Automated reporting UK

Custom reports that build themselves.

If your team rebuilds the same report every month, you are paying for manual work that should already be automated. Granular Metrics Ltd. turns spreadsheet-heavy reporting into scheduled, branded reports with commentary ready for review.

Management pack / April Issued 06 May
Draft commentary

Operating margin rose 3.8 points after delivery costs fell in the South East. Two contracts need review before the next close.

Reports designed for every audience.

One reporting workflow can produce the right view for each reader. No one has to edit the same spreadsheet twice.

From raw data to ready report.

The workflow removes gathering and formatting work. Missing data creates a clear exception instead of a silent error.

01

Refresh the sources

Scheduled connections pull approved finance, CRM and operational data into one reporting layer.

02

Apply the template

Each audience receives its own layout, labels and KPI rules. Branding stays consistent.

03

Draft the story

AI report generation flags movement, variance and risk, then writes a reviewable commentary draft.

04

Distribute securely

Owners approve the report before role-based delivery. Exceptions remain visible in the audit trail.

Human oversight stays in charge

AI drafts the commentary. Your owner approves it.

Variance notes are written against the numbers in the report. A finance or operational owner checks the wording, adds context and approves distribution.

No report leaves the workflow without a named reviewer.
