Database Reporting & Analytics
Connect Your Data. See the Full Picture. Make Better Decisions.
Custom Reports
Connect any database — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server — and get custom reports built around the metrics that matter to your business. Sales, inventory, financials, operations and more.
Database Search
Search, filter and look up records across your entire database instantly. Find customers, orders, invoices, stock levels — anything in your data — without writing a single query.
Live Dashboards
Real-time dashboards with KPIs, charts and tables that update from your live database. Monitor your business at a glance — revenue, orders, performance, stock and any metric you need.
Your business runs on data. But if it's locked inside databases, spreadsheets and disconnected systems, it's not working for you.
We connect directly to your databases and business platforms — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Google Analytics, Shopify, Xero and more — to build custom reports, live dashboards, automated alerts and search tools that give you instant clarity on what's happening across your business.
What we do
From one-off data pulls to fully automated reporting pipelines — we turn your raw data into actionable business intelligence.
01
Custom Database Reporting
Connect any PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQL Server database and get bespoke reports built around your business metrics — sales performance, revenue breakdowns, inventory levels, customer activity, financial summaries and any data point you need to track.
02
Database Search & Lookup
A smart search interface for your connected database. Look up customer records, find specific orders, filter invoices by date range, search product catalogues by any field — all without needing to know SQL or access your database directly.
03
Live Dashboards & KPIs
Real-time visual dashboards with stat cards, bar charts, line charts, pie charts and data tables — all pulling from your live database. Monitor revenue, orders, stock, customer counts, team performance and any metric at a glance.
04
Automated Scheduled Reports
Set up reports that run automatically — daily, weekly or monthly — and get delivered straight to your inbox. Sales summaries every Monday morning, stock alerts every evening, monthly financial reports on the 1st. Fully hands-off once configured.
05
Data Export & Transformation
Export query results to CSV, formatted PDF reports or structured data tables. Transform raw database data into clean, presentable formats for board meetings, client reports, compliance documentation or any business need.
06
Cross-Platform Analytics
Combine data from multiple sources into unified reports — your database alongside Google Analytics website traffic, Shopify order data, Xero financials, Google Ads performance and more. One dashboard, every data source, the complete picture.
Our approach to database reporting
Your Data, Your Way
We don't force your data into pre-built templates. Every report, dashboard and search tool is custom-built around how your business actually works — your metrics, your KPIs, your terminology. If you can describe what you want to see, we can build it.
Secure & Read-Only
We connect to your database through encrypted, authenticated channels with read-only access. Your data never leaves your infrastructure — we query it in place and present the results. No data copying, no third-party storage, no risk.
Platform-Agnostic
PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server — plus Google Analytics, Shopify, Xero, Google Ads and more. We connect to whatever platforms your business runs on and bring the data together into a single view.
How it works
A straightforward four-stage process that takes you from disconnected data to actionable business intelligence.
1
Connect
We securely connect to your databases and business platforms — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Google Analytics, Shopify, Xero and any other data source your business relies on. Encrypted, authenticated and read-only.
2
Discover
We map your data structure, understand your reporting needs and identify the metrics, KPIs and insights that matter most to your business. We work with you to define exactly what you need to see and how often.
3
Build
We create your custom reports, dashboards, search tools and automated workflows. Every output is tailored to your requirements — from the data it pulls to the format it's delivered in and the schedule it runs on.
4
Deliver & Automate
Reports land in your inbox on schedule. Dashboards update in real time. Alerts fire when thresholds are hit. Your data works for you continuously — no manual effort, no chasing spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Businesses turn to us when
They have valuable data in databases but no easy way to see it, search it or report on it
Their team wastes hours every week manually pulling data and building spreadsheet reports
They need financial, sales or operational data combined from multiple systems into one view
They're making decisions based on outdated information because reports take too long to produce
They want real-time dashboards showing live business metrics instead of static monthly reports
They need automated alerts when key metrics hit thresholds — low stock, overdue invoices, revenue dips
Their current reporting tools are too rigid and can't show the specific data views they need
Non-technical staff need to search and query the database without knowing SQL
They want to combine website analytics, ecommerce data and financial data into unified reports
Why choose Cloudswitched for database reporting?
We're not a generic BI vendor selling dashboard software you'll never fully use. We're an IT company that connects directly to your data and builds exactly the reports, dashboards and tools you need — nothing more, nothing less.
Because we understand databases at an infrastructure level — not just the reporting layer — we can work with complex schemas, large datasets, multiple databases and cross-platform data sources that off-the-shelf tools can't handle.
Every report we build is custom. Your metrics, your terminology, your format, your schedule. We don't force your business into someone else's template — we build reporting that fits how you actually work and what you actually need to see.
And because we also provide IT support, cloud infrastructure and web development, we can integrate reporting into your existing systems — embedding dashboards into your intranet, connecting alerts to your workflows, or building reporting directly into your custom applications.
