Jet Reports

You already have Jet Reports. We know what to do with it.

Maintain it while it earns its keep, extend it when your needs move, or recover its business rules and take them into Power BI. All three are projects we run, and the right one depends on you, not on us.

What Jet Reports does well

Financial reporting where the finance team already works

Jet Reports has one quality few tools share: it works where finance people work. A management accountant who lives in Excel does not have to change tools, learn an interface, or ask someone else for a report. They write their function, they refresh, they get their figures.

On a Dynamics NAV or Business Central base, the connection is direct and reports come together quickly. Monthly packs, profit and loss by entity, trial balances compared year on year: that is precisely the ground the tool was built for, and it holds.

Distribution automation is solid too. A pack produced and sent on the first of every month, to the right people, in the right format, with nobody touching it: the gain is real and it is measured in working days recovered every month.

That is why we push nobody to leave Jet Reports. We have nothing to gain from it, and a tool that does what is asked of it deserves to be left alone.

If you migrate

What we recover from your workbooks

A Jet to Power BI migration is simpler than it looks, because the hard part is already done: the business rules exist, they are validated, and they live in your workbooks.

  1. We read your workbooks

    Each Jet function states which accounts it aggregates, which cost centres it excludes, which period it covers. It is the most reliable documentation of your rules that exists.
  2. We extract the logic

    A rule repeated across fifteen workbooks becomes a single measure. You stop maintaining it fifteen times, and the fifteen reports finally agree.
  3. We reconcile, figure by figure

    The new report is checked against the old workbook until the totals match. That is the condition for your teams to trust the replacement.
  4. You keep Excel where it helps

    A Power BI model can also be read from Excel, as a pivot table on the same measures. Those who want to stay in Excel do, with figures now shared.

Frequently asked

What people ask us about Jet Reports

Our Jet Reports still runs. Can you maintain it?

Yes. We work on existing Jet Reports estates: adding reports, recovering workbooks after a Dynamics version upgrade, fixing a Jet function that stopped returning what was expected, training a new joiner. Many of our Jet clients are in exactly that position and have no reason to change while the tool does what is asked of it.

Should we migrate to Power BI?

It depends entirely on the use. If your reports are financial, highly structured and read in Excel by people who live there all day, Jet Reports does exactly the job and a migration would add little. If you are starting to want to cross several sources, share outside Excel, or click into a variance, Power BI opens ground Jet was never meant to cover. We tell you plainly which case you are in.

What happens to the work already done if we migrate?

It is recovered, and that is what makes these migrations simpler than they look. Your Jet workbooks hold years of validated business rules: which account belongs to which line, how a margin is computed, which cost centres are excluded. We read them, extract the logic, and put it back into a shared model, where it is written once and for all instead of repeated in every workbook.

How long does a Jet Reports to Power BI migration take?

A conventional financial scope on a single Dynamics instance generally takes a few weeks: connecting the source, rebuilding the model, recovering the priority reports and training. The deciding factor is not the number of workbooks but the number of distinct rules they contain. We measure it during the scoping workshop, before any quote.

Can you start a new Jet Reports project?

Yes, if it is the right tool for you, and for financial reporting on Dynamics, read in Excel, it often is. We set it up, connect your data and train your teams. We will simply also tell you what Power BI would do differently, so the choice is made knowingly.

If you migrate

One domain at a time

Each domain moves across one after the other while the existing platform keeps serving. The overlap lets your teams compare the two platforms on their own figures before deciding what comes next.

Show us your workbooks and we will tell you what to do with them.
