Manual Reporting Use Case
How One Team Took Back 13+ Hours a Week with One Smart Move
There are two kinds of teams:
🔹 Those who run their operations.
🔹 And those who are run by their operations.
One of our clients—a brilliant but overworked scheduling team—knew that pain all too well. Every single day, someone on their team spent 2+ hours manually exporting data, cleaning it in Excel, building visuals, and then sending them out to stakeholders by email.
Day in. Day out.
Two. Hours. A. Day.
Seven. Days. A. Week.
All for a daily report.
They didn’t hate the reports—they hated the grind. The drag on time, the frustration of repeat work, and worst of all—the costly errors creeping in from all that manual input. The data wasn’t just slow—it wasn’t always reliable.
They knew there had to be a smarter way.
That’s when they called INSCALED.
We Spotted the Bottleneck in Minutes
The root issue wasn’t effort—it was inefficiency.
We immediately identified four friction points:
Manual data entry (hello human error)
Repetitive formatting
Rebuilding visuals from scratch
Distribution happening after everything else was done
The team was operating on muscle and memory, not systems. They didn’t need more hours—they needed a better workflow.
Our Solution: Less Admin, Zero Errors, More Impact
We got to work fast. Together, we:
Identified how to extract clean data from their scheduling platform
Created an Excel shell that required zero manual transformation—just paste and go
Built a Power BI dashboard that automatically ingested the data and visualized it in real time
Set up automation to send the right visuals to the right stakeholders—automatically
The impact?
➡️ From 2+ hours to 5 minutes a day
➡️ Over 13 hours saved per week
➡️ 100% accuracy in reporting
➡️ A team finally free to focus on strategy, not spreadsheets
The stakeholders?
Blown away.
What used to be a manual mess was now a system they could rely on—every single day.
