A real-time financial dashboard ERP shows indicators like balance, cash flow, and due dates updated in real time, with no need to manually export reports from the financial system. [Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com) builds these dashboards connected to the ERP, with the help of **Chat with Data**.

## Why exported ERP reports tend to go stale

An exported ERP report is a snapshot of the moment it was generated — as soon as a new transaction happens, that data is already outdated. Decisions made based on exported reports risk being one step behind reality.

## How a real-time dashboard solves this

By connecting ERP data directly to a visual panel, indicators reflect the current situation, with no need for someone to generate and distribute a new report for every query.

**Common pains with exported financial reports:**

- Data outdated as soon as a new transaction happens
- Time spent exporting and formatting reports manually
- Difficulty answering specific questions without opening a new spreadsheet
- Decisions made based on already-stale information

**How a connected dashboard solves this:**

- Balance, cash-flow, and due-date indicators update automatically
- You can ask about the financial situation in natural language
- Different teams access the same panel, with no need for distributed reports
- Decisions start being based on current data, not snapshots of the past

- Uses **Chat with Data** to check the financial situation in natural language
- Builds a **dashboard** connected directly to the ERP's data
- Expands the ERP with this visualization layer, via **ERP Expansion**
