Retail KPI Performance Dashboard

Designed and delivered an interactive KPI dashboard for a mid-size retailer, consolidating 12 data sources into a single view that reduced reporting time by 80%.

The Business Problem

The client's leadership team spent 15+ hours per week manually compiling sales, inventory, and customer data from disconnected spreadsheets and systems.

Why It Matters

Without a unified view, strategic decisions were delayed by days. Stock-outs and overstock situations cost the business an estimated £200K annually.

Data & Tools Used

Findings & Recommendations
