We are ECI M1 Reporting Experts, and have been in business over 21 years, so we understand the manufacturing industry, and the reports that are needed. We can help with the requirements and build the reports. We work as needed with no minimums and no retainer to help with your reporting needs. We don’t even ask for anything up front.

We Understand Manufacturing Data, Not Just Report Writing
Custom M1 reporting starts with understanding how a manufacturing ERP actually works day to day — how production orders relate to inventory consumption, how job costing ties labor and material together, and where the standard M1 reports stop short of what a plant manager or controller actually needs to see. Our team is 100% US-based, and before we write a single query, we ask what actually matters: does this report need to combine production and inventory data? Does it need to run on the shop floor or land in a controller’s inbox every morning? Is this a one-time report or something
that needs to run every week?
Same-Day Responses, No Exceptions
We give same-day responses on every M1 reporting request, so you always know when
your production report, inventory report, or job costing summary will be ready.
We Speak Manufacturing, Not Just SQL
Knowing general SQL is one thing. Knowing how M1’s production, inventory, and job
cost modules relate to each other — and where manufacturers actually lose visibility
between them — is another. That’s the difference our team brings to every M1 project.
Built for Manufacturers Running on M1
M1 is used by manufacturers managing production, inventory, and job costing in one
system — so we focus on the reports this specific audience actually needs:
Production & Shop Floor Reports
Work order status, production scheduling, and shop floor throughput reports connected directly to your M1 data.
Job Costing Reports
Labor, material, and overhead cost tracking by job — comparing estimated vs. actual so you know where jobs are running over before it's too late to fix.
Inventory Reports
Inventory valuation, aging, reorder point, and material usage reports pulled straight from M1's inventory module.
Financial & Management Reporting
Combining M1's financial data with production and inventory data for management packages that the standard report library can't produce on its own.
Automated Delivery
Scheduled reports that land in the right inbox every morning or every week — no one running them manually.

We’re here to make your life easier. This means that we’ll tailor our services to your particular circumstances. For example, you don’t need an existing reporting system. If you have one, that’s great, but we’ll be happy to look at your needs and then design a system which is suitable. As well, we may recommend software platforms, but we’ll never try to sell them to you.
We actually know some programs which are free. We’re happy to share all of the knowledge and wisdom that we’ve gathered through the years with you and your team.
We specialize in report writing and database development and integration. We know how to extract information from every popular program out there. We’re also able to develop or integrate databases, with a mind to helping out clients reduce workloads at their workplaces.
For example, if you currently have staff members entering the same information in different databases, you’re wasting valuable time and money. When we create a database for you or perform software integration, your team members will only need to add information once!

All of our services are designed to lower your operating costs. When you use our company on an as-needed basis, you won't need to hire a full-time report developer to work at your place of business. Instead, you'll be able to get reports and related services when you need them and just pay as you go! It'll be way cheaper and you'll get reports which are custom and which are created by report developers who know everything about your particular software platform.

Common Questions
1. What is ECI M1 and what kind of reports does it need?

2. Can you build production planning and shop floor reports for M1?
Yes — work order status, production scheduling, shop floor throughput, and job costing reports connected directly to your M1 database.
3. Do you build inventory reports for M1?
Yes — inventory valuation, aging, reorder point, and material usage reports pulled directly from your M1 data.
4. How long does it take to build a custom M1 report?
A straightforward report is usually a few days. More complex reports combining production, inventory, and financial data can take one to two weeks.
5. Do we need to upgrade or replace M1 to get custom reports?
No. Custom reports connect directly to your existing M1 database and read data without modifying your ERP.
