Every month, finance teams running Pegasus Opera export data to Excel, rebuild pivot tables, reformat reports and email them around the business. By the time the numbers arrive, they are already out of date. There is a better way.
Pegasus Opera 3 is a capable, well-established ERP. It handles nominal ledger, sales and purchase ledgers, cashbook, stock, sales orders and more. But when it comes to reporting and visibility, Opera was designed for a different era.
The data is there, but it is locked behind green-screen-style interfaces and rigid built-in reports. If you need a chart, a trend line, or a summary that does not match one of the standard print layouts, the answer is almost always the same: export to Excel.
None of this is a failing of Opera itself. It was built to process transactions reliably, and it does that well. But modern businesses need more than processing. They need real-time visibility, and that is what Crakd dashboards deliver.
Crakd Insights provides six dedicated dashboard modules, each designed around a core area of Opera. Every module pulls data directly from your Opera database in real time, so the numbers you see are always current.
High-level KPIs across the entire business: revenue, costs, profit margin, cash position and key trends at a glance.
Trial balance, profit and loss waterfall, balance sheet analysis and period-on-period comparisons.
Bank balances, cash flow visualisation, reconciliation status and treasury overview across all accounts.
Aged debtors analysis, customer credit exposure, collection performance and overdue invoice tracking.
Aged creditors, supplier spend analysis, payment scheduling and outstanding liability breakdown.
Order book value, delivery pipeline, order profitability and fulfilment performance tracking.
Each dashboard is fully interactive. Click any chart or figure to drill down into the underlying transactions. Filter by date range, department, cost centre or account. Save views for different roles so that the finance director, credit controller and operations manager each see exactly what they need.
You can explore a working version of these dashboards right now with sample data — no sign-up required:
The traditional Opera reporting workflow looks like this: run a report, export it, open Excel, reformat, build a pivot table, copy into a presentation, email it out. By the time the report reaches the people who need it, the data could be hours or days old.
Crakd dashboards eliminate every step in that chain.
The Crakd Gateway connects securely to your Opera database using a read-only, encrypted connection. It runs optimised queries against your existing data. Nothing is copied or stored externally. Your data stays exactly where it is — the dashboards simply give you a better way to see it.
The result is a shift from periodic, manual reporting to continuous, automatic visibility. Finance teams get hours back every week. Management gets the numbers they need, when they need them, without chasing anyone for a spreadsheet.
