit due, based on the frequency written into the contract.
  • Missed visits: provided for in the contract, never scheduled or carried out.
  • Invoicing that stopped: a contract still active whose invoices have ceased.
  • What is due and never invoiced, in euros, from the very first check.

An example

Example of a Monday report · fictitious company

This is the shape of the report you receive. Each line links back to the query that produced it.

How it works

A read-only copy, rules written with you

  1. 1The copy
    Every night, a copy of your database is made on your server and opened read-only. Your software keeps running with nothing writing to it.
  2. 2The definitions
    Together we write 20 to 50 business definitions: what an active contract, a visit due, an invoicing stop mean in your company.
  3. 3The validation
    Before going live, the system answers 30 to 50 questions you already know the answer to. You compare.
  4. 4The Monday report
    Every Monday, the list of what is due, overdue or never invoiced, client by client, with the query next to each figure.
  • The query is always shown. Your office manager can read it, rerun it, challenge it.
  • No data leaves your server. The copy, the queries and the reports stay with you.
  • 24 re-runnable checks, compared against a frozen reference: if a change alters a result, I see it before it reaches your report.
  • No accuracy rate promised. You measure it yourself, on the questions you know the answer to.

Where to start

First the state of the database, then putting it in order

Step 1

The database health check

One day, six findings:

  • how long before the database fills up;
  • whether the backups really exist;
  • how many clients are duplicated;
  • which records are dead;
  • whether passwords are sitting in plain text;
  • where the breaks in the data are.
Step 2

Cleaning the client database

Duplicates, records to archive, addresses checked against the Base Adresse Nationale (the French national address register), missing SIREN company numbers. I hand you the list, you review it, and the corrections are made in your software. The Monday report then starts from a clean database.

Who it's for

Businesses with recurring contracts, equipped with business management software

Maintenance, technical services, installation: you invoice contracts that come round every month, every quarter or every year, and your technicians work on your clients' sites. Your management software has held the jobs and the invoices for years. You don't have a full-time finance director, and nobody has the time to match, contract by contract, what is provided for against what is invoiced.

The price

Free scoping call, then the Scan

The scoping call lasts 30 minutes and costs nothing: you describe your contracts and your software, and I tell you whether reading the database makes sense for you. Then comes the Scan, delivered within 5 working days of receiving access. It hands you the findings and the firm price of the project, valid for 60 days. If there is nothing worth doing, I tell you so.

Frequently asked questions

What I'm asked before connecting anything

Do you modify my database?

Never. I work on a copy of the database, refreshed every night and opened read-only: nothing I run can write to your software. When a finding calls for a correction, you make it in your software, after review.

Is my software vendor OK with this?

We check your contract with the vendor before connecting anything. If it sets a condition, we follow it. If it forbids reading the database, we connect nothing and I tell you so.

I already have a dashboard tool

Keep it. The Monday report comes on top of it. What is usually missing is the business reading: knowing that an active contract with no recent invoice is an anomaly, that a visit written into the contract never took place. Those rules are the definitions written with you, and they don't depend on the display tool.

Can AI get a figure wrong?

Yes, just like a colleague. That's why the query behind each figure is shown next to it, and why going live is validated on 30 to 50 questions you already know the answer to. I promise no accuracy rate: you see it for yourself, on your own answers.

What is sitting unnoticed in your database?

In 30 minutes on the phone, you describe your contracts and your management software. I tell you what a reading of the database could bring to light for you. It's free.
