Implementation as Standalone Solution

Who Is Standalone Mode For?

Standalone mode is ideal for companies that collect large volumes of data and need to present that information internally to employees or externally to customers and partners — without developing or modifying their own software. 

One real-world example is a utility company providing heating energy to households. As part of their operations, they continuously collect data such as energy consumption, outside temperature, indoor temperature, and target temperature — all recorded every 15 minutes for each household. 

Instead of building a custom reporting platform, the company uses BladeFx in standalone mode. Each household receives individual login credentials for the BladeFx web and mobile apps. Once logged in, customers can access a dedicated set of reports — in this case, five reports — which present their energy usage across different time periods. The entire reporting solution is managed within BladeFx: user access, report logic, data security, and report presentation, all without requiring any integration into the company’s core systems. 

This approach allows the company to provide high-quality, real-time reporting to thousands of end-users while keeping implementation simple, secure, and fully managed. 

Another very common use case for BladeFx in standalone mode involves companies that already use well-known market-standard software, such as ERP, CRM, or financial systems — but still face limitations when it comes to reporting. 

In many of these cases, customers run their ERP or CRM systems on-premises, with direct access to their own databases. While these systems handle daily operations, the built-in reporting capabilities often don't fully meet the company's growing needs for advanced reporting, analytics, or flexible report distribution. 

BladeFx steps in as a standalone reporting solution, connecting directly to the customer’s database. Without the need to integrate into the ERP or CRM interface itself, BladeFx can fetch data directly from the database and generate custom reports that go far beyond the standard reports provided out-of-the-box by these systems. 

Some of the typical scenarios where customers use BladeFx standalone alongside their existing software include: 

• Extended Operational Reports - Creating reports that combine multiple data sources or include calculations not available in the ERP system’s native reporting engine. 
• Regulatory and Compliance Reporting - Generating legally required reports that are not provided by default in standard ERP packages. 
• Management Dashboards - Building executive dashboards with KPIs and aggregated data that span multiple modules within the ERP system
• Customer-Specific Reports - Allowing business users or customers themselves to access customized reports via BladeFx web or mobile app, without needing access to the underlying ERP system. 
• Multi-Device Access - Giving mobile access to reports, which many ERP solutions still lack or offer only with expensive add-ons. 

By using BladeFx in standalone mode, companies avoid the high costs and complexity of customizing standard ERP packages, while still getting powerful, flexible reporting fully tailored to their needs. And because BladeFx works independently of the ERP vendor, customers retain full control over their reporting layer, with the freedom to expand and adjust reports at any time — without impacting their core system. 

How It Works

BladeFx standalone mode is designed to deliver powerful reporting capabilities without the need for complex integrations or custom development. The system operates independently, allowing you to quickly build, manage, and distribute reports directly from BladeFx itself. 

Here’s a simple overview of how it works: 

• Data Connection - BladeFx connects directly to your database — whether it's hosted on-premises or in the cloud. Once connected, BladeFx can read and process data across multiple tables, views, or even different databases if needed. 

• Report Design and Setup - Your reporting team defines the reports inside the BladeFx designer interface. You can create any kind of report: operational, analytical, financial, regulatory, or customer-facing. Parameters, filters, and user-specific attributes are fully supported, giving you complete control over how reports behave. 

• User Management - Users are managed directly in BladeFx. You can define roles, permissions, and report access on a very granular level, ensuring that each user only sees the reports and data they are authorized to view. Both internal users (employees) and external users (customers, partners) can be onboarded. 

• Access via Web or Mobile App - End-users access BladeFx via the fully responsive web application or dedicated mobile apps. No installation or development is required on the customer side — users simply log in, select a report, and instantly view or export the results. 

• Flexible Report Distribution - In addition to on-demand reporting, BladeFx can automatically generate and distribute reports via email or file export based on predefined schedules or triggered events. 

• No Application Dependency - Since BladeFx operates independently from your core business applications, there’s no risk of interfering with your existing ERP, CRM, or custom systems. All reporting is managed in BladeFx, while your operational systems continue running as usual. 

This architecture allows companies to have full enterprise-grade reporting functionality up and running quickly — without the time, cost, and complexity typically involved in modifying existing business software. 

End-User Experience

One of the biggest advantages of BladeFx in standalone mode is the simplicity and convenience it offers to end-users. Whether they are employees, partners, or customers — accessing reports becomes effortless. 

Here’s what the user experience looks like: 

• Simple Login - Each user receives personal login credentials. They simply log in through the BladeFx web app or mobile app, both designed for a clean and intuitive user interface. 

• Personalized Report List - Upon login, users see only the reports they have access to, based on their role, permissions, or assigned attributes. There’s no clutter — just the reports relevant to them. 

• Easy Report Execution - With a few clicks, users can open any available report. BladeFx automatically displays parameter forms where needed. Parameters may include date ranges, locations, customers, products, or any custom filters — all fully controlled by the report designer. 

• Dynamic Parameter Forms - Report parameters are dynamic and adapt to the context of each report. Drop-downs, calendars, checkboxes, and search fields make it simple for users to input the necessary information, even if they have no technical knowledge. 

• Fast Report Generation - Once parameters are selected, BladeFx instantly generates the report. Users can review data directly in their browser or mobile app without any delays. 

• Multiple Export Formats - Reports can be easily exported to PDF, Excel, CSV, or other supported formats, allowing users to share or further analyze the data as needed.

• Mobile Access Anywhere -The BladeFx mobile app ensures that reports are available on the go, providing real-time information at the fingertips of field teams, managers, or customers — anytime, anywhere. 

• Consistent User Experience - Whether accessing BladeFx via desktop, tablet, or mobile phone, users enjoy a consistent and professional reporting interface, minimizing the need for training or support. 

Thanks to this fully managed environment, end-users can focus on using the data — not learning how to get it.
