Describe the report you need
Tell Pave what you track and the questions you want answered. Start from a text description, a spreadsheet of the data you keep today, or an existing tracker.
Shape it in your own words
Pave returns an app with your source records and a live dashboard already linked. Ask it to add an exception view, split a report by team, or change what a tile counts. Roll back to an earlier version if it misses.
Put it to work
Invite your team, set who sees which view, and open the dashboard. Hosting, data, and access are already handled.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is a custom reporting app?
A custom reporting app is a software application that tracks, analyzes, and visualizes metrics in a format specific to your business or workflows. The data sits in records, and the views are built once and refreshed on their own. When the monthly question comes around, the answer is already there.
How is it different from dashboard software?
Dashboard software sits on top of data that already lives somewhere else. Pave holds the data and the reporting in the same app, so records come in through forms and connectors, and the views read straight from them.
Can I build my own reporting app?
Yes. Describe what reports you need, what questions you need answered, and who should see what. Pave builds the records, views, charts, and permissions. No code, no dev team. Depending on your needs, you can have your report app up and running in the same day. Read more about how Pave works.
What should a reporting app include?
Most teams need the underlying records in one place, along with views that help you quickly assess the data. You also need charts that show movement over time, and a way to open a number and see the records behind it. A reporting app should also let you determine what each person sees by role and alert the right person when numbers cross a certain threshold.
How does a reporting app connect to existing systems?
Every Pave plan (even Free) comes with 350+ native connectors. Set up a connection once and every workflow reuses it. Numbers come in from the systems your team already works in, refresh on a schedule or the moment something changes, and a figure crossing a threshold notifies whoever needs to know.
Is the data in my reporting app secure?
Yes. Role-based access comes with the app, credentials stay encrypted, connections run server-side, and every change waits behind a draft-to-publish gate. Your IT team sees all of it in one place, built on a foundation trusted by enterprises for over 25 years. Learn more about Pave's security and compliance.
