The purpose of automating repetitive tasks is to speed up operations and improve accuracy. Operations teams handle many attention-intensive, yet repetitive, tasks such as comparing spreadsheets, manually moving files, emailing prepared reports, and sifting through data for data matches or rows to combine across multiple reports to different counterparties. DashHub’s task automation can speed up these operations and improve the reporting accuracy by configuring the reports and data matching requirements ahead of time in DashHub so that when it’s time to prepare the reports, it can be as simple as a click or just verifying the end reports.

The reporting generated from the current general systems employed likely does not go the last mile in terms of customization. DashHub can customize a variety of reports to support everyone from the back office to the trading desks, from reconciliation reports, operational reports, and risk reports, to intraday portfolio updates. It configures, formats, and delivers the reports to the right counterparty, at the right time, with the right information.

Normally, generated reports are static and lack interactivity. When a value is changed that is a formula component of another column, the other column doesn't update. DashHub offers the ability to deliver Excel worksheets with active formulas and formatting, including borders, font sizing, & colors. The active formulas are a game changer for teams that need to run what-if scenarios with the reports. The DashHub Excels can also be used to run an intraday trading worksheet with all metrics calculating automatically when quantities are updated, for example. DashHub can embed any Excel formula available to the user. If the user has Bloomberg Excel installed, DashHub Excels can deliver worksheets with full Bloomberg integration.

There are cases where funds build complex models in Excel workbooks. They update the workbooks day-to-day, add to the models, and track metrics over time. DashHub Driven Excels powers existing Excel workbooks with DashHub data. Pulling data from multiple, different sources, DashHub inserts raw data into the existing workbooks at designated Sheet and Cell locations, leaving the rest of the workbook untouched. Clients are free to link to the data with formulas and build their models. Clients access the same workbook on the shared drive every day, just refreshed automatically with DashHub data every night.
