The Red Flags, Metrics That Matter, and Recommended Dashboards for Success
Your metrics are the backbone of your organization. However, without a modern data & analytics solution, your business most likely will struggle to keep pace. It sounds simple, but easy-to-use dashboards matter. It’s the difference between your employees spending hours (and dollars) combing through data points and building charts from scratch…or having your progress towards KPI goals right at your fingertips.
Most of the time, organizations exhibit the same warning signs that it’s time for an upgrade:
- If your IT team consistently gets pulled in to help with data extraction and reporting for individual users and departments, it’s time for a digital transformation. With tools like Quicksight, Tableau, OACS, Power BI, Qlik, IT can take a step back from pulling data or wasting budget on day-to-day reporting.
Don’t Underestimate the Power of Visualization for your Metrics
In upgrading your approach to Data & Analytics, it’s crucial to have insight into the metrics that matter – indicators that truly assess your bottom line. For example, visualize the senior executive dashboard with the following KPI’s:
- Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)
- Liquidity Ratio
- Net Cash Flow
- Gross Profit Margin
- Current Ratio
- Working Capital
- Vendor Expenses
- Supplier/Vendor Performance
- Recent Payments
- Current Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- Operating Cash Flow from the Cash Flow Statement
- Inventory Turnover
- Balance Sheet
- Expenses by Category – Spend Classification
- Revenue Analysis & Details
These are designed to provide proactive vs. reactive operational reporting, with forward looking models that indicate the outlook for key metrics.
