Data visualization has become one of the most powerful ways of interpreting business performance and many implications in business intelligence. On ground reality, dashboards have become a mechanism for in-depth analysis as well as bird’s eye view of the facts that really matter. The dashboard gives you a real-time view of your business at a glance, providing a snapshot of all necessary data. Such as:
- Quickly know what amount is outstanding and how much is paid in advance.
- The ability to drill down to see transaction details.
- A summary of all your clients account details and balances.
For most businesses availability of data is never a problem but what is more important is how effective is the data and the insight to use it to the best effect. Studies indicate that 75% of marketers find it difficult to make data-driven results and measure performance based on its interpretation. The problem is not having enough data but the failure in identifying the most significant metrics that drive actions.
