Calculation: €100,000 + €110,000 + €120,000 + €60,000 + €110,000 = €500,000 revenue. €500,000 ÷ 5 = €100,000 monthly average. April is €40,000 lower; (€60,000 − €100,000) ÷ €100,000 = −40 percent.

What it includes

A dashboard is more than charts. Most of the work goes into reliable data and clear definitions.

  • Connect data sources

    Excel and CSV files, databases, APIs, and exports from the software you already use.

  • Prepare the data

    Unify formats, detect duplicates and gaps, and refresh values automatically.

  • Define the metrics

    Agree on what each number means and how it is calculated, documented and verifiable.

  • Design the views

    Filters, time ranges, and detail views for the questions your team actually asks.

Typical uses

Examples of questions a dashboard answers well.

  • Revenue & sales

    Trends by month, product, or channel, and deviations from plan.

  • Operations & orders

    Open items, lead times, and bottlenecks at a glance.

  • Projects & resources

    Progress, budget, and capacity across several projects.

  • Inventory & purchasing

    Stock levels, coverage, and reorder needs from inventory and supplier data.

What you receive

The result is a tool that keeps running without manual work.

  • A working dashboard

    Used in the browser, hosted by you or on a server of your choice.

  • Documented metrics

    Every number with its definition, source, and calculation.

  • Automatic updates

    Data is fetched and checked regularly, with no manual copying.

  • Onboarding

    Your team learns the views. Later adjustments remain possible.
