Dashboard use case
A use case for Dashboards could be for a large retail company that wants to monitor its sales performance.
The dashboard could display key performance indicators (KPIs) such as total sales, average transaction value, and number of customers, along with other strategic data such as inventory levels, profit margins, and customer satisfaction scores. By having all of this information in one place along with being presented in a visual format, the management team can quickly and easily analyze the data and make informed decisions to improve the company's performance.
The dashboard would effectively communicate the story of the company's sales performance, allowing the management team to identify trends, areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to drive growth.
