Are Off the Shelf ERP Reporting Tools Wasting Your Finance Team's Time?
Lengthy Month-End Close Process
Without drill-down from summary to detail in your ERP, identifying and fixing reconciliation issues becomes a manual effort and slows down your closing process. You’re spending more time consolidating data than you are on financial processes and analysis.
Making Decisions With Stale or Inaccurate Data
Manually exporting data from JDE and Oracle EBS into Excel to create reports and analyze data is not just inefficient, it’s also prone to errors. If you aren’t confident in your numbers, those making critical business decisions won’t be, either.
Lacking Essential Technical Skills
Native reporting tools provided with JDE and Oracle EBS tend to require heavy IT involvement or extensive technical knowledge to manage. This can result in serious delays for your finance team to modify recurring reports and create ad hoc requests.

Large Data Volume Handling
As your organization grows, the volume of data in your ERP systems increases. Reporting on large datasets can impact performance, leading to slower query response times and lags in real-time reporting. Hubble’s reporting capabilities solve these issues, enabling faster analysis as data volume increases.
Reusable Reports Objects Library
Hubble allows you to create reusable report inquiries that can be built once and used in multiple inquiries. When you update an object, it updates for all inquiries subscribed to that object. This way, Hubble saves you time and frustration throughout the reporting pipeline, from initial creation to ongoing maintenance.
Row-Level User Commentary
To communicate more effectively with all users, Hubble includes the ability to capture commentary from everyone. The platform captures these comments in all rows of data and reporting for effective and continual communication, right inside the environment you’re already working in.
Hubble & Real-Time Reporting FAQs
Due to the sheer amount of data at our fingertips, organizations often struggle with slow, manual report creation that can be difficult to clean and standardize data from multiple sources. This typically relies heavily on IT resources and lots of spreadsheet exports, making it painstaking to adapt reports to evolving business needs. This data latency means that decisions are based on stale information, while heavy reporting queries can tax ERP performance, causing system slowdowns or even crashes.
ERPs can handle real-time data by capturing transactional information at the source and writing it immediately to the central database. Real-time reporting solutions (like Hubble) then tap directly into these live tables to retrieve the most up-to-date figures without waiting for batch processes. Because this can lead to system overload, purpose-built connectors often use read-only, lightweight queries that only pull the fields required for analysis so the ERP remains responsive.
Hubble is our integrated suite of performance management apps built specifically for JD Edwards and Oracle EBS ERPs. It provides self-service, drag-and-drop reporting and analytics that connect to your ERP in real time, eliminating tedious manual data dumps and refresh cycles. Hubble also includes a library of pre-built templates, industry-specific dashboards, and in-application drill-downs to accelerate report creation, empower non-technical users to identify valuable insights, and maintain your ERP’s security and performance.
With this in mind, real-time financial reporting combines all of these concepts so that your financial statements, dashboards, and metrics update instantly as soon as transactions are posted in your ERP. The continuous visibility that this enables eliminates lag between data capture and analysis, helping your team identify trends, flag anomalies, and decisively act on insights immediately. All of these benefits result in shorter month-end closes (from days to hours), more accurate forecasting, and less time spent reconciling so finance teams can spend more time advising on strategy.
Systems like your ERP’s transactional database (e.g. JD Edwards or Oracle EBS) are typically the most reliable because they capture financial events at the point of entry. Purpose-built data connectors like those used by Hubble then extract only the necessary ledger, subledger, and operational fields to minimize system load. If you need additional data, third-party market feeds can be integrated with your ERP data to provide context for valuations and risk assessments, but these are inherently less reliable than the core transactional database.
Several BI and analytics tools offer near-real-time dashboards, but these often require additional data warehousing or batch synchronization. Hubble is an ERP-native software that connects directly to JD Edwards and/or Oracle EBS without the intermediate layers for faster performance. By reducing the number of integration points that you need to manage, Hubble minimizes data latency and ensures that your dashboards always reflect current operational and financial performance.
The benefits mentioned above (primarily reducing report creation time) all save businesses money and resources. Instead of manually exporting and consolidating spreadsheets, tools like Hubble can automate and streamline these processes to speed up close times. Hubble also makes it easier to spot instant insights, reducing labor costs and enabling quicker corrective actions (which also saves money). When finance teams can self-serve reports, IT resources are freed up for more strategic projects, further reducing the cost of ownership.
Unlike generic business intelligence and reporting tools, Hubble was created specifically for JD Edwards and Oracle EBS. This more focused approach means it understands your ERP schema out of the box and can enforce existing security roles. In addition, its library of finance-centric, turnkey templates speeds up deployment and time to value. Hubble’s real-time connectors are unmatched, ensuring the data driving your decisions isn’t stale. They are also designed to have a low impact on your systems, so real-time data doesn’t cost you ERP performance or responsiveness. Lastly, its embedded workflows, audit trails, and user-type controls provide governance to align with financial reporting standards.
Hubble offers multi-level drill-downs (down to journal-entry detail) from summary dashboards. You can drill across modules (e.g. from Accounts Receivable totals to open invoices to payment applications) or drill through to related transactional screens in the ERP. Hubble uses contextual pop-ups to display metadata like the user who posted, time stamps, and approval statuses, so you always understand data lineage without having to leave the reporting interface.
Yes. Hubble has an entire library of pre-built report templates, including industry-tested templates for sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, and more. Each template is pre-configured with the KPIs, account groupings, and layouts that follow industry best practices, and you can deploy these out of the box or customize them further to suit your needs.
Speaking of customization, Hubble’s templates are fully editable with easy drag-and-drop designers to add/remove columns, change grouping structures, apply custom calculations, swap visualizations, and much more. You can save these modified layouts as new templates for future use, share them across user groups, and even add role-based permissions to limit who can change or view specific reports. All of these features provide the flexibility to maintain report consistency while keeping agile for evolving financial reporting processes.
