Tableau Dashboards on Your Data

The problem: your numbers sit in Xero or MYOB, a job or sales system and a stack of spreadsheets. Every month someone exports, pastes and checks, and by the time the report is ready it is already out of date. We connect Tableau to those systems, build dashboards your team will actually use, and train your staff to look after them. You get up-to-date figures without the monthly copy-and-paste.

Whether you are a manufacturer tracking production, a builder watching job profit, or a distributor checking margins, we start from the questions you need answered, then build the dashboards to answer them.

What We Deliver

From your first dashboards through to setup, training and fixing dashboards that already exist.

Dashboards Built for You

Tableau dashboards built around the questions your team asks every week, such as which jobs are making money, where cash is going and what is selling, rather than generic templates.
  • One-page summary for owners
  • Click through to the detail
  • Works on a phone or tablet
  • Updates itself on a schedule

Connecting Your Systems

Tableau connected to the software your business already uses: accounting, CRM, job and stock systems, databases and spreadsheets.
  • Xero, MYOB & QuickBooks
  • SQL Server, PostgreSQL & MySQL
  • Salesforce, HubSpot & Dynamics
  • Online data warehouses

Tableau Cloud & Server Setup

Tableau Cloud (online) or Tableau Server (on your own servers) set up properly from the start: safe sharing, scheduled updates, and the right people seeing the right figures.
  • Installation and settings
  • User access by role
  • Scheduled data updates
  • Backups and recovery

Training Your Team

Hands-on Tableau training using your own data. Your staff learn to build and change their own dashboards, so you are not relying on a consultant for every change.
  • Beginner to advanced
  • Your data, your dashboards
  • Calculated fields and parameters
  • Keeping dashboards tidy

Moving Off Excel or Older Reporting Tools

Replace monthly spreadsheet reports or an outdated reporting tool with Tableau. Your existing rules and calculations are kept, and the data updates itself instead of being pasted in.
  • Excel reports rebuilt
  • Older reporting tools replaced
  • Data reorganised for reporting
  • Old and new checked side by side

Fixing Slow Dashboards

If dashboards are slow, people stop using them. We review existing Tableau workbooks and fix what is slowing them down.
  • Review of each workbook
  • Faster data extracts
  • Simpler calculations
  • Tidy-up of past shortcuts

What Tableau Costs

There are two parts: Tableau licence fees (paid to Salesforce, which owns Tableau) and our fees for setting it up and building your dashboards.

Tableau Licence Pricing (as of 2026)

Licence TierApprox. CostWho It Is For
Tableau Creator~$75/user/monthAnalysts who build dashboards and data models. Includes Desktop, Prep, and one Creator seat on Server/Cloud.
Tableau Explorer~$42/user/monthStaff who change existing dashboards and explore the data themselves.
Tableau Viewer~$15/user/monthStaff who view and filter published dashboards but don't build or change them.

Consulting Costs

Our fees depend on how many systems the data comes from, how many dashboards you need and how much needs to be built. A few dashboards for one team is a much smaller job than a company-wide rollout with training for several departments. We look at it first and give you a fixed quote after a free initial chat.

Industries We Work With

Every industry tracks different things. Some of the dashboards we build most often:

Manufacturing

Production output, quality, supplier performance, how well machines are being used, and real cost per job.

Construction

Project costs, job profit, subcontractor spend, cash flow forecasts and work-in-progress (WIP) reports.

Wholesale Distribution

Stock levels, sales by rep and customer, margins, buying patterns and warehouse activity.

Aged Care

Care and staffing figures, AN-ACC funding (the government care funding model), occupancy and compliance reporting.

Tableau Consulting Across Australia

Based on the Gold Coast, we work with businesses across Australia. Most work is done remotely by video call and screen-sharing, which suits dashboard projects well. For workshops or larger rollouts, we travel when the project needs it.

If you have an internet connection and figures you need to see more clearly, we can help.

Common Questions

It depends on how many systems the data comes from, how tidy that data is, how many dashboards and users you need, and whether setup and training are part of the job. We look at it first and give you a fixed quote after a free initial chat. If you want a deeper look first, our $5,000 Process & Systems Audit gives you a written report.

Tableau is strong at detailed visual analysis, large amounts of data and connecting to many different systems. Power BI fits closely with Microsoft 365 and is often cheaper for small teams already using Microsoft software. If your data comes from many places or your analysis is complex, Tableau is often worth it. We help businesses weigh up both; see our Power BI vs Tableau comparison.

Yes. Most of our work is done remotely by video call and screen-sharing, which keeps costs down and lets us start sooner. For workshops or larger rollouts, we travel when the project needs it.

Yes. We connect Tableau to accounting software (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks), CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), business management systems (NetSuite, SAP, MYOB Advanced), databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and spreadsheets. The aim is one view of your business, built from one set of numbers.

It depends on how many systems are involved and how tidy the data is. We agree the order of work up front and show you working dashboards early, so you can tell us what to change before everything is finished.

Yes. Training is hands-on and uses your own data. We teach your staff to build and change their own dashboards, so you don’t depend on a consultant for every small change. We cover the basics through to calculated fields, parameters and keeping dashboards tidy as more people use them.
