Enterprise KPI (Performance Metrics) Reporting
A leading manufacturing company engaged Advantage to create an application that pulled
together periodic multi-metric performance results across many major manufacturing
plants to put robust and easy-to-use performance reporting on executives’ and
managers’ desktops. Their existing process used spreadsheets for each
metric and plant that each plant controller manually updated and submitted
to HQ at different times during the month. The disparate timing of submissions
meant comprehensive reporting was rarely available for management, and never
timely.
Advantage used a combination of QuickBase with our proprietary Dashboard reporting to extend
QuickBase’s native abilities. This combination quickly and efficiently provided
on-demand reporting and analysis capability on management desktops, without
anyone having to compile or distribute reports anymore. This functionality
appeals to many of Advantage’s large client companies, and has been successfully
deployed repeatedly.
