Getting one number means raising a report request
Every new question goes back to whoever writes the reports.

Smart Dashboard
Ask your group’s data a question in your own words, and get a chart, a table and an explanation back.
Smart Dashboard exists to move one number: Unlock Your Data. One vehicle and customer record across every system you run. Every AF-X product names the outcome it is there to move before it lists anything it does, and reports against that number once it is live.
Where the question never gets asked.
Three problems, in the words the buyer uses.
The dashboard answers the question someone had last year
Reports are built once and rarely re-cut.
People export to spreadsheets instead
Sales, service and parts numbers live in different places
No single place holds the figures side by side.
Cross-cutting questions go unanswered
WHAT IT DOES
8 things it does.
Let anyone ask a question in plain English, get an answer they can read, and keep the ones worth watching on a dashboard that stays live.
Ask a question in plain EnglishYour question is turned into a query against the sources you have made active.
Keep asking in the same conversationNarrow it, compare it or re-cut it without starting again.
Read a written summary beside every answerEach chart or table comes with a short explanation of what it shows.
Pin any answer to a dashboardAn answer worth watching becomes a widget you keep.
Watch KPI tiles, trends and breakdownsHeadline figures, movement over time, and splits by category in one place.
See the current number, not last night’sWidgets re-query the source when the dashboard loads.
Bring data in by upload or connectionLoad a CSV or Excel export with the schema detected for you, or connect a database read-only.
Tell it how your tables relateMap the joins once so later questions can span them.
Answers without a report request

SEE IT AT WORK
From a question to a dashboard widget.
Ask it once. Keep it if it is worth watching.
Someone asks a question in plain English. Smart Dashboard turns it into a query against the sources you have made active and returns a chart or table with a short written summary beside it. Follow-up questions narrow or re-cut the same answer without starting again, and any answer worth watching can be pinned to a dashboard, where it re-queries the source each time the page loads.
- A question asked in plain English, not a report request
- A chart or table with a written summary beside it
- Follow-ups that narrow the same answer
- Pinned answers that re-query on load
HOW IT FITS WHAT YOU ALREADY RUN
Bolts onto the system you run the business on.
Keep your core systems in charge.
Connects read-only to the systems your group already runs, or takes a spreadsheet export, and answers against whichever sources you make active. Each group’s data sits in its own isolated schema.
Smart Dashboard reads from:
- The systems you already run
- Spreadsheet and CSV exports
- Your own infrastructure, self-hosted
