Step 1: Schedule a weekly SYSPRO export every Friday at 5 PM — pull scrap transactions with item code, quantity scrapped, and unit cost.
Step 2: Import the export into Google Sheets and use formulas to calculate total scrap cost and scrap rate % per product line.
Step 3: Connect Google Sheets to Databox as a data source and build KPI cards showing scrap cost, scrap rate, and week-over-week change.
Step 4: Set Databox to email your operations manager a scorecard every Monday at 7 AM with the top 3 scrap offenders highlighted.

See PlansGoogle Sheets is a great fit for any small business that needs to track data, build reports, or collaborate on numbers without paying for extra software. You get a full-featured spreadsheet in your browser, on your phone, or on your tablet — no installation needed. Your whole team can work in the same file at the same time, and every change is saved automatically with a full version history. It connects with tools you likely already use, like Salesforce, Asana, and QuickBooks, and it opens and edits Excel files without a hitch.
