The Krusty Krab Dashboard: Optimizing Performance Across Bikini Bottom
Introducing the latest addition to The Krusty Krab's operational toolkit - a comprehensive dashboard designed to elevate stakeholder insights. From employee performance to market and sales analytics, this multi-purpose, customizable tool is set to revolutionize decision-making across the company's growing network of locations.
KPI Measurement Overview
In the KPI section, we measure the following key performance indicators (KPIs):
Transaction Count: The number of transactions processed within the specified date range.
Lbs Sold: The total weight of products sold within the specified date range.
Gross Sales: The total revenue generated from sales within the specified date range.
GSE (Gross Sales Efficiency): A measurement of sales performance GSE measures the profitability of each pound sold by dividing Lbs Sold by Gross Sales, indicating how effectively revenue translates to actual profit.
The current period reflects the date changes made in the date filters on the left, providing a real-time snapshot of performance.
Period-over-Period (PoP) Change compares the current period to the same length of time directly preceding it. This comparison is expressed as a percentage change, offering insights into performance trends.
The 2020 Benchmarks utilize averages from the previous year for comparison purposes, providing a valuable context for evaluating performance.
The Filter Rail
It's crucial to consider the functionality and user experience of the data visualization tools. The rail positioned on the left side of the dashboard provides users with the ability to interact with and manipulate the variables presented in the visuals. This feature empowers stakeholders to focus on specific aspects such as Market, Product, and Employee, enabling them to zoom in on the variables that are most relevant to their analyses.
Furthermore, the presence of a clickable color legend at the bottom of the dashboard enhances the interpretability of the visuals. This functionality allows users to easily identify and comprehend the significance of various data points represented by distinct colors within the visuals.
In summary, the interactive rail and clickable color legend contribute to a user-friendly and intuitive data exploration experience, enabling stakeholders to derive meaningful insights from the presented data.
Overview Section Summary
The Overview section provides a comprehensive view of selected variables over a specified time period. Located in the upper right corner, three filters enable the selection of variables to be displayed in the bar and line graph. Users can toggle between Transaction Count, Lbs Sold, Gross Sales, and GSE to observe changes across time. Modifications to these filters will be reflected in the colored title with the 'Overview' prefix, aligning metrics and axes in the visual representation.
Upon closer examination, users will notice the "PoP Change" label displayed above each bar. When hovering over the bars, a popup will appear, revealing both the actual values and the PoP change for further insight. Additionally, a date filter is situated beside the two value filters at the top, providing additional flexibility in exploring the data.
Dimension Breakdown
The Dimension Breakdown section offers a comprehensive analysis through a pie and bar pair, facilitating detailed views across desired dimensions. The upper right filter empowers users to control views related to Market, Product, Employee, and Day of the Week—offering a comprehensive exploration of specific dimensions contained in the right rail.
Pie Chart
The pie chart effectively displays the constituent parts of the whole, enabling a visual representation of the distribution of values within each dimension.
Bar Chart
Complementing the pie chart, the bar chart provides a detailed showcase of specific values within a scrollable table. This functionality allows for a more granular examination of the data, facilitating in-depth insights and analysis.
Data Control
It's important to note that the values presented in the pie and bar charts are governed by the left-most filter from the Overview section, ensuring consistency and coherence in the data being examined.
The Dimension Breakdown section thus serves as a robust tool for comprehensive exploration and nuanced understanding of the data across various dimensions.
The Dimension Grid
The Dimension Grid section functions as an interface controlled by the same filter as the Dimension Breakdown. This feature enables stakeholders to leverage the same view across all values, thus facilitating a comparable analysis. By providing a consistent and synchronized perspective, this spreadsheet empowers users to gain comprehensive insights and make informed decisions based on a unified dataset.
