A dashboard ...more control over your operations

A dashboard.....at a glance provides an overview of key indicators.

A dashboard immediately reminds us of the control panel in the car. It gives a global overview of all the functions of our vehicle. The comparison with a joinery is very relevant.

A dashboard in your joinery business is equally one clearly structured screen, which visually, with pie, line or bar charts, gives a global overview of your company's operations. It should be a clear summary of the performance indicators in "real time" of the various aspects of the business, such as, sales, production, deliveries, placement, invoicing, inventory,...
