Custom dashboard development. Your numbers on one screen.
Custom dashboard development builds the screens your team opens every morning: KPIs pulled from your CRM, ERP and spreadsheets, admin panels to manage records, and small internal tools for jobs nobody wants to do by hand. yop builds them in Tallinn, on your data and in your accounts, with access set by role.
Dashboards
A custom dashboard or Power BI?
If your data already sits in one clean database and the questions are standard, a BI tool such as Power BI, Looker Studio or Tableau is often enough, and we will tell you so. A custom dashboard pays off when the data is spread across systems and sheets, when people need to act from the screen and not only look at it, or when customers will see it too.
Custom dashboard development also covers admin panels and internal tools: the screens where your team edits products, approves requests, assigns jobs or fixes a customer record. They sit on the same data as the dashboard, so a number and the button that changes it are in one place.
- KPI dashboards. Sales, margins, stock, cash and late orders, updated automatically.
- Operational screens. Live queues and status boards for the warehouse, support or field teams.
- Admin panels. Users, products, content and settings managed behind a website or an app.
- Client-facing dashboards. Reports your customers log in to, showing their data only.
What we build
From one chart to a whole back office.
Data connections
Data from APIs, databases and spreadsheets merged into one model that refreshes on schedule, with every figure traceable to its source.
KPI dashboards
A few numbers per team, with targets, trends and an alert when something crosses a line.
Admin panels
Lists, filters, forms and bulk actions for the records your team manages every day.
Internal tools
Approval flows, calculators, schedulers and import screens that replace a manual routine.
Roles and permissions
People only see the figures and actions their role permits, and each edit leaves a record.
Phone and tablet views
The two or three screens people check on the move, laid out for a phone.

How it runs
Four steps to the first screen.
Data audit
Which systems hold the data, how clean it is and which questions people ask of it every week.
Mock-up
The dashboard or panel drawn with your real numbers and reviewed by the people who will use it.
Build
Connections, data model and screens, built in short cycles on a staging copy.
Hand over
Roles set, people trained, and a data map showing where each number comes from.
Cost and timing
How long does a custom dashboard take?
A first dashboard on two or three data sources is often ready within weeks. The time goes into the data more than the charts: connecting systems, agreeing on what each number means and fixing the gaps the audit finds. Admin panels and internal tools take longer when they include approvals, imports or detailed permissions.
yop gives a fixed price per phase after the data audit, so you know what the first dashboard costs before it is built.

Questions
Asked about dashboards.
What is custom dashboard development?
Custom dashboard development is building dashboards, admin panels and internal tools around a company’s own data and processes, instead of using a generic reporting tool. yop connects them to the CRM, ERP, databases and spreadsheets the company already uses.
Is Power BI enough, or do we need a custom dashboard?
Use a BI tool when the data is clean and the reports are standard. Build a custom dashboard when the data is scattered, when people need to act from the dashboard, or when customers will log in to see it.
What does a custom dashboard cost?
Data sources, screens and user roles set the price. yop prices it as a fixed price per phase after a short data audit.
Can a dashboard connect to our CRM, ERP and spreadsheets?
Yes. yop connects systems through their APIs or databases and imports spreadsheets on a schedule, noting the source of every number.
Can different users see different data?
Yes. Roles decide which records, numbers and buttons each person can see, and every change is logged.
Do you also build admin panels and internal tools?
Yes. Admin panels and internal tools sit on the same data as the dashboards, so the team can spot a problem and fix it in the same place.
Will the dashboard work on a phone?
The screens people check on the move are designed for phones. Dense analysis views stay on the desktop, where they are readable.
