Automated reporting systems for owners
Raze Drops builds automated reporting systems for owners who still compile their numbers by hand, so the weekly and monthly reports assemble themselves from the source systems and arrive on the same day every time. You read them instead of building them.

Plenty of owners know their business through a spreadsheet they rebuild every month from four other places. It works, it takes a day, and it is always slightly out of date by the time anyone reads it. This page describes the reporting system we build to replace that day, and what it costs.
What does an owner lose compiling reports by hand?
The first loss is the day itself, taken from the one person in the business whose attention is genuinely scarce.
The second is timeliness. A number you see three weeks after the fact is history, not management information, and decisions made on it are decisions made late. Manual assembly also breaks silently: one pasted column in the wrong order and the report is confidently wrong.
What does the automated reporting system actually do?
It reads the source systems directly, applies the same definitions every time, and produces your report in the shape you already use so nobody has to learn a new dashboard.
It runs on a schedule, flags anything that moved unusually, and keeps the history so this month can be compared with the last without rebuilding anything. It is integration work into your existing tools with a marketing automation layer for the delivery and alerts.
What does a reporting build cost and how quickly is it running?
It is priced per project, from $300 to $9,000 depending on the number of sources and reports, with a monthly maintenance retainer that keeps it correct as those sources change.
The proposal and the fixed price are agreed before any deal is signed. Owners often read white label delivery for resellers and partner commission systems for referrers if they also resell or refer work.

| When you see it | Weeks after the period ended | On the same day, every period |
