You’re inundated with marketing and sales data. So, what do you do with it? You need a way to quickly understand that information so you can put it to immediate use. In seconds, with just a few clicks of a mouse, our custom interactive flash dashboards can show you what is going on at every level of marketing and sales. No more wasting time trying to make sense out of stacks of spreadsheets and reports. Problems and opportunities are easily and quickly identified, so you can save time and take immediate action.

If you can think of marketing and sales data that you need to analyze in a visual format, we can build a dashboard or tool for you addressing any aspect of marketing including: overall marketing programs reporting, planning, and management; sales management and forecasting; customer service management; retail and merchandising management, etc.. You name the functional area you want the dashboard or tool for and we can build it.

These are just a few ideas of the types of dashboards we can build:

• Campaign lead generation and pipeline performance analysis
• Sales and territory analysis
• Customer service returns and complaints analysis
• Catalog, store, and website merchandise analyzer
• Mailing list analysis
• Inventory management analysis
• Merchandise sales and profit analysis
• Website sales and traffic analysis

Interactive Flash Dashboards:

There is no need to buy expensive software with a high learning curve that requires you dedicate valuable staff resources and time to learn and use it. You simply give us your data and we do the rest for you quickly and inexpensively. Everything is customized to your needs and environment.

We follow these steps in developing your dashboard:

• We work with you to select the metrics for the dashboard.
• You choose the data for the dashboard.
• We develop the layouts for the dashboard based on your specified needs.
• We convert the data.
• We convert the layout.
• We put the data and layout together.
• We plan the interactivity.
• We prepare the data for the interactive dashboard.
• We implement the dashboard.
• You launch the interactive dashboard.
• We update and make necessary tweaks to the dashboard each month.
   

The typical interactive dashboard project takes 4 – 6 weeks from concept to completion. All Flash and XML production files are ported to your servers and are hosted on your intranet and can be accessed through any Flash enabled web browser. The project typically goes live two weeks after we have received your data. Your results are refreshed monthly and we make any minor user interface design changes or tweaks that you might want at that time.

The pricing on interactive dashboards ranges from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on the functionality and complexity of the dashboard. Monthly refreshing of data and maintenance begins at $500. If you require updates more than once a month, we can quote you a price for that service based on the frequency of updates needed.
