Business Intelligence & Reporting for ERP Systems

Helping Distributors and Manufacturers Turn Data Into Decisions they can Act On!

Business Intelligence & Reporting for ERP-Driven Organizations

At MindHarbor, we help distributors and manufacturers turn operational data into clear, actionable insight — without disrupting the systems that run the business.

With more than 300,000 hours of real-world ERP, SQL, and reporting work, we understand how data actually flows (and breaks) inside distribution and manufacturing environments. We design and deliver reporting, analytics, and Digital Intelligence solutions that reflect how organizations operate day to day — not how software vendors assume they should.

Our work spans ERP-native reporting, data pipelines, analytics, and role-based dashboards, all grounded in production systems and built to support better decisions across pricing, inventory, purchasing, service, and operations.

Built for Real ERP Environments

Our U.S.-based team works hands-on inside live ERP ecosystems — including Epicor Prophet 21, Kinetic, Syteline, Sx.e, Syspro, VAI S2K, and other ERP and MRP platforms.

We routinely support organizations across industrial, HVAC, electrical, Jan/San, safety & PPE, foodservice, and specialty distribution, as well as manufacturers operating in hybrid make-to-stock and project-driven models.

Rather than forcing data into rigid BI frameworks, we design solutions that respect ERP logic, reduce fragility, and remain supportable as platforms evolve.

Our Business Intelligence & Reporting Services

Data Architecture, Warehousing & ETL

We design data foundations that are reliable, auditable, and ready for analytics — without unnecessary complexity.

Data warehousing and dimensional modeling
Data migration, cleansing, and harmonization
ETL pipelines that combine ERP, vendor, and third-party data
Governance, validation, and audit controls to protect data integrity

SQL Server & Data Pipeline Development

Strong reporting depends on strong data logic.

SSIS and custom transformation logic
Stored procedures, views, and query optimization
Performance tuning for large transaction volumes
Scalable pipelines that support growth and change

Reporting Systems & Automation

We build reporting systems that teams actually use — not static reports that get ignored.

SSRS, Crystal Reports, Power BI, and custom reporting solutions
Automated report distribution via email, portals, and secure access
Multi-ERP and legacy reporting consolidation
Exception-based reporting that highlights what needs attention

Dashboards & Visualization

Dashboards should answer questions — not just look good.

Power BI, SSAS, and custom web dashboards
Role-based views for leadership, operations, sales, and finance
Margin, pricing, inventory, and performance visibility
Mobile and browser-based access for real-world use

Analytics & Digital Intelligence

Modern BI goes beyond dashboards.

We apply Digital Intelligence (DI) — practical analytics and AI techniques — to help teams surface patterns earlier and focus attention where it matters most.

Forecasting and demand analysis
Margin leakage and pricing anomaly detection
KPI and scorecard automation
Trend analysis across sales, purchasing, service, and operations

DI is applied selectively and transparently — designed to support human decision-making, not replace it.

Data Connectors & Integration

Your data lives across ERP, CRM, eCommerce, logistics platforms, vendor APIs, spreadsheets, and legacy systems.

We build custom data connectors and APIs that unify these sources into a single, trustworthy reporting layer.

Our integration work commonly includes:

ERP data extraction and replication
Vendor pricing, catalog, and rebate feeds
eCommerce and WMS data integration
CRM, logistics, and third-party API connectors
Cloud and on-prem reporting architectures

Reports

We've developed 1,000's of reports for hundreds of manufacturing and wholesale distribution clients over our twenty years.

We also typically build reporting layers into the majority of custom business applications that we develop.

We work with products like Visual Studio, SSRS, SSAS, Power BI, Crystal Reports, up to larger custom enterprise projects with third parties like: Accenture, PRO's, ADP, JDA, and others.

Dashboards

Once the reports are built, we've found that visualizing the data with dashboards and sharp user interfaces, can help bring it to life for managers, executives, and teams.

Portals (web/mobile friendly)

Then we often get called on to create secure role and permission based access for extended web and mobile usage, and in creating tools to enable users/teams to perform their own ad-hoc reporting & data analysis.

We've even been called on to develop custom enterprise BI reporting systems for some of our clients, to handle all of these processes.
