CxReports

CxReports is a report generation engine designed to plug into existing billing workflows. Instead of wrestling with template languages, you build pixel-perfect PDF layouts using a drag-and-drop designer. It runs as a microservice, meaning your main application stays lean while CxReports handles the heavy lifting of populating and rendering complex invoices or recurring billing summaries.

The tool connects directly to your database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) or accepts data via REST API calls. You can schedule report delivery by email, push to cloud storage, or trigger generation on demand. A notable capability is dynamic table splitting, so itemized bills spanning hundreds of lines automatically break across pages. CxReports also supports multi-currency formatting and localization for international billing.

This is a good fit for dev teams already using Docker or Kubernetes who want a self-hosted reporting layer without monthly per-report fees. The software is dual-licensed: a free community edition limits some features, and paid tiers add advanced scheduling, white-labeling, and priority support. CxReports is built by the team behind the open-source CxJS framework.
