Dashboards Built Around What Each Department Actually Tracks
This builds the specific metrics each function runs on — sales pipeline and targets, finance and cash, HR headcount and attendance, inventory and stock movement — as dashboards suited to that department's own working detail.
Metrics Matched to Each Function
Sales, finance, HR and inventory each measure the business differently, and a dashboard that mixes all four into generic tiles tends to satisfy none of them. This service builds a dedicated dashboard per function, populated with the figures that department already reviews in a meeting or a register, so the switch to a dashboard is a change in effort, not a change in what gets tracked.
Sales Dashboards
- Achievement against target by executive, territory and product line
- Pipeline value and stage, from enquiry through to order
- Customer-wise sales trend and accounts that have gone quiet
- Order-to-invoice conversion and average order value
Finance Dashboards
- Cash position and short-term projected cash flow
- Receivables and payables ageing, by party and by branch
- Expense trend against budget, by head and by department
- Margin by product line, customer or branch, where the underlying data supports it
HR Dashboards
- Headcount by department, branch and role, with movement over time
- Attendance, leave balances and overtime patterns
- Recruitment pipeline — open roles, stage of each candidate, time to fill
- Attrition by department, tenure band and reason where recorded
Inventory Dashboards
- Stock value and quantity on hand by warehouse and category
- Slow-moving and dead stock, ranked by last-sold date
- Reorder points and items approaching a stockout
- Stock ageing and shrinkage between physical counts
Frequently asked questions
Do we need all four dashboards, or can we start with one?
You can start with one. Most businesses begin with whichever department feels the reporting gap most — commonly sales or finance — and add the others in later phases.
Can these dashboards share the same underlying data?
Yes, and usually should. A single reporting database feeds all four views, so a figure like a customer's order value stays consistent whether it appears on the sales dashboard or the finance one.
Our HR data is only in spreadsheets, not a system. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily — spreadsheets can feed a dashboard as a source, provided the format is consistent enough to read on a schedule. Where it is not, some structuring work happens first.
Can a dashboard include metrics specific to our industry that are not listed here?
Yes — the lists above are the metrics most businesses in these functions track, not a fixed set. We add whatever specific measure your department already works from.
Who decides which metrics go on each department's dashboard?
That department's own head, in a short review with us. The dashboard is built to match how they already run their function, not a template we impose.
How is this different from the executive and departmental dashboards service?
That service is about the structure — who sees a company-wide summary versus who sees a scoped departmental screen, and how access is controlled between them. This service is about the specific content that goes onto each department's screen once that structure is decided.
