Business Intelligence for Manufacturers: Live MIS, Power BI and Ask Tejaxo AI

Most manufacturers do not lack data. They lack one place where the owner can see sales, stock, production and cash without waiting for someone to build a spreadsheet. Business intelligence at Tejaxo means three things: live reports and MIS inside Tejaxo ERP, Power BI dashboards on your ERP and other data, and plain-language questions answered by Ask Tejaxo AI.

1. Live reports and MIS inside the ERP

Report hubs cover finance, inventory, purchase, sales orders, sales, quality, production and payroll. They run on live transactions, so there is no separate data warehouse to refresh and no month-end copy-paste. Every report offers search, drill-down, print and export to Excel or CSV. MIS views are available by day, week, month and year.

2. One screen for multi-plant owners

For groups with several plants, the MIS shows year-on-year, quarter-on-quarter and month-on-month growth and sales by plant, state and customer on a single screen. Because stock, numbering and books are kept plant-wise, each plant’s figures and the group total come from the same records – see one-screen MIS for multi-plant groups.

3. Power BI dashboards on your data

When the question goes beyond one system, Tejaxo builds Power BI dashboards on existing data in Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL or MongoDB, and for companies on Microsoft Dynamics 365. Custom reports can also be delivered on web, Android and iOS. For plants on SAP or Dynamics, dashboards are part of how we extend the existing ERP without changing its core.

4. Ask Tejaxo AI: questions instead of reports

Owners can type a question in English or Hinglish – for example, the top customers by sales this quarter compared with last quarter – and get an answer, a short summary and a drill-down table. Ask Tejaxo AI is read-only by design: verified query templates run before any free-form question, AI and dashboards only read data, and every AI action is logged.

Worked example: the Monday morning review

The owner of Tejaxo Manufacturing, a two-plant group (sample), used to receive a sales and stock summary every Monday, put together by the accounts team from three exports. With live MIS, the same view is open on the phone at 9 a.m.: sales by plant against last year, the top five customers, items below re-order level and purchase by supplier. When a number looks wrong, a drill-down shows the invoices behind it, and the question “which customers are down compared with last quarter?” is answered by Ask Tejaxo AI instead of a new spreadsheet.

What to measure first

• Sales: by plant, customer and product, against last year and last quarter.
• Stock: value by category, items below re-order, slow-moving stock and ageing.
• Production: output against plan, rejections by reason and machine OEE – try the free OEE calculator.
• Purchase: top items and suppliers, pending orders and goods received but not invoiced.
• Cash: receivables and payables ageing.

Questions about business intelligence

Do we need a separate data warehouse for BI?

Not for Tejaxo ERP reports: the report hubs and MIS run on live transactions. Power BI is used when you want to combine ERP data with other sources or build your own dashboards.

Can you build Power BI dashboards on our existing system?

Yes. Power BI dashboards can be built on existing data in Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL or MongoDB, and on ERPs such as Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Can owners ask questions instead of opening reports?

Yes. Ask Tejaxo AI answers plain-language questions in English or Hinglish – a metric, a period, a grouping, top-N or a comparison – with a summary and a drill-down table. It is read-only by design.

Can every report be exported?

Yes. Reports offer search, drill-down, print and export to Excel or CSV.

Does it work for groups with several plants?

Yes. Stock, numbering and books are kept plant-wise, and the MIS shows growth and sales by plant, state and customer on one screen.
