What are the Dashboard Design Stages?
When you work with KeyData, we’ll take the time to develop a dashboard solution that suits your organisation’s needs.
At KeyData, we understand that no two businesses are the same, which is why we customise dashboards to your needs, clearly and succinctly. Together, we’ll develop an analytical dashboard design that your users manage with ease, and that presents a visual representation of the key information and important data points you need to make informed decisions.
This stage involves reviewing the complexities and challenges of your data sources. While data collection is important, it’s vital to ensure the sources are secure and of high quality, ready for reporting and analysis. KeyData can also help you transform and model your data to make it suitable for reporting if you need our help.
Validating data is crucial. Ensuring data accurately reflects your business is an important step in building trust with end users which is vital to supporting your data journey. If the data are inaccurate or incomplete,this can lead to false reports or misrepresented statistics.
Get in touch with us to discuss what would best suit your organisation.
We work with you to design a customised dashboard design that’s unique to the needs of your business. As Tableau partners we follow visualisation best practices when designing dashboards, this means:
- Clear and concise dashboards
- Easy filter and drill down of data
- Standardisation in visualisations, including branding
What are the most common challenges when integrating data sources?
When you manually compile data from different sources, a number of issues and challenges can arise. These may include:
Disparate data sources
Some sources of data can be difficult to compare and can lead to inaccurate results if not managed carefully.
Repetitive reporting
Your time is valuable and shouldn't be wasted on reporting the same data each time it's needed by the business.
Lack of awareness of data quality/issues
It can sometimes be difficult to notice issues with the quality of your data which can then lead to inaccurate reporting.
Unsecure data
Data security is of the utmost importance, and the manual handling and transferring of data (for example in spreadsheets) can leave it vulnerable to accidents and security breaches.
Wasting time looking for data
Manually combing through data to find the required information can take valuable time and cost your business money.
Inconsistent interpretation of your data
Humans are flawed and we may not interpret data the same each time we view it. This is accentuated when multiple people apply different methods to reporting and interpreting data.
Overstretched internal resources
Teams can end up spending a lot of time and energy on manual data-related tasks, which can lead to overstretching, errors and potential burnout!
Basic or old reporting systems
Older reporting systems may be antiquated and not provide easy access or intuitive reporting.
Limited or no version control
Having no control of the versions of data sets can lead to confusion, frustration, and a lack of trust in your reporting.

Automate your reporting processes to monitor and support your business performance
From a management perspective, using the right platform for designing and sharing dashboards with your business can enable the integration of disparate data and enhance your business’ workflow. When you automate data processes, you free up employee time which can then be put to more efficient use.
Your teams require a common view on company data, with easily understood visualisations to ensure that they can’t collaborate efficiently and make informed decisions. Our operational dashboards create awareness by leveraging business insights and removing blockers to success. Creating a well thought-out dashboard will enable you to make effective data-driven decisions.

Use Case: Xero and Salesforce data
Challenge
Companies working with multiple Xero accounts and Salesforce as their CRM, often need to invest several hours of manual work every month to reconcile their financials. They may also have a lack of insights around customer performance. As a result, decisions are not made efficiently.
Goal - Save Money and Increase Revenue
The goal of these companies is to automate manual work and reconciliation efforts, consolidating their Salesforce data into one unique source of truth for the business. By tackling these challenges they hope to improve their sales pipeline and start being more selective with their efforts towards sustaining and growing their businesses.
Outcome
We support these businesses to achieve efficiency by consolidating all their information into an interactive data dashboard design. This enables them to refocus their efforts, make informed decisions about their accounts and financials, and focus on their sales strategy.
We support businesses to achieve their goal by providing automated reports through a combination of analytical and operational dashboard solutions. These solutions include the extraction of Xero information through our "Xero Connector", and the integration of Salesforce data into a Tableau dashboard (we can even embed that dashboard back into Salesforce).
