The Problem with Generic Global Shop Reports

Global Shop ERP ships with a standard report library. For many manufacturers, those reports are a starting point — not a finish line. Standard reports may be too broad, organized around system logic rather than business workflow, or missing the specific filters and calculations your team needs to make decisions.

DESSS builds custom reports — and redesigns existing ones — so every department gets information in the format they can act on.

Reports DESSS Creates for Global Shop

Scheduling and Production Reports

Work order status by department, late job summaries, daily production targets vs. actuals, labor hours by job or cost center, and release-ready job queues — built for planners and production supervisors who need clarity, not spreadsheet exports.

Job Costing and Financial Reports

Actual vs. estimated cost by job, margin by customer or product line, labor and material variance reports, WIP valuation, and job completion summaries for controllers and financial leadership.

Purchasing and Vendor Reports

Open PO reports by buyer or vendor, expected delivery tracking, overdue PO summaries, receiving discrepancy reports, and vendor performance scorecards.

Inventory Reports

Inventory by location, aging, and slow-moving stock reports, cycle count variance reports, material shortage risk by scheduled job, and ABC analysis.

Executive and Leadership Reports

Monthly operational summaries, on-time delivery rate trends, top customer revenue and margin reports, and operational KPI packs for plant managers and executives.

What Good Report Design Looks Like

A well-designed Global Shop report has four qualities: it answers a specific question, it filters to what the reader needs to act on, it is fast to run without technical support, and it requires no additional spreadsheet manipulation after export.

DESSS designs every report with those qualities in mind. We work with the actual users — schedulers, buyers, controllers, managers — not just IT, so the outputs match real workflow needs.
