Reports that put themselves together.

Stop spending a day building the monthly report. Spend that time reading it.

In short: Bots & Pieces in Adelaide builds reporting dashboards that pull from the programs you already use, so the monthly report builds itself. See all my automation work.

Starting from the problem? The monthly report.

Based in Adelaide, South Australia. I work remotely with businesses of any size across Australia.

Everything in your name

Not sure it is worth it? What is this job costing you a year?

How it works now

Someone exports spreadsheets from different programs, pastes them together and fixes the bits that do not match. By the time anyone reads the report, the numbers have moved on.

How it works after

It builds itself from your own programs.
It sits on one screen anyone can open.
It shows how old the numbers are.
Your accounting program still holds the real figures.

Built and run for a real business, in my previous role. This shows the kind of work, not a promise that yours will be the same size.

Automation monitoring dashboard

From the first chat to it being yours

We agree which questions the report has to answer.
I check your programs can give up the numbers, and that they add up.
I build the report and test it with the people who will use it.
I hand it over, with a plain note on where each number comes from.

You get one fixed quote before any work starts. I show you how to use what is built, and looking after it afterwards is optional. You can stop after any step, and you keep everything you have paid for so far.

Other businesses' prices are typical published Australian prices, checked in October 2026, to help you compare. They are not quotes, real costs vary, and some may include GST.

Vikilinks, automation (vikilinks.com.au)
IOTAI, n8n automation (iotai.com.au)
Zapier, Team plan price (zapier.com), converted at US$1 = A$1.44

Can you work with the programs we already have?

Usually, yes. Before anything is built I check what your programs allow and whether the numbers in them are reliable, so there are no surprises halfway through.

Programs I usually start from:

Accounting system
Spreadsheets
Email
Microsoft 365
Google

How is the price worked out?

You get one fixed quote before any work starts, so the price never creeps up. What changes it:

How big the job is
How many programs it has to connect to
How much of your old information has to move across

one job.

A free half-hour chat. Bring one thing you need or one job that annoys you, and you will get a straight answer on whether it is worth building.

Bring the report you build every month. A messy one is fine, and no presentation is needed.
