Procede Software has announced the release of its third-generation analytics platform. Built on Microsoft Power BI, the new solution is the most advanced iteration of the company’s award-winning Excede Analytics product line, representing more than a decade of reporting innovation shaped by customer feedback and deep industry collaboration, the company says.
“Integrated analytics are part of the complete business solution — not a bolt-on product,” says Larry Kettler, CEO of Procede Software. “With this latest release, we’re standing on the shoulders of the subject matter experts who’ve come before us. We've combined 20+ years of real dealership experience with the world’s leading business intelligence platform to deliver analytics that our customers will rely on every day.”
Designed specifically for the operational realities of commercial vehicle dealerships, Procede states the latest release was developed in close partnership with customers through the Procede Insider Program. Every dashboard and report is the result of thousands of hours of real-world use and refinement, the company says.

“During development, our reports were fine-tuned to meet practical user needs, ensuring Procede delivers actionable insights to empower informed decision-making,” says Scooby Barbre, senior director of business intelligence at Procede Software.
With this release, Procede’s analytics platform now runs on Microsoft Power BI, the market-leading business intelligence platform used by millions of professionals worldwide. In addition to enhanced capabilities, Procede says this shift opens new opportunities for dealerships to tap into the growing ecosystem of Power BI users and resources.
“Our customers now benefit not only from the deep industry knowledge we’ve built over the years, but also from the scalability and innovation of Microsoft Power BI, backed by a global community of data professionals,” says Kettler.
The company adds key features and benefits include:
- Embedded & Intuitive – Fully integrated within Excede DMS with browser access for mobile use.
- Operational Dashboards – Department-specific views with drill-through insights and actionable metrics.
- Financial Reporting – Multi-view income statements, balance sheets, and trend analyses.
- KPI Monitoring – Predefined reports tailored to industry-standard metrics.
- Executive-Level Views – Optimized for mobile access, featuring snapshots of profit, cash flow, and asset performance.
“Many of our team members have already integrated these dashboards into their daily routines,” says Nick Graves, FP&A Director at RWC Group. “From the parts counter to department directors, the dashboards provide meaningful insights that are relevant across all levels of the organization.”

Procede’s long-standing use of Microsoft SQL Server ensures complete data integrity across the platform. Users can drill down to the original source data supporting every metric, reinforcing transparency and confidence in every business decision, the company notes.
“Customers recognize the advantage of being able to trace a number back to its source,” Kettler says. “That level of transparency is a game-changer.”
