Dashboards

Dashboards are important tools for visualizing and presenting data in a user-friendly and easily digestible way. They allow users to quickly identify trends, patterns, and outliers in large data sets, making it easier to make informed decisions and take action.

​

Some of the key benefits and uses of dashboards include:

1. Monitoring Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Dashboards can be used to track and display important metrics that are critical to the success of an organization. This can include sales figures, website traffic, customer satisfaction scores, and much more.

2. Facilitating data-driven decision making: By presenting data in a clear and concise format, dashboards can help decision-makers quickly identify trends and patterns, allowing them to make more informed decisions.

3. Improving collaboration and communication: Dashboards can be shared with team members and stakeholders, making it easier to communicate progress, share insights, and collaborate on projects.

4. Identifying opportunities for improvement: Dashboards can help identify areas where improvements can be made, such as identifying bottlenecks in a process, areas where costs can be reduced, or where performance can be improved.

5. Enhancing operational efficiency: Dashboards can be used to monitor and manage operational processes, such as inventory management, order processing, and production schedules.

6. Simplifying data analysis: Dashboards can provide a simplified view of complex data, making it easier to understand and analyze.

Overall, dashboards are a powerful tool for making data-driven decisions, improving communication and collaboration, and enhancing operational efficiency.

Business Intelligence Tools and Visualization

For Business Intelligence tools, I normally work with Tableau. It is a data visualization tool that can be connected to a variety of databases, including SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and many more. I can connect Tableau to a database, and create reports, dashboards, and visualizations that are based on real-time, up-to-date data. It makes it easier to make informed decisions and keep up with changing trends and patterns in the data.

Below is an example of the dashboard I created with real-world data for an online store in Tableau Public.
