Every number ties out to the books.
Three reports saying three different things is a definitions problem, and reconciling them lands on you at close. Switchboard defines each metric once (what counts as net revenue, which accounts roll into COGS), so the number on the dashboard matches the number in the books and traces back to its source.
-
Switchboard's built-in AI is the analyst you were going to hire.
Ask in plain language. Operator writes the query, checks the answer against QuickBooks and NetSuite, and shows its work.
"Within a few days we had all of our data centralized in one easy-to-use platform. We're making decisions faster without having to hire a data team."

When a number doesn't tie out, it finds out why.
Ask why the dashboard doesn't match QuickBooks and Operator finds the cause: a refund booked to the wrong month, an order counted twice, a stalled sync. It proposes the fix; you approve it.

Teach it the close once, then hand it off.
Operator remembers your definitions: what counts as COGS, which accounts roll up where, how you present variance. Schedule the reporting pack and it's built by the time you sit down to close.

Switchboard comes with a data team.
Our engineers connect your systems, build the model around how you close the books, and stay on the account as the chart of accounts changes. You give us a few hours in week one, and nobody on your team has to learn SQL.

If you work in Claude, your data comes with you.
Switchboard plugs into Claude over MCP, the open standard for connecting AI tools to data. Claude gets your joined data and the definitions behind it, so it quotes the same numbers your dashboards show.

It costs less than the stack it replaces.
The alternative is a BI tool, a planning add-on, spreadsheet glue, and a hire to run them. Switchboard is one contract, never priced per seat, and the engineering is included.

FAQ
How long does setup take?
Typically days, not months. Your Switchboard engineer connects sources on day one, configures models and dashboards by day three, and you're live by the end of the week. You don't touch a credentials screen or a mapping table.
How much does it cost?
Book a demo and we'll give you a straightforward number. Pricing depends on your sources and complexity, but the engineer, the platform, and Operator are all included. It's not five separate line items.
Do I need to retire my current BI tool?
No. Switchboard runs alongside what you have today. Most customers migrate dashboards over piece by piece as Operator builds them, but nothing has to come out to get started.
What happens after the dashboards are live?
Your engineer stays on. They maintain your data models, add new sources as your stack changes, build new dashboards on request, and keep things current. The implementation becomes the weekly rhythm.
