Custom Reporting & Analytics

CDS designs workforce reports that give your teams the information they need, in a format they can use. We start with the business question, then choose an approach supported by your platform and available data.

Why Our Reporting Services Deliver Clarity

Our reporting specialists turn workforce information into clear operational and management outputs. We define the fields, calculations, filters and delivery requirements with your users, then build and test against agreed acceptance criteria. Reporting tools, refresh frequency and data access are confirmed for the relevant platform.

What We Build

Workforce reports and management information built for your WFM environment

Workforce reports should help people make decisions. We design operational and management outputs around your measures, definitions and users, selecting the appropriate reporting tools for the available data.

Custom Workforce Reports

Labour costs, workforce patterns and operational exceptions presented for the people who need them. We agree calculations, access, output formats and delivery schedules for your supported reporting environment.

Native Platform Reporting

We select a reporting approach that fits the available data, platform capabilities and intended users. Performance, access controls, output formats and reconciliation are part of the design, not left to sign-off.

Compliance Reporting

Working time regulations, scheduling compliance, driver hours, rest period tracking - we build reports that prove compliance for audit purposes. Data that regulators need to see.

Management Information Reports

Regular reporting outputs for senior stakeholders. Weekly staffing summary. Monthly labour cost analysis. Quarterly compliance review. Reports that run automatically and land in the right inboxes, reducing manual consolidation.

Workforce Reporting Explained

What makes a useful workforce report?

Useful reporting starts with a decision, not a spreadsheet. What do users need to know, how current must the data be and what action will they take? We agree the measures, definitions, filters and presentation before development.

The technical approach depends on your environment. Native report tools, BIRT where supported, analytics platforms and governed data extracts each have different strengths and constraints. We confirm the right route and test the output against the source data.

Why the Need for Custom Reports

CUSTOM REPORTING

Why Custom Reporting?

Standard reports tell you what the platform captured. Custom reports tell you what your business needs to know.

Spreadsheet exports are cheap to build but expensive to maintain. Hours every week of manual consolidation. Custom reporting automates that work. A report that costs a few thousand pounds saves tens of thousands in manual labour every year.
