Explanation and possibilities

Choosing KPIs for a dashboard

A KPI dashboard shows how a company or process is doing. It works best if each number helps answer a specific question.

How does it work in practice?

Start with the decisions you make. For inventory, this may be the expected inventory life; for marketing the ratio between costs and revenues. Give each figure a definition, period and recognizable equation.

  • Compare turnover and margin with a previous period
  • Make deviations visible per channel or product
  • From a total click through to the underlying data

Which figures require action today?

The management overview brings together turnover, orders, returns and marketing. A comparison with last year provides context for a notable increase or decrease.

From the overview you can continue to the topic that requires attention. For example, researching an item, viewing stock or assessing a marketing proposal.

  • Check data quality

    Reporting and automation require actionable source data. Checks reveal missing, duplicate or anomalous data.

  • Analyze inventory

    An inventory analysis shows where items are running out, lying around for a long time or tying up a lot of money. Sales, delivery time and available stock together provide context.

  • Power BI Dashboards

    Power BI brings together data from different sources in reports. You can compare figures per period, department or sales channel.
