Reporting & Dashboards

A single bad decision on a $10M project costs more than every dashboard you’ll ever build. Your Vista database already holds the answers — we surface them in real time so your leadership stops making decisions on month-old data. See our Crystal Reports development for Vista-native report builds.

The Problem

Your data is there. Your visibility isn’t.

Most Vista implementations leave reporting as an afterthought. Teams rely on canned reports that don’t answer the right questions, or they export to Excel and spend hours manually building the views they need.

By the time a report reaches a decision-maker, the data is days or weeks old. In construction, where conditions change daily, stale data is dangerous data.

We solve this by building real-time reporting infrastructure that pulls directly from your Vista database and presents it in dashboards designed for each audience in your organization.

Dashboards for every audience

Different roles need different views. We build dashboards tailored to the decisions each team makes.

Frequently asked questions

What reporting tools work with Vista by Viewpoint?

Vista by Viewpoint natively uses Crystal Reports for built-in reporting. For analytics and dashboards, Power BI, SSRS, and custom web dashboards all connect directly to Vista's SQL Server database. We build across all these platforms depending on what fits your team best.

Can you build real-time dashboards from Vista data?

Yes. We build Power BI dashboards and custom web dashboards that pull directly from your Vista SQL Server database in real time. No CSV exports, no overnight batch jobs, no stale data. Your leadership sees live project cost, cash position, and WIP data as it changes.

How do you optimize slow Vista reports?

Slow Vista reports typically stem from missing indexes on cost history and AP tables, inefficient stored procedures, or reports that pull entire tables and filter in memory. We profile at the SQL Server level using Query Store and Extended Events, add targeted indexes, rewrite queries, and typically achieve 5-50x performance improvements.

Do you build Power BI dashboards from Vista by Viewpoint data?

Yes. We build Power BI semantic models against Vista's SQL Server, design incremental data warehouse loads for performance, and create interactive dashboards for executives, project managers, and finance teams. Scheduled refresh automation keeps everything current without manual intervention.
