Dimapesa Financial control
Dimapesa sells construction machinery, spare parts, workshop service and equipment rental. Their CONTPAQi accounting had the information, but in reports made for printing. Now the owners see it in an app that shows how the year is going, how much cash there is, who owes them and what to decide.

Where they started
Dimapesa sells construction machinery and also lives off spare parts, the workshop and equipment rental. Its accounting, in CONTPAQi, has every entry since 2020, but it comes out in reports made for printing, not for deciding.
The owners wanted quick answers to four questions: how the year is going, whether the cash is enough, who owes them and whom they owe, and what to decide. And to see it on their phones too.
How we approached it
- We reviewedTheir chart of accounts and more than 300,000 entries: what each account holds and how each sale is recorded.
- We mappedEach account to its place in the income statement, split by line of business: machinery, parts, workshop and rental.
- We recommendedNo extra data entry: the app reads the same report CONTPAQi already produces and checks that it balances before showing a figure.
- We builtThe app, with a user for each person and a phone version, and a home screen that answers the four questions.
What we built
Results, cash and customers
Each screen answers a question with a sentence and its figure, compared with the previous month or year. From there you can drill into the detail.
- Results · the income statement by month, quarter or year, and by line of business
- Cash · cash on hand, what customers owe, what the company owes, debt and inventory
- Customers and suppliers · who buys the most and who stopped buying
- Machines in the yard · how many months of sales are in stock and which units have sat for over a year
- After-sales · how much of the expenses parts and the workshop cover
- Budget and targets · planned against actual
- Users · everyone signs in with their own password and sees what they need

What's worth deciding
The Pending screen gathers what needs a decision and what it costs each month to put it off: machines that don't sell, parts that don't move, receivables over 90 days old. Each item records who decides, by when and what was decided.

By the numbers
- 300,000+accounting entries since 2020, read just as they come out of CONTPAQi
- 4questions the home screen answers, each with its figure
- 22screens, from results to the machine inventory
